Fig. 109 Turn signal lever: Lane guidance and lane depar-
ture warning button
Within the limits of the system, lane guidance
provides corrective steering to assist the driver
with keeping the vehicle in the center of the lane
as much as possible. This feature can be deacti-
vated.
Switching lane guidance on and off
Requirement: lane guidance must be preselected
in the MMI > page 151.
> To activate/deactivate the availability of the
lane guidance, press the button on the turn sig-
nal lever > fig. 109.
The system will assist the driver by providing cor-
rective steering only when adaptive cruise assist
is actively regulating and availability is switched
on.
Overview of displays and lane guidance
limitations
The indicator @9 in the Driver assistance display
indicates the availability of lane guidance
=> page 143, fig. 106.
© - Lane guidance is active.
&- Lane guidance is not active.
If the or indicator light turns on white on
at least one side, or the [J indicator light turns
on white in the Driver assistance display, then
lane guidance is not active. This may be due to
the following reasons:
— The necessary lane marker lines have not been
detected (for example, in a construction zone
146
or because the lines are obstructed by snow,
dirt, water, or lighting)
— The lane is too narrow or too wide
— The curve is too narrow
— The driver's hands are not on the steering
wheel
— Visibility is obstructed by a rise or dip.
— The turn signal was activated.
Steering intervention request
If no steering activity is detected or the steering
power from the system is not sufficient, the driv-
er steering intervention request will alert the
driver using audio and visual signals. Take over
the steering and keep your hands on the steering
wheel so that you will be ready to steer at any
time. The system will become inactive after a
short time and will only be active again later.
If the driver does not take over steering, adaptive
cruise assist will be canceled. If the vehicle is
equipped with emergency assist and it is ready to
function, it will be activated if possible
=> page 162.

ing a passing maneuver.
The lane departure warning is ready to provide
warnings if an object is detected on at least one
side of the individual lane.
If the A indicator light turns on, the lane depar-
ture warning is not ready to provide warnings.
This may occur due to the following system limits
or situations:
— The necessary lane marker lines have not been
detected (for example, in a construction zone
or because the lines are obstructed by snow,
dirt, water, or lighting)

Steering intervention request
If the lane departure warning intervenes multiple
times
when no steering activity is detected, the
steering intervention request will provide a warn-
ing using audio and visual signals. Take over the
steering and keep your hands on the steering
wheel so that you will be ready to steer at any
time. The system may no longer be ready to pro-
vide warnings after a short time, and it will only
become active again later.
If the driver does not take over steering, the lane
departure warning will no longer be ready to pro-
vide warnings. If the vehicle is equipped with
emergency assist and it is ready to function, it
will be activated > page 162.
Behavior when a turn signal is active
Applies to: Vehicles without side assist: The sys-
tem will not warn you before crossing a lane
marker line if you have activated the turn signal.
In this case, it assumes that you are changing
lanes intentionally.
Applies to: Vehicles with side assist: A noticeable
corrective steering movement will occur briefly
before the vehicle exits the lane if the turn signal
is activated, the lane departure warning is ready,
and a lane change has been classified as critical
by the system due to vehicles traveling beside
you or due to approaching vehicles. This will at-
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
ZA WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 127.
— The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective steering.
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
— Corrective steering may not occur at all in
certain situations, such as during heavy
braking. Always be ready to intervene.
