CONTROLS
Acute warning
In the event of an acute warning, the steering
wheel vibrates briefly. The warning light in the
exterior mirror flashes brightly.
An acute warning is issued if the following con-
ditions are met:
▷ Another vehicle is located in the critical
area.
▷ Your own vehicle is approaching the other
lane.
▷ Depending on the system setting when the
turn indicator is turned on.
The warning stops when the other vehicle has
left the critical area.
Steering intervention
Depending on the national-market version: if
there is no response to the steering wheel vi-
brations and a lane boundary is crossed at
speeds of up to 210 km/h, approx. 130 mph,
the system responds with an active steering
intervention if necessary. The steering inter-
vention helps to return the vehicle to its driving
lane. Steering intervention can be felt at the
steering wheel, and can be overridden man-
ually at any time.
The steering intervention is carried out from
a minimum speed. The minimum speed is dis-
played on the control display.
Brief flashing of the warning light
Brief flashing of the warning light in exterior
mirror during vehicle unlocking serves as sys-
tem self-test.

Warning displays
Depending on the selected setting for warn-
ings, for example the warning time, it is pos-
sible that more or fewer warnings will be
displayed. As a result, there may also be an in-
creased number of premature warnings about
critical situations.
Functional limitations
The system may have restricted functionality
in situations such as the following:
▷ The speed of the approaching vehicle is
much faster than your own speed.
▷ In tight corners or on narrow roads.
▷ The bumper is dirty, iced up or covered,
for instance by stickers.
Depending on the national-market version, the
steering intervention may be restricted, for ex-
ample in the following situations:
▷ When there are missing, worn, poorly visi-
ble, merging/separating or ambiguous lane
boundaries, for example, in areas where
there are roadworks.
▷ With lane boundaries that are covered in
snow, ice, dirt or water.
▷ With lane boundaries that are not white.
▷ With lane boundaries that are covered by
objects.
▷ If the vehicle is too close to the vehicle
ahead.
▷ If the camera is impaired.
▷ Up to 10 seconds after switching on drive-
ready state using the Start/Stop button.
A Check Control message may be displayed
if functionality is restricted. Depending on the
