& WARNING Risk of accident despite Blind
Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles
approaching and overtaking you at a greatly
different speed.
Blind Spot Assist cannot warn drivers in this
situation.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
#
situation and maintain a safe distance at
the side of the vehicle.
Blind Spot Assist is only an aid. It may fail to
detect some vehicles and is not a substitute for
attentive driving. Always ensure that there is suffi-
cient distance to the side for other road users and
obstacles.
System limits
The system may be limited in the following situa-
tions:
If there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
R

In poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
R
snow
If there are narrow vehicles, e.g. bicycles or
R
motorbikes
If the road has very wide or narrow lanes
R
If vehicles are not driving in the middle of their
R
lane
Warnings may be issued in error when driving
close to crash barriers or similar continuous lane
borders. Always make sure that there is sufficient
distance to the side for other traffic or obstacles.
Warnings may be interrupted when driving along-
side long vehicles, for example trucks, for a pro-
longed time.

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 a multifunction
camera (
page 159). It serves to protect you
/
against unintentionally leaving your lane. You will
be warned by vibration pulses in the steering
wheel and guided back into your lane by a course-
correcting brake application.
Active Lane Keeping Assist is available in the
speed range between 37 mph (60 km/h) and
124 mph (200 km/h).
Active 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. Active Lane Keeping Assist is only an aid.
You are responsible for maintaining a safe dis-
tance, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time
and for staying in lane.
