Lane assist
Applies to veh icles : w ith lane assist
Description
Lane assist helps you keep your vehicle in your lane.
Lane assist uses a camera to detect lane boundary lines. If the system
detects that your vehicle is about to leave a lane boundary line, the
steering wheel
vibrates to alert the driver. If lane assist detects
boundary lines on both sides o f the veh icle's lane, the system enters
act ive standby mode, which is indicated by t he gree n indicator light
/ : on the instrument cluster .
If the system is in active standby mode and the turn signal is acti­
vated before driving over the boundary line , the warning does not
occur sinc e th e system allows for in tention al lane changes.
The system is designed for driving on freeways and expanded high­
ways and th us works only at speeds of 40 mph (65 km/h) or more.
& WARNING
• Lane assist will not keep your vehicle in your lane. The system
only warns the driver when the vehicle is leaving the lane. The
driver is always responsible for keeping the vehicle in the lane.
• The camera is not able to detect all lane boundary lines and in
some cases might also detect lane structures or objects as
boundary lines. This can lead to incorrect warnings or warnings
that fail to go off at all.
• The camera's visibility can be impaired by vehicles ahead of
you, for instance, or by rain, snow, heavy spray or light shining
into the camera lens. This can cause lane assist to fail to detect
boundary lines. •

Setting the warning time
Earl
y: This setting wa rns the driver before a wheel touches the
de tected la ne bounda ry l ine. The warn ing depends on the vehicle's
angle as it approaches the bo undary line . If you app roach a bounda ry
line gradua lly, t he war ning will occ ur earlier. If you app roach the
boundary line at a very sharp angle, the warning will occur just before
a whee l touches the line.
Adapti ve : In this setting, the warning time adjusts to the character­
ist ics o f th e road and the veh icle speed . The wa rning occurs later for
c u rves and occurs ear lier for straight stretches of road. The warn ing
occurs later on narrow roads t han on w ide roads .
Late: This setti ng warns the d river when a whee l dr ives over the
detected lane boundary line.
Setting the steer ing wheel vibration
When ad justing the steering wheel vib ration, the steer ing wheel
vibrates so that yo u can c hec k t he intens ity you have set.
(I) Tips
• Whe n mak ing t he ad justment, lane ass ist is not act ivated. The
steering wheel v ibrates briefly only to assist you in chang ing the
se tt ing.
• Your settings are automatically stored and assigned to the remote
cont rol key being used. •

_& WARNING
• Unintended vehicle movement can cause serious injury.
- When the selector lever is
in a driving position, the vehicle
may creep, even at idle speed. Therefore do not release the
parking brake
or foot brake until you are ready to move,
because power is transmitted to the wheels as soon as a driving
position is engaged.
- Do not accelerate while selecting a driving position . At this
time the engine must be at idle speed so that undue stress is
not placed on the clutches in the transmission.
- Remember : · even when stopped briefly with the automatic
transmission
in " D", "S" or "R", engine power is being trans­
mitted to the wheels. Your vehicle could "creep " forward or
backward. When stopped, keep the brake pedal fully
depressed and use the parking brake if necessary to keep the
vehicle from rolling .
• If the selector lever is unintentionally moved into N while you
are driving, take your foot off the accelerator pedal and wait for
the engine to return to idle speed before selecting a driving posi­
tion.
• Never shift into "R" or "P " when the vehicle is in motion .
• Never get out of the d river's seat when the engine is running.
• If you must get out of the vehicle , move the selector lever
securely into the P position and apply the parking brake firmly .
• If the engine must remain running, never have any driving
position engaged when checking under the hood. Make sure the
selector lever has securely engaged and is locked in "P " with the
