GWARNING
A lane-correcting brake application cannot
always bring the vehicle back into the originallane. There is a risk of an accident.
Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself,
especially if Active Lane Keeping Assist warns
you or makes a lane-correcting brake appli-cation.
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-
ognized as being solid or broken. Before this,
a warning must be given by means of inter-
mittent vibration in the steering wheel. In
addition, 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.
iA further lane-correcting brake applica-
tion can only occur after your vehicle has
returned to the original lane. No lane-correcting brake application occursif:
R you clearly and actively steer, brake or
accelerate.
R you cut the corner on a sharp bend.
R you have switched on the turn signal.
R a driving safety system intervenes, e.g. ESP ®

acceleration.
R ESP ®
is switched off.
R the transmission is not in position D.
R a loss of tire pressure or a defective tire has
been detected and displayed.
R an obstacle in the lane in which you are
driving has been detected.
Active Lane Keeping Assist may not detect
other road users or traffic situations. An inap- propriate brake application may be interrup-
ted at any time if you:
R steer slightly in the opposite direction
R switch on the turn signal
R clearly brake or accelerate
A lane-correcting brake application is inter-
rupted automatically if:
