The active lane

In addition,
the steering

The active Lane
assist is
switched on
but not ready
to warn.
The system may be switched on but not ready to
warn due to the following reasons:
- There are no Lane markings.
- The system cannot detect the relevant lane
markings (e.g. temporary markings for road
works or markings obscured by snow, dirt, rain
or adverse light).
- The vehicle's speed is below 65 km/h, the
speed at which the lane assist system is activa
ted (the threshold may vary in different export
markets).
- The traffic lane is too narrow or too wide.
- The bend is too tight.
- You have taken your hands off the steering
wheel.
- Make sure that the camera window

vehicle:
Location of the sensors
The side assist is active above a speed of
about 15 km/h.
0
Vehicles approaching from behind
In certain cases, a vehicle
is
judged to be critical
in the event of
a
lane change even if it is still
some distance away. The faster a vehicle ap
proaches, the earlier the warning will appear on
the exterior mirror.
(2) Vehicles moving at a similar speed
The warning lamp in the relevant exterior mirror
will warn you of vehicles that are moving with the
flow of traffic at about the same speed as you if
they are judged to be critical in the event of
a
lane change. In all cases, the side assist will give
a warning for the vehicles it has detected at the
latest when they enter the "blind spot".
(§)
Other vehicles being overtaken
When you are overtaking another vehicle slowly,
with a speed differential of Less than about
15 km/h, the warning lamp in the exterior mirror
will light up as soon as the other vehicle enters
your blind spot.
If
you
are overtaking another vehicle quickly,
with a speed differential of more than about
15 km/h, the warning lamp will not light up.
System limitations
The radar sensors are designed for normal lane
widths and monitor the lanes immediately to the
left and right of your vehicle. In certain situations
the warning lamp on one of the exterior mirrors
may light up even if no vehicle is travelling in an
area that could be critical in the event of
a
lane
change. For example:
- When you are travelling in a narrow Lane or
when you are not travelling in the centre of the
lane.
In this case the system may monitor an
other lane and register a vehicle that is nor in
fact travelling in an adjacent lane.
- When you are driving into a bend. The side as
sist may react to a vehicle two lanes away.
- If the system detects other objects (such as
crash barriers, etc).
- In poor weather conditions. The functionality of
the side assist is then restricted.
The radar sensors
^>Fig.
120 must not be ob
structed by stickers, bicycle racks, deposits or any
other substances which could impair the function
of the system. The side assist must not be used
when towing a trailer. For notes on cleaning,
please refer to
^>page

WARNING
- Always watch the road and the area sur
rounding the vehicle. The side assist feature
is not
a
substitute for the full concentration
of the driver. The driver is always responsi
ble for the safety of Lane changes and other
manoeuvres.

Intelligent technology
Remember that the accident risk always in
creases
if
you
drive fast, especially
in
cor
ners
or
on a wet
or
slippery
road,
or if
you
follow too close behind the vehicle in front
of
you.
Please bear
in
mind that even
the
ESC
and
the
integrated systems cannot
compensate
for
the increased accident risk.
When accelerating
on
a uniformly slippery
surface
(for
instance
all
four wheels on
ice
or snow), press the accelerator gradually
and carefully. The driven wheels may other
wise start
to
spin
(in
spite
of
the integrated
control systems), which would impair the
car's stability and could lead
to
an accident.

The ABS and ASR systems can only work
properly
if
