Lane departure warning
Principle
The lane departure warning alerts when the vehi‐
cle is about to run off the road or exit the lane.
General information
This camera-based system warns starting at a
minimum speed.
The minimum speed is country-specific and is
displayed in the menu for the intelligent Safety
systems.
Warnings are issued by means of a steering
wheel vibration. The severity of the steering
wheel vibration can be adjusted.
The system does not provide a warning if the
turn signal is set in the respective direction be‐
fore leaving the lane.
Depending on the equipment version, if in the
speed range up to 130 mph/210 km/h a lane
marking is crossed, the system may intervene
with a brief active steering intervention in addi‐
tion to vibrating. The system thus helps keep the
vehicle in the lane.
