2018 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS COUPE light

RIt uses as arefere nce theve hicle in front or
th e lane markings, depending on the driven
speed.
RSt eering Pilot requiresyou as the driver, to
ke ep your hands onthesteering wheel at all
times so that you are abletointer vene at any
time tocor rect the course of theve hicle and
ke ep it in lane.
RSteering Pilot can be overridden at any time
by steering theve hicle yourself.
RIfth e sy stem de tects that there are no lane
markings, it uses theve hicle ahead as a ref‐
erence up toa speed of 80 mph (130 km/h).
RWhen the sy stem is actively steering, the
è symbol is shown in green in the multi‐
function displa y.
Sy stem limitations of Steering Pilot
St eering Pilot has a limited steering torque for
lateral guidance. In some cases, thesteering
inter vention is not suff icienttokeep 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 shown as gr ayinthe
multifunction displa y.
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowin
g ins
tances:
RIfth ere is poor visibility, e.g. due toinsuf fi‐
cient illumination of thero ad, or due tosno w,
ra in, fog or spr ay.
RIfth ere is glare, e.g. from oncoming traf fic,
dire ct sunlight or reflection from other vehi‐
cles (e.g. if thero ad is wet).
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 road is nar rowand winding.
RIfth ere are highly variable shade conditions
on thero ad.
RIfth ere are obs tacles such as traffic guid‐
ance posts on the lane or projecting out into
th e lane.
The sy stem does not pr ovide assis tance in the

Sy stem limitations
The 360° Camera will not function or will only
partially function in thefo llowing situations:
RIf th e doors are open.
RThe side mir rors are folded in.
RIf th e trunk lid or tailgate is open.
RThere is heavy rain, snow or fog.
RThe ambient light is poor, e.g. at night.
RThe camera lens is obstructed, dirty or fog‐
ge d up.
RIfth eve hicle components in which the cam‐
eras are ins talled are damaged. In this eve nt,
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 accessori es atthere ar of theve hicle (e.g.
license plate brac ket, bicycle rack ).
