FunctionDriver Alert is activated when speed

as long as the speed is over
60 km/h.
The display shows a level mark with 1-5 bars,
where a low number of bars indicates incon-

driving.
If the vehicle is driven inconsistently then the
driver is alerted by an acoustic signal as well as
the text message
Driver Alert Time for a
break. The warning is repeated after a time if
driving ability does not improve.
WARNING
An alarm should be taken very seriously, as
a sleepy driver is often not aware of his/her
own condition.
In the event of an alarm or a feeling of tired-
ness; stop the car in a safe manner as soon
as possible and rest.
Studies have shown that it is equally as dan-
gerous to drive while tired as it is under the
influence of alcohol.

Driver Alert System - LDW*
04
202* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information on Lane Departure
Warning - LDW
The function is intended to reduce the risk for
single-vehicle accidents – accidents where, in
certain situations, the vehicle leaves the car-
riageway and is in danger of driving either into
a ditch or into oncoming traffic.
LDW consists of a camera that detects the side
markings painted on the carriageway. The
driver is alerted by an acoustic signal if the
vehicle crosses a side marking.
Operation and function
The function is switched on or off by means of
a switch on the centre console. An indicator
lamp in the button illuminates when the func-
tion is switched on.
The trip computer display shows
Lane Depart
Warn Standby <65 km/h when the function is
in standby mode due to speed being below 65
km/h.
The LDW function is activated automatically
from standby mode after the camera has scan-
ned in the carriageway's side markings and
speed exceeds 65 km/h. The trip computer
display then shows
Lane Depart Warn
Available.If the camera can no longer detect the carria-
geway's side markings the display shows
Lane Depart Warn Unavailable.
If speed decreases to below 60 km/h then the
function resumes standby mode and the dis-
play shows
Lane Depart Warn Standby <65
km/h.
If the vehicle crosses the left or right-hand side
marking of the carriageway without due cause
then the driver is alerted by an acoustic signal.
No warning is given in the following situations:
•Direction indicators activated
•The driver has his/her foot on the brake
pedal1
•In the event of the accelerator pedal being
depressed rapidly1
•In the event of rapid steering wheel move-
ments1
•In the event of a sudden turn so that the car
rolls.
The camera sensor also has certain limitations.
For more information, see page 195.
