If a lane-correcting brake application occurs,
display : appears in the multifunction dis-
play. The brake application also slightly
reduces vehicle speed.
This function is available in the range between
40 mph and 120 mph (60 km/h and
200 km/h).
A lane-correcting brake application can be
made after driving over a lane marking rec-
ognize as being solid or broken. Before this, a
warning must be given by means of intermit-
tent vibration in the steering wheel. In addi-
tion, a lane with lane markings on both sides
must be recognized.
In the case of a broken lane marking being
detected, a lane-correcting brake application
can only be made if a vehicle has been detec-
ted in the adjacent lane. Oncoming vehicles,
overtaking vehicles and vehicles in adjacent
lanes can be detected.
