St eering Pilot sy stem limits
St eering Pilot has a limited steering torque for
lateral guidance. In some cases, thesteering
inter vention is not su fficient tokeep theve hicle
in the lane.
If de tection of lane markings and vehicles ahead
is impaired, Steering Pilot switches topassive
mode. The sy stem pr ovides no support in this
case. During the transition from the active to
passive status theè symbol is shown as
enlar ged and flashes yello w. Once the sy stem is
passive theè symbol is gr eyed out in the
multifunction displa y.
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
R Ifth ere is poor visibility, e.g. due toinsuf fi‐
cient illumination of thero ad, or due tosno w,
ra in, fog or spr ay.
R Ifth ere is glare, e.g. from oncoming traf fic,
di re ct sunlight or reflection from other vehi‐
cles (e.g. if thero ad sur face is wet). R
Ifth e windscreen is dirty, mis ted up, dam‐
aged or co vered, for ins tance byast icke r,in
th e vicinity of the camera.
R If no, or se veral, unclear lane markings are
present for one lane, e.g. in a construction
area.
R Ifth e lane markings are wornaw ay, dark or
co vered up, e.g. bydirt or sno w.
R Ifth e dis tance totheve hicle in front is too
small and the lane markings thus cannot be
de tected.
R Ifth e lane markings change quickl y,e.g.
lanes branch off, cross one ano ther or
mer ge.
R Ifth ero ad is nar rowand winding.
R Ifth ere are highly variable shade conditions
on thero ad.
R Ifth ere are obs tacles su chas traf fic guid‐

Sy stem limitations
The 360° Camera will not function or will only
partially function in thefo llowing situations:
R Ifth e doors are open.
R The side mir rors are folded in.
R Ifth e boot lid or tailgate is open.
R Ifth ere is heavy rain, snow or fog.
R Ifth e light conditions are poor, e.g. at night.
R Ifth e camera lens is obstructed, dirty or mis‐

ha ve the camera position and setting
ch ecked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Do not use the 360° Camera under such circum‐
st ances. You could otherwise injure others or
collide with objects when parking theve hicle. On
vehicles with height-adjus table suspension or
if th eve hicle is car rying a heavy load, leaving the
st andard height can result in inaccuracies in the
guide lines and in the display of thege nerated
ima ges, depending on tech nical conditions.
The field of vision and other functions of the
came rasystem may be restricted due toaddi‐
tional accesso ries on there ar of theve hicle (e.g.

Blind Spot Assi stdoes not react tovehicles
approaching and overtaking you at a greatly
di fferent speed.
As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn

Alw ays pay careful attention tothe traf‐
fi c situation and maintain a safe dis‐
ta nce at the side of theve hicle. Blind Spot Assist and
Active Blind Spot Assi st
are on lyaids. They may failto detect some vehi‐

If nar rowvehicles are within the monitoring
ra nge, e.g. bicycles.
Wa rnings may be issued in er ror when driving
close tocrash ba rriers or similar solid lane bor‐
