Active Lane Keeping is designed for use on highways
and well-surfaced country roads only. The increased
F
comfort offered by Active Lane Keeping should not
G
induce you to risk your safety. Responsibility for
staying in the lane and correctly assessing the traffic
H
situation always lies with the driver. The following
I
driving situations may arise:
J
– In the event of heavy braking, corrective steering
intervention might not take place.
K
– During active steering by the driver, corrective
L
steering intervention might be reduced or not
take place.
M
– The system cannot fully detect the environment.
N
Steering interventions might not take place.
– The system cannot correctly interpret the envi-
O
ronment. This could result in inadvertent steer-
P
ing interventions.
– Corrective steering intervention alone may not
Q
be sufficient to keep the vehicle in the driving
lane if there are ruts, winding roads, inclined road
R
surfaces or a crosswind. The driver must actively
S
steer in such situations.
T
– The system may not work as expected in unclear
traffic situations, such as turn-off lanes, exits,
U
building sites or city traffic. Steering intervention
V might not take place or be feasible.
– It may be the case that the system will remain
W
active in unwanted or unexpected situations or
X will unexpectedly go into passive mode.

warning appears on the instrument cluster, take

e Drive with extreme care.
e Always pay attention to the traffic situation and
the vehicle surroundings.
e Adapt your driving speed to road and weather
conditions.
Detection of the area around the vehicle by the sen-
sors (e.g. camera, radar) may be restricted by differ-
ent influencing factors (e.g. rain, snow, ice, heavy
water spray, oncoming headlights, dirt or damage).
This can result in failure to make steering interven-
tions or in unexpected steering interventions.
e Drive with extreme care.
e Always pay attention to the traffic situation and
the vehicle surroundings.
e Clean the front camera lens and front radar reg-
ularly and keep them free of snow and ice.
e Do not cover the sensors.
e Check the windshield for damage in the area of
the camera lens at regular intervals.
In some situations, corrective steering intervention
is not enough to keep the vehicle in the lane. Fur-
thermore, the function can change from active to

System limitations
Driving situations with
WARNING
risk of accidents
There are some driving situations in which the sys-
tem cannot guarantee active lane guidance. There is
therefore a risk of accidents when using the system!
These include the following driving situations:
– when increased attention is required on the part
of the driver
– during sporty driving
– in adverse weather conditions (e.g. fog, snow or
heavy rain)
– in unfavorable road conditions (including poor
surfaces or unclear lane markings)
– in areas with roadworks
