Lane Keeping Assist
Function of Lane Keeping Assist
Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in front of
your vehicle by means of multifunction camera
1. It serves to protect you against unintention‐
ally leaving your lane. You will be warned by
means of a vibration in the steering wheel.
You are warned by vibration pulses in the steer‐
ing wheel in the following circumstances:
Lane Keeping Assist detects lane markings.
R
A front wheel passes over the lane markings.
R
Whether a warning is issued and when this
occurs also depends on the selected sensitivity
setting (standard or adaptive).
Lane Keeping Assist can neither reduce the risk
of an accident if you fail to adapt your driving
style nor override the laws of physics. It cannot
take into account road, weather or traffic condi‐
tions. Lane Keeping Assist is only an aid. You are
responsible for the distance to the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time
and for staying in your lane.
Lane Keeping Assist is available in the speed
range between 40 mph (60 km/h) and 120 mph
(200 km/h).

System limitations
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insuffi‐
R
cient illumination of the road, if there are
highly variable shade conditions or in rain,
snow, fog or heavy spray.
If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,
R
the sun or reflections.
If the windshield in the area of the multifunc‐
R
tion camera is dirty, or if the camera is fog‐
ged up, damaged or covered.
If there are no lane markings, or several
R
unclear lane markings are present for one
lane, e.g. around roadworks.
If the lane markings are worn, dark or cov‐
R
ered.
If the distance to the vehicle in front is too
R
short and thus the lane markings cannot be
detected.
If the lane markings change quickly, e.g.
R
lanes branch off, cross one another or
merge.
