WARNING
Lane Assist only operates as a support- it does absolve the driver of the re-
■
sponsibility to maintain full control over the vehicle's steering.
Lane Assist only makes the driver away that the vehicle is approaching the
■
line between two lanes by means of a steering intervention. The driver retains
responsibility at all times for keeping the vehicle within the lane.
Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it does
■
not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for steering
at all times.
The camera need not be able to detect all lane lines. A steering intervention
■
can only be made when the vehicle approaches a detected line between
lanes.
Some objects on the road may be incorrectly detected as lines. As a result,
■
an incorrect steering intervention may take place.
The function of adaptive lane guidance Assist system may be restricted
■
when driving e.g. over rutted roads, on a slope, or if there are lateral winds.
Do not use the assist system in poor weather, e.g. black ice, fog, heavy rain –
■
risk of accident!
WARNING
The detection capability of the camera may be limited by various external in-
fluences. In such cases, the assistant may not detect the line between two
lanes at all or not properly. The detection capability of the camera may be re-
stricted in the following situations, for example.
When visibility conditions are poor, e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall.
■
When driving around "sharp" bends.

Operation

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 164.
Lane Assist (From here on referred to only as the system), helps to keep the vehi-
cle within the lane.
The system detects the boundary lines of a lane using the camera
When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system makes a
light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the boundary
line. This corrective steering intervention can be overridden at any time.
