intermittent vibration through the steering
wheel for up to 1.5 seconds.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Lane Keeping Assist may not always clearly
recognize lane markings.
In this case, Lane Keeping Assist may:
Rgive an unnecessary warning
Rnot give a warning
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay particular attention to the traffic
situation and stay in lane, in particular if
warned by Lane Keeping Assist.
GWARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist warning does not
return the vehicle to the original lane. There is
a risk of an accident.
You should always steer, brake or accelerate
yourself, in particular if warned by Lane Keep-
ing Assist.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Lane Keep-
ing Assist can neither reduce the risk of accident
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, braking in
good time and for staying in your lane.
Lane Keeping Assist does not keep your vehicle
in its lane.
The system may be impaired or may not function
if:
Rthere is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient
illumination of the 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 a sticker, in the vicin-
ity of the camera
Rthere are no lane markings, or several unclear
lane markings for one lane, e.g. around con-
struction sites
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 short
and thus the lane markings 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 highly variable shade conditions onthe road
Deactivating and activating Lane Keep -
ing Assist
XPress the Çbutton.
If the indicator lamp in the button lights up
and the display shows the Çsymbol in the
status area, Lane Keeping Assist is switched
on but not ready for use.
If you are driving with Lane Keeping Assist
activated at speeds above 40 mph (60 km/h)
and lane markings are detected, the display
shows the Çsymbol highlighted in the
status area. Lane Keeping Assist is then ready
for use.
Status indicators in the status overview submenu
The display in the Status Overviewsubmenu
of the on-board computer also shows the status
of Lane Keeping Assist (
Ypage 184). If Lane
Keeping Assist is activated but not ready for use,
the display shows the lane markings in the sym-
bol as broken lines :. If Lane Keeping Assist is

ready for use, the lane markings in the symbol
are shown as solid lines;.
Setting the sensitivity of Lane Keeping
Assist
XIn theAssist.menu on the on-board com-
puter, select the Lane Keeping Assist:
function (Ypage 185).
XSelectStandardorAdaptive.
In the setting Standard
, no warning vibration
occurs if:
Ryou operate the turn signal in the correspond-
ing direction. In this event, the warnings are
suppressed for a certain period of time.
Ra driving safety system, such as ABS, BAS or
ESP®, intervenes or performs a control
action.
When Adaptive
is selected, there is also no
warning vibration when:
Ryou accelerate hard, e.g. kickdown.
Rbrake sharply.
Ryou steer actively, e.g. swerve to avoid an
obstacle or change lanes quickly.
Ryou cut the corner on a sharp bend.
In order that you are warned only when neces-
sary and in good time if you cross the lane mark-
ing, the system differentiates between various
conditions and warns you accordingly.
The warning vibration occurs earlier if:
Ryou approach the outer lane marking on a
bend.
Rthe road has very wide lanes, such as a high-
way.
Rthe system detects solid lane markings.
The warning vibration occurs later if:
Rthe road has narrow lanes.
Ryou cut the corner on a bend.
Alertness Assistant ATTENTION
ASSIST
General notes
ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long,
monotonous journeys such as on freeways and
interstate highways. It is active in the 40 mph
(60 km/h) to 125 mph (200 km/h) range. If
ATTENTION ASSIST detects typical indicators of fatigue or increasing lapses in concentration on
the part of the driver, it suggests taking a break.
Important safety notes
ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid. The system
may not always detect fatigue or lapses in con-
centration until too late, or may not detect them
at all. ATTENTION ASSIST is not a substitute for
a well-rested and attentive driver.
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
restricted, and warnings may be delayed or not
occur at all:
Rif the length of the journey is less than approx-
imately 30 minutes
Rif the road condition is poor, e.g. if the surface
is uneven or if there are potholes
Rif there is a strong side wind
Rif you have adopted a sporty driving style with
high cornering speeds or high rates of accel-
eration
Rif you are predominantly driving at a speed
below 40 mph (60 km/h) or above 125 mph
(200 km/h)
Rif the time has been set incorrectly
Rin active driving situations, such as when you
change lanes or change your speed
ATTENTION ASSIST is reset and starts assessing
your attention again when you continue your
journey if:
Ryou switch off the engine
Ryou take off your seat belt and open the driv-
er's door, e.g. for a change of drivers or to
take a break
Displaying the attention level
For vehicles with steering wheel buttons you can
have the current ATTENTION ASSIST (Attention
Level) assessment displayed.

Obs.Surroundingsmessage is shown in the display.
As soon as the parking procedure is complete,
the Park Assist Finished
message appears
in the display and a tone 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 conditions of the location. It
may be the case that Active Parking Assist
guides you too far into a parking 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 select transmission position D
prematurely. The vehicle redirects and does
not drive as far into the parking space. If you
change direction too early, parking assis-
tance is canceled and Active Parking Assist is
stopped. It is then not possible to achieve a
sensible parking position from the current
position.
Exiting a parking space
In order that Active Parking Assist can assist you
when exiting the parking space:
Rthe border of the parking space must be high
enough at the front and the rear. A curb is too
small, for example.
Rthe border of the parking space must not be
too wide. Your vehicle can be maneuvered
into a position at a maximum of 45° to the
starting position in the parking space.
Ra maneuvering distance of at least 3.3 ft
(1.0 m) must be available .
Active Parking Assist can only assist you with
exiting a parking 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.
XStart the engine.
XSwitch on the turn signal in the direction in
which you are pulling away.
XShift the transmission to position Dor R.

Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models as
well as standard and optional equipment of your
vehicle that were available at the time of going
to print. Country-specific variations are possi-
ble. Note that your vehicle may not be equipped
with all of the described functions. This also
applies to systems and functions relevant to
safety.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops (
Ypage 31).
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi-
cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
GWARNING
If you are driving and reach through the steer- ing wheel to operate the adjustment knob,
you could lose control of the vehicle. There is
a risk of an accident and injury.
Only operate the adjustment knobs when thevehicle is stationary. Do not reach through the
steering wheel when driving.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when
operating the on-board computer.
GWARNING
If the instrument cluster has failed or mal-
functioned, you may not recognize function
restrictions in systems relevant to safety. The
operating safety of your vehicle may be
impaired. There is a risk of an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have the vehicle checked
at a qualified specialist workshop immedi-
ately.
The on-board computer display only shows mes-
sages and warnings from certain systems. You
should therefore make sure your vehicle is oper-
ating safely at all times. If the operating safety of
your vehicle is impaired, stop the vehicle as
soon as possible, paying attention to road and
traffic conditions. Then consult a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
The accuracy of the speedometer and odometer
displays is legally prescribed. Determining the
speed is dependent on the wheel size or the
rolling circumference of the wheels. If you
change the wheel size on your vehicle, make
sure it is assigned to the correct wheel size cat-
egory (
Ypage 277). If you change wheel size
category without recoding the control unit, the
speedometer indication will be inaccurate. Driv-
ing safety and driving systems may be impaired
or detect a malfunction and shut down.
