youto stay inthe center of the lane by
means of moderate steering inter ventions.
RIt uses theve hicle in front and the lane mark‐
ings as a refere nce depending on the driven
speed.
RAc tive Steering Assist requ ires you, as the
driver, tokeep your hands onthesteering
wheel at all times so that you are ableto
inter vene at any time tocor rect the course of
th eve hicle and keep it in lane.
RAc tive Steering Assist can be overridden at
any time bysteering theve hicle yourself.
RWhen the sy stem is actively steering, the
è symbol is shown in green in the multi‐
function displa y.
Sy stem limitations of Active Steering Assist
Ac tive Steering Assist has a limited steering tor‐
qu efo r lateral guidance. In some cases, the
st eering inter vention is not suff icienttokeep the
ve hicle in the lane.
If th e de tection of lane markings and vehicles
ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist
switches topassive mode. The sy stem pr ovides
no support in this case. During the transition from
the active topassive status, theè sym‐
bol is shown as enlar ged and flashes yello w.
Once the sy stem is passive theè symbol is
gr ay ed out in the multifunction displa y.
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in the
fo llowin

RIfth ere is poor visibility, e.g. due toinsuf fi‐
cient illumination of thero ad, or due tosno w,
ra in, fog or heavy spr ay.
RIfth ere is glare, e.g. from oncoming traf fic,
dire ct sunlight or reflection from other vehi‐
cles (e.g. if the car riag ewa yis we t).
RIfth e windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged
or co vered, for ins tance byast icke r,in the
vicinity of the camera.
RIf no, or se veral, unclear lane markings are
present for one lane, e.g. in a construction
area.
RIf th e lane markings are wornaw ay, dark or
co vered up, e.g. bydirt or sno w.
RThe distance totheve hicle in front is too
small and the lane markings thus cannot be
de tected.
RIfth e lane markings change quickl y,e.g.
lanes branch off, cross one ano ther or
mer ge.
RThe car riag ewa yis nar rowand winding.
RIfth ere are highly variable shade conditions
on the car riag ewa y.
RIfth ere are obs tacles such as object mar kers
on the lane or projecting out into the lane.
