You should always steer, brake or accelerate
yourself, in particular if warned by Lane Keep-
ing Assist.
Lane Keeping Assist may not work properly
or may not work at all if the vehicle is incor-
rectly loaded ( page 242).

If you fail to adapt your driving style, Lane
Keeping Assist can neither reduce the risk of
accident nor override the laws of physics.
Lane Keeping Assist cannot take into account
road, weather or traffic conditions. Lane
Keeping Assist is only an aid. You are respon-
sible for the distance to the vehicle in front,
for vehicle speed, braking in good time and
for staying in your lane.
Lane Keeping Assist does not keep your vehi-
cle in its lane.
The system may be impaired or may not func-
tion if:
there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insuffi-
R
cient illumination of the road, or due to
snow, rain, fog or spray
there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,
R
the sun or reflection from other vehicles
(e.g. if the road surface is wet)
the windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged
R
or covered, for instance by a sticker, in the
vicinity of the camera
no, or several, unclear lane markings are
R
present for one lane, e.g. in a construction
area
the lane markings are worn away, dark or
R
covered up, e.g. by dirt or snow
the distance to the vehicle in front is too
R
small and the lane markings thus cannot be
detected
the lane markings change quickly, e.g.

lanes branch off, cross one another or
merge
the road is narrow and winding

there are highly variable shade conditions
