Active Steering Assist
▌Function of Active Steering Assist
Active Steering Assist is only available up to a
speed of 210 km/h. The system helps you to stay
in the centre of the lane by means of moderate
steering interventions. Depending on the speed
driven, Active Steering Assist uses the vehicles
ahead and lane markings as a reference.
%
Depending on the country, in the lower speed
range Active Steering Assist can use the sur-
rounding traffic as a reference. If necessary,
Active Steering Assist can then also provide
assistance when driving outside the centre of
the lane, forexample, to form a rescue lane.
If the detection of lane markings and vehicles
ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist switches
to passive mode. The system provides no support
in this case.

Steering and touch detection
The driver is required to keep their hands on the
steering wheel at all times and be able to inter-
vene at any time to correct the course of the vehi-
cle and keep it in lane. The driver must expect a
change from active to passive mode or vice versa
at any time.

If the system detects that the driver has not
steered the vehicle for a considerable period of
time or has removed their hands from the steering
wheel, display 1 appears. If the driver still does
not steer the vehicle, a warning tone sounds in
addition to the visual warning message.
If the driver does not react to the warning for a
considerable period, the system can initiate an
emergency stop ( page 372).
/
The warning does not occur or stops as soon as
the system detects that the driver is touching or
steering the steering wheel.
The touch detection may be limited or without
function if there is no direct contact between the
