Driving systemsDriving an
d parking

the road and can warn you before you leave your
lane unintentionally.
This function is available in a speed range
between 60 km/h and 200 km/h.
A warning may be given if a front wheel passes
over a lane marking. It will warn you by means of intermittent vibration through the steering
wheel for up to 1.5 second s.
Im portant safety notes G
WARNING
Lane Keeping Assist cannot always clearly
detect lane markings.
In such cases, Lane Keeping Assist can:
R issue an unnecessary warning
R not issue a warning
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay particular attention to the traffic
situation and keep within the lane, especially
if Lane Keeping Assist alerts you. G
WARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist warning does not
return the vehicle to the original lane. There is a risk of an accident.
Always steer, apply the brakes or accelerate
the vehicle yourself, especially if Lane Keep-
ing Assist alerts you.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Lane Keep-
ing Assist can neither reduce the risk of an acci-
dent nor override the laws of physics. 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, for braking in good time and for staying in
lane.
Lane Keeping Assist does not keep your vehicle
in its lane.
The system may be impaired or may not function in the following situations:
R poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient illumi-
nation of the road, or due to snow, rain, fog or
spray
R glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, the sun or
reflection from other vehicles (e.g. if the road
surface is wet) R
the windscreen is dirty, misted up, damaged
or covered, for instance by a sticker, in the
vicinity of the camera
R there are no lane markings, or several unclear
lane markings for one lane are present, e.g.
around construction sites
R the lane markings are worn away, dark or cov-
ered up, e.g. by dirt or snow
R the distance to the vehicle in front is too short
and thus the lane markings cannot be detec-
ted
R the lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes
branch off, cross one another or merge
R the road is very narrow and winding
R there are highly variable shade conditions on
the roadway
Activating Lane Keeping Assist X Activate Lane Keeping Assist using the on-
board computer; to do so, select Standard
Standard or
Adaptive Adaptive (Ypage 210).
If you drive at speeds above 60 km/h and lane
markings are detected, the lane markings are
shown in green in the assistance graphic
(Y page 226).
If Standard Standard is selected, no warning vibration
occurs if:
R you have switched on the turn signal. In this
event, the warnings are suppressed for a cer-
tain period of time.
R a driving safety system such as ABS, BAS or
ESP ®
intervenes.
When Adaptive Adaptive is selected, no warning vibra-
tion occurs if:
R you have switched on the turn signal. In this
case, the warnings are suppressed for a cer-
tain period of time.
R a driving safety system such as ABS, BAS or

intervenes.
R you accelerate hard, e.g. kickdown.
R you brake hard.
R you steer actively, e.g. swerve to avoid an
obstacle or change lane quickly.
R You cut the corner on a sharp bend.
To ensure that you are warned only when nec-
essary and in good time if you cross the lane
marking, the system detects certain conditions
and warns you accordingly. Driving systems
