If you fail to adapt yourdriving style, Lane Keep-
ing Assist can neither reduce the risk of accident
nor override the law sofphysics. Lane Keeping
Assist cannot take into account road, weather or
traffic conditions. Lane Keeping Assist is only an aid .You are responsible for the distance to the
vehicle in front, for vehicle speed,b raking in
good time and for staying in you rlane.
Lane Keeping Assist does not keep you rvehicle
in its lane.
The system may be impaired or may not function
if:
Rthere is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient
illuminatio nofthe road, or due to snow, rain,
fog or spray
Rthere is glare ,e.g. from oncoming traffic, the
sun or reflection from other vehicles( e.g. if
the road surface is wet)
Rthe windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged or
covered, for instance by asticker, in the vicin-
ity of the camera
Rno, or several ,unclea rlane markings are pres-
ent for one lane, e.g. in aconstruction area
Rthe lane markings are worn away, dark or cov-
ered up, e.g. by dirt or snow
Rthe distance to the vehicle in front is too small
and the lane markings thus cannot be detec-
ted
Rthe lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes
branch off, cross one another or merge
Rthe road is narrow and winding
Rthere are highlyv ariable shade conditions on
the road

ing Assist

Driving and parking

Maneuvering may be required in tight parking
spaces. The display shows thePark Assist
Active: Select DObs. Surroundingsmes-
sage.
XWhile the vehicle is stationary, shift the trans-
mission to position D.
Active Parking Assist immediately steers in
the other direction. The display shows the
Park Assist Active: Accelerate and
BrakeObs. Surroundingsmessage.
iYou will achieve the best results by waiting
for the steering procedure to complete before
pulling away.
XDrive forwards and be ready to brake at all
times.
Active Parking Assist brakes the vehicle to a
standstill.
The display shows the Park
AssistActive:Select RObs. Surroundingsmessage.
As soon as the parking procedure is complete,
the Park Assist Finished
message appears
in the display and atone sounds. The parking
assistance function of Active Parking Assist is
stopped. The vehicle is parked and kept station-
ary without the driver having to depress the
brake pedal. The braking effect is canceled
when you depress the accelerator pedal.
Active Parking Assist no longer supports you
with steering interventions and brake applica-
tions. Once active parking assistance has been
stopped, you must steer and brake again your-
self. PARKTRONIC is still available.
Parking tips:
RThe way your vehicle is positioned in the park- ing space after parking is dependent on vari-
ous factors. These include the position and
shape of the vehicles parked in front and
behind it and the conditionsoft he location. It
may be the case that Active Parking Assist
guides you too far into aparking space, or not
far enough into it. In some cases, it may also
lead you across or onto the curb. In this case,
cancel the active parking assistance.
RYou can also preselect transmission position
D.T he vehicle redirects and does not drive as
far into the parking space. If you change direc-
tion too early, parking assistance is canceled
and Active Parking Assist is stopped. It is then
not possible to achieve asensible parking
position from the current position.
Exiting aparking space
In order that Active Parking Assist can support
you when you exit the parking space:
Rthe border of the parking space must be high
enough at the front and the rear. Acurb is too
small, for example.
Rthe border of the parking space must not be
too wide. Your vehicle can be maneuvered
into aposition at amaximum of 45° to the
startin gposition in the parking space.
Ram aneuvering distance of at least 3.3 ft
(1.0 m) must be available.
Active Parking Assist can only assist you with
exiting aparking space if you have parked the
vehicle parallel to the direction of travel using
Active Parking Assist.
If PARKTRONIC detects obstacles, Active Park-
ing Assist brakes automatically when exiting
from the parking space. You are responsible for
braking in good time.
