Driver assistance

Ina traffic jam, lane guidance also helps with
leaving a space for emergency vehicles )) by
steering your vehicle as close to the edge of your
lane as possible.
Switching lane guidance on and off
Requirement: lane guidance must be preselected
in the MMI > page 152.
> To activate or deactivate the availability of the
lane guidance, press the button on the turn sig-
nal lever > fig. 104.
The system will assist the driver by providing cor-
rective steering only when adaptive cruise assist
is actively regulating and availability is switched
on.

The availability of lane guidance is shown with in-
dicator lights and with arrows @i) > page 145,

> 4 - Lane guidance is active.
> 4 - This indicator light turns on if the limits of
the system have been reached (for example, the
system’s steering force is not sufficient to handle
tight curves). Take over steering.
ri turns white, lane guidance is switched on
but is not active. This may occur due to the fol-
lowing 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)
— The lane is too narrow or too wide
— The curve is too narrow
— Visibility is obstructed by a rise or dip.
— The driver's hands are not on the steering
wheel
— The turn signal was activated.
Steering intervention request

gram and the distance that are set, the vehicle
handling will be adjusted from Sport to Moder-
ate and the lane guidance haptic feedback will be

Predictive control > Set speed limit - adaptation
to speed limits can be switched On or Off. Regu-
lation With tolerance can also be selected, if de-
sired. In this scenario, you may fall below or ex-
ceed the set speed in favor of increased efficien-
cy.

route - regulation based on the road ahead can
be switched Off or set individually from Slow to
Fast. The setting influences vehicle handling with

not be available. Under certain circumstances,
some objects may be detected late or may not be
detected at all. Be especially careful. Cleaning
