Area monitoring system (Front Assist)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Warning levels and braking intervention 
⇒ Limits of Front Assist 
⇒ Pedestrian Monitoring 
⇒ Operating the area monitoring system (Front Assist) 
⇒ Troubleshooting 
The area monitoring system (Front Assist) with City Emergency Braking System and Pedestrian
Monitoring can help to avoid accidents.
Within the limits of the system, Front Assist can warn the driver about imminent collisions, prepare
the vehicle for emergency braking, assist with braking, and initiate automatic braking. The warning
time varies depending on the traffic situation and driver behaviour.
Front Assist is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Driving with Front Assist
You can cancel the automatic braking interventions of Front Assist by steering or pressing the
accelerator.
Automatic braking
Front Assist can decelerate the vehicle to a standstill. The vehicle will then not be held permanently.
Depress the brake pedal.

If the problem persists, switch off Front Assist and go to a qualified workshop.
Lane keeping system (Lane Assist)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Driving with the lane keeping system 
⇒ Troubleshooting 
The lane keeping system (Lane Assist) helps the driver stay in lane.
Using a camera in the windscreen, the lane departure warning system detects lane markings on the
road. If your vehicle moves too close to a recognised lane marking, the system will warn the driver
with a corrective steering intervention. The corrective steering intervention can be overridden by
the driver at any time.
Adaptive lane guidance (depending on vehicle equipment)
The adaptive lane guidance system detects the preferred position in a lane and keeps the vehicle in
this position.
Adaptive lane guidance is switched on and off in the Driver assistance menu in the Infotainment
system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu .
System limits
Use the lane keeping system only on motorways and good main roads.
The system is not active under the following conditions:
The lane keeping system has not detected any lane markings.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the lane keeping system cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Always take care when using the lane departure
warning system otherwise you could cause accidents or injuries. The system is not a substitute for
the full concentration of the driver.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time. The driver is
always responsible for staying in lane.
The lane keeping system cannot recognise all lane markings. Poor road surfaces, road structures or
objects could be recognised incorrectly as lane markings by the lane keeping system. The lane
keeping system should be switched off immediately in these situations.
Follow the information on the instrument cluster display and respond according to the commands.

Temporarily switching off the lane keeping system
Switch off the lane keeping system in the following situations:
Very sporty driving.
In poor weather conditions and when driving on poor roads.
In roadworks and before crests in the road.
Driver intervention prompt
In the absence of any steering input, the system prompts the driver with acoustic warnings and a
display on the instrument cluster display to take over active steering.
If the driver does not respond, the system will give another warning by initiating a quick jolt of the
brake before switching to passive mode or activating Emergency Assist (with some equipment
levels).
Steering wheel vibration
The following situations can lead to vibration of the steering wheel:
If the corrective steering intervention is not sufficient to keep the vehicle in its lane.
If the system can no longer detect a lane during a significant steering intervention.

If there is a system fault, the lane keeping system can deactivate itself automatically.
Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
No camera visibility, error message, system switches itself off
Clean the windscreen ⇒ Caring for and cleaning the vehicle exterior .
Check whether any damage is visible on the windscreen in the camera's field of view.
The system is not responding as expected
Regularly clean the camera's field of view, and keep it free from snow and ice.
Do not cover the camera's field of view.
Check the area of the windscreen that is in the camera's field of view for damage.
Do not fit any objects to the steering wheel.
Traffic Jam Assist
Traffic Jam Assist helps the driver to keep in lane, and also provides assistance when following other
vehicles in congestion or slow-moving traffic.

Traffic Jam Assist is an extension of the lane keeping system (Lane Assist) for vehicles with DSG ® and
combines its functions with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Please therefore read both these
chapters and observe the information about the system limits and warnings.
Traffic Jam Assist function
Traffic Jam Assist can maintain a time interval set by the driver to a vehicle in front and help the
vehicle to stay in lane ⇒ .
The system automatically controls acceleration, braking, steering and, if required, will decelerate to
a stop behind a vehicle that is stopping, and then pull away again automatically.
Use Traffic Jam Assist only on motorways and good main roads. Do not use Traffic Jam Assist in
urban traffic.
Switching Traffic Jam Assist on and off
Traffic Jam Assist is switched on and off together with the adaptive lane guidance of the lane
keeping system in the Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu .
Traffic Jam Assist can also be switched off together with the lane keeping system via the button for
driver assist systems ⇒ Button for driver assist systems .
Technical requirements for using Traffic Jam Assist
The lane keeping system is switched on and active together with adaptive lane guidance ⇒ Driving
with the lane keeping system .
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is switched on and active ⇒ Switching ACC on and off .
The selector lever is in position D/S or in the Tiptronic gate.
The system has detected a lane marking on both the right and left sides of the vehicle ⇒ Fig. 123① .
The speed is under 60 km/h (35 mph).
Traffic Jam Assist is not active (indicator lamp for the lane keeping system lights up yellow)
As soon as one of the conditions indicated in ⇒ Technical requirements for using Traffic Jam Assist  is
no longer fulfilled.
If one of the conditions for the proper functioning of the lane keeping system is no longer fulfilled
⇒  .
If one of the conditions for the proper functioning of the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is no longer
fulfilled ⇒ Limits of ACC .
Switch off Traffic Jam Assist in the following situations
Traffic Jam Assist should always be switched off in the following situations due to system limitations:
When a high level of concentration is required by the driver.
Very sporty driving.
In poor weather conditions, e.g. snow or heavy rain.

Poor road conditions.
Driving through road works.
In urban areas.

WARNING
The intelligent technology of Traffic Jam Assist cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions
only within the limits of the system. Always take care when using Traffic Jam Assist as you could
otherwise cause accidents or injuries. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the
driver.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Do not use Traffic Jam Assist in urban traffic.
Do not use Traffic Jam Assist in poor visibility, on steep or winding roads, or on slippery road
surfaces e.g. on snow, ice, wet roads, loose chippings or flooded roads.
Never use Traffic Jam Assist offroad or on unsurfaced roads. Traffic Jam Assist is designed solely for
use on surfaced roads.
Traffic Jam Assist does not react to persons, animals or vehicles crossing or approaching in the same
lane.
If the speed reduction achieved by Traffic Jam Assist is insufficient, brake the vehicle immediately by
depressing the foot brake.
If the vehicle starts to roll unintentionally after the driver has been prompted to take control of the
vehicle, brake the vehicle immediately using the foot brake.
If a driver intervention prompt appears on the instrument cluster display, take control of the vehicle
immediately.
Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time. The driver is
always responsible for staying in lane.
The driver must be prepared to take control of the vehicle (by accelerating or braking) at all times.

If Traffic Jam Assist does not function as described in this chapter, do not use the system and go to a
qualified workshop.

If there is a fault in the system, visit a qualified workshop and have the system checked.
Semi-automatic vehicle control in a medical emergency (Emergency Assist)

Emergency Assist detects a lack of activity on the part of the driver and can keep the vehicle in lane
automatically, or brake the vehicle to a standstill if required. The system can therefore actively help
to prevent an accident.
Emergency Assist is an extension of the lane keeping system (Lane Assist), and combines these
functions with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Please therefore read both these chapters and
observe the information about the system limits and warnings.
Description
If there is no driver activity, Emergency Assist prompts the driver to take control of the vehicle again
by visual and acoustic warnings and by braking jolts.
If the driver remains inactive, the system automatically controls the accelerator, brake and steering
to slow the vehicle down and keep it in lane ⇒ . If there is sufficient stopping distance, the system
decelerates the vehicle to a complete stop and switches on the electronic parking brake
automatically ⇒ Operating the electronic parking brake .
When Emergency Assist is actively controlling the vehicle, the hazard warning lights are switched on
and the vehicle performs slight snaking movements within its lane to warn other road users.
The hazard warning lights can be deactivated by pressing the accelerator or brake, by making a
steering intervention or, depending on the situation, by pressing the button for the hazard warning
lights.
When Emergency Assist has been triggered, the system is not available again until the ignition has
been switched off and then back on.
Prerequisites
The lane keeping system and ACC are switched on.
The selector lever is in position D/S or in the Tiptronic gate.
The system has detected a lane marking on both the right and left sides of the vehicle ⇒ Fig. 123 .
Switching Emergency Assist on and off
Emergency Assist is activated automatically when the lane keeping system ⇒ Driving with the lane
keeping system  is switched on.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in Emergency Assist cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. The driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time.
Emergency Assist cannot always prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.
