Active Lane Keeping Assist

qFunction of Active Lane Keeping Assist
Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in front of your vehicle by means of a multifunction
camera (  page 173). It serves to protect you
against unintentionally leaving your lane. You will
be warned by vibration pulses in the steering
wheel and guided back into your lane by a course- correcting brake application.
Active Lane Keeping Assist is available in the
speed range between 37 mph (60 km/h) and
124 mph (200 km/h).
Active Lane Keeping Assist can neither reduce the risk of an accident if you fail to adapt your driving
style nor override the laws of physics. It cannot
take into account road, weather or traPc condi-
tions. Active Lane Keeping Assist is only an aid. You are responsible for maintaining a safe dis-
tance, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane.
The status of Active Lane Keeping Assist is dis-
played in the on-board computer:
=

Conditions for a course-correcting brake applica-tion (vehicles with Driving Assistance Package)
= A continuous lane marking was detected and
driven over with the front wheel.
= A lane marking and an oncoming vehicle, an
overtaking vehicle or vehicles driving parallel
to your vehicle were detected in the adjacent lane. The front wheel drives over the lane
marking.\bA brake application may be interrupted at any
time by steering slightly in the opposite direc-
tion.
System limits
No lane-correcting brake application will occur in the following situations:
= You clearly and actively steer, brake or accel-
erate.
= If a driving safety system intervenes, such as
ESP n
, Active Brake Assist or Active Blind Spot
Assist.
= You have adopted a sporty driving style with
high cornering speeds or high rates of acceler-
ation.
= When ESP n
is deactivated.
= If a loss of tire pressure or a defective tire is
detected and displayed.
If you deactivate the Active Lane Keeping Assist
warning and the lane markings were not clearly
detected, it is possible that no lane-correcting brake application will take place (  page 209).
The system may be impaired or may not function
particularly in the following situations:
= If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insuPcient
illumination of the road, highly variable shade
conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.
= If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traPc, the
sun or reOections.
= If there is dirt on the windshield in the vicinity
of the multifunction camera or if the camera isfogged up, damaged or obscured.
= If there are no lane markings or several
unclear lane markings are present for one
lane, e.g. around roadworks.
= If the lane markings are worn, dark or cov-
ered.= If the distance to the vehicle in front is too
short and thus the lane markings cannot be detected.
= If the lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes
branch oM, cross one another or merge.
= If the road is very narrow and winding.
= Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: if
the radar sensors in the rear bumper are dirty
or covered in snow and an obstacle is detec-
ted in your lane, no lane-correcting brake
application takes place.

Rear view camera

q Function of the rear view camera
The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings. Responsibility for safe maneuvering and parking
remains with you. Make sure that there are no
persons, animals, objects, etc. in the maneuvering
area while maneuvering and parking.
\bYou can open the cover of the rear view cam- era manually (  page 213).
The guide lines in the media display show the dis-
tances to your vehicle. The distances displayed apply only to road level.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, you can
select from the following views:
= Normal view
= Wide-angle view
The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a mir- ror image, as in the inside rear-view mirror.

multimedia system:Normal view1Yellow guide line, vehicle width (driven sur-
face) depending on the current steering angle

System failure
If the rear view camera is not operational, the fol-
lowing display appears in the multimedia system.

System limits
The rear view camera will not function or will func-
tion only partially in the following situations:
= The tailgate is open.
= There is heavy rain, snow or fog.
= The ambient light is poor, e.g. at night.
= Cameras, or vehicle components in which the
cameras are installed, are damaged, dirty or
covered. Observe the information on vehicle
sensors and cameras (  page 173).
\bDo not use the rear view camera in these
types of situations. You could otherwise injure
others or collide with objects when parking
the vehicle.\bThe contrast of the display may be impaired
by direct sunlight or by other light sources, e.g. when driving out of a garage. In this case,
pay particular attention.210Driving and parking

\bHave the display repaired or replaced if,forexample, pixel errors considerably restrict
its use.
360° camera

q Function of the 360° Camera
The 360° Camera is a system that consists of
four cameras. The cameras cover the immediate
vehicle surroundings. The system assists you when you are parking or at exits with reduced visi-
bility, forexample.
The views of the 360° Camera are always availa-
ble when the vehicle is being driven forwards up
to a speed of approx. 10 mph (16 km/h) and
when it is being backed up.
The 360° Camera is only an aid and may show a
distorted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly
or not show them at all. It is not a substitute for
your attention to the surroundings. Responsibility
for safe maneuvering and parking remains with you. Make sure that there are no persons, animals
or objects etc., in the maneuvering area while
maneuvering and parking.
The system evaluates images from the following cameras:
= Rear view camera
= Front camera
= Two side cameras in the outside mirrors\bYou can open the cover of the rear view cam-
era manually (  page 213).

The color of the individual segments of warning
display 2 is based on the distance to the detec-
ted obstacle:
= Yellow segments: obstacles at a distance

(1.0 m)
= Orange segments: obstacles at a distance
between approx. 1.0 s (0.3 m) and 2.0 s

= Red segments: obstacles at a very short dis-
tance of approx. 1.0 s (0.3 m) or less
When Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is operational
and no object is detected, the segments of the warning display are shown in gray.Guide lines1Yellow lane marking the course that the tires

212Driving and parking

System limits
The 360° Camera will not function or will function
only partially in the following situations:
= The doors are open.
= The outside mirrors are folded in.
= The tailgate is open.
= There is heavy rain, snow or fog.
= The ambient light is poor, e.g. at night.
= Cameras !

parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the maneu- vering area while maneuvering and parking in/
exiting parking spaces.
In the standard setting, an intermittent warning
tone sounds from a distance of approximately 1.0 s (0.3 m) to an obstacle in front and approx-
imately 3.3 s (1.0 m) to an obstacle behind. A
continuous warning tone sounds from a distance
of approximately 0.7 s (0.2 m). Using the Warn
Early All Around setting in the multimedia system,
the warning tones for front and side impact pro-
tection can be set to sound at a greater distance
of approximately 3.3 s (1.0 m) in front and 2.0 s
(0.6 m) on the sides (  page 218).\bThe Warn Early All Around setting is always
active in the rear of the vehicle.Parking Assist PARKTRONIC display in the multi-

If you have not selected the menu Camera &
Parking and an obstacle is detected in the path of
travel, a PARKTRONIC Parking Assist pop-up win-
dow is displayed in the multimedia system at speeds below 6 (10 km/h) mph 1.
The color of the individual segments of the warn- ing display is based on the distance to the detec- ted obstacle:
= Yellow segments: obstacles at a distance
