The Lane Assist system does not detect
all road markings. The road surfaces, road
structures or objects in poor condition can
be incorrectly detected as road markings un-
der certain circumstances by the Lane Assist
system. Immediately counter any unwanted
intervention of the system.
●
Please observe the indications on the in-
strument panel and act as is necessary if the
traffic situation permits.
●
In the following situations there may be
undesired interventions of the system or it
may be that the system does not intervene at
all. In these situations, special attention is re-
quired from the driver and, where appropri-
ate, the temporary deactivation of the lane
assist warning system:
–
In very sporty driving situations.
–
In adverse weather conditions and roads
in poor condition.
–
When passing through areas undergoing
works.
–
Before gradient changes of grade and
river beds.
●
Always observe the vehicle surroundings
carefully and drive proactively.
●
When the area of vision of the camera be-
comes dirty, covered or is damaged, the Lane
Assist system function can be affected.

Switching the lane assist system on or off
In some countries, the Lane Assist System is
always activated when the ignition is switched
on. The connection status is shown in the
Driver assistance menu of the Infotainment
system or the driver assistance systems menu
after pressing the corresponding button.
These menus can be used to activate and de-
activate the system.
The Lane Assist system is designed to actively
intervene as of approximately 60 km/h (35
mph) and if it has detected the lane bounda-
ries (system status: active).
If the control lamp of the instrument cluster
display is off, it means that the system is con-
nected but not ready to intervene or it is dis-
connected.
When you activate a turn signal, the system
temporarily goes into a passive state in order to
allow manual lane change.
An energetic rotation or rectification of the
steering wheel by the driver causes the system
to temporarily switch to a passive state.
Driver intervention prompt
If the steering is not corrected manually, the
system prompts the driver through an indi-
cation on the instrument panel display and
acoustic warnings.
If no reaction is obtained from the driver, the
system switches to a passive state.
