Lane-correcting brake application

G

WARNING

A lane-correcting brake application cannot

always bring the vehicle back into the original

lane. There is a risk of an accident.

Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself,

especially if Active Lane Keeping Assist warns

you or makes a lane-correcting brake

application.

WARNING

Active Lane Keeping Assist only detects

traffic conditions or road users to a limited

extent. In very rare cases, the system may

make an inappropriate brake application, e.g.

after intentionally driving over a solid lane

marking. There is a risk of an accident.

An inappropriate brake application may be

interrupted at any time if you steer slightly in

the opposite direction. Always make sure that

there is sufficient distance on the side for

other traffic or obstacles.

If you leave your lane, under certain

circumstances the vehicle will brake briefly

on one side. This is meant to assist you in

bringing the vehicle back to the original lane.

If a lane-correcting brake application occurs,

display : appears in the multifunction

display.

A lane-correcting brake application can be

made after driving over a lane marking

recognize as being solid or broken. Before

this, a warning must be given by means of

intermittent vibration in the steering wheel.

In addition, a lane with lane markings on both

sides must be recognized.

In the case of a broken lane marking being

detected, a lane-correcting brake application

can only be made if a vehicle has been

detected in the adjacent lane. The following

vehicles can have an influence on brake

application: oncoming traffic, vehicles that

are overtaking and vehicles that are driving

parallel to your vehicle.
