Active Lane Keeping Assist
Function of Active Lane Keeping Assist
Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in
front of your vehicle by means of multifunction
camera 1. It serves to protect you against unin‐
tentionally leaving your lane. You will be warned
by means of a vibration in the steering wheel
and a course-correcting brake application guides
you back into your lane.
You are warned by vibration pulses in the steer‐
ing wheel in the following circumstances:
Active Lane Keeping Assist detects lane
R
markings.
A front wheel passes over the lane markings.

You will also be guided back into your lane by
means of a course-correcting brake application
if the following conditions are met:
Active Lane Keeping Assist detects lane
R
markings on both sides.
A front wheel drives over a solid lane mark‐
R
ing.
Whether a warning is issued and when this
occurs also depends on the selected sensitivity
setting (standard or adaptive).
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Active Lane
Keeping Assist can neither reduce the risk of an
accident nor override the laws of physics. It can‐
not take into account road, weather or traffic
conditions. Active Lane Keeping Assist is only an
aid. You are responsible for the distance to the
Driving and parking 213
vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in
good time and for staying in lane.
Vehicles with Lane Tracking package: If the
lane markings are solid lines and you do not
react to the warning, a lane-correcting brake
application can bring the vehicle back into the
original lane.
Vehicles with Driving Assistance package or
Driving Assistance Plus package: If you do not
react to the warning, a lane-correcting brake
application can bring the vehicle back into the
original lane. In the case of a broken lane mark‐
ing being detected, a brake application will only
be made if a vehicle has been detected in the
adjacent lane. Oncoming vehicles, overtaking
vehicles and vehicles in adjacent lanes can be
detected.
The brake application is available in the speed
range between 60 km/h and 200 km/h.
