In very rare cases, the system may make an

inappropriate brake application. An inappro-

priate course-correcting brake application

may be interrupted at any time if you steer

slightly in the opposite direction or acceler-

ate, for example.

The course-correcting brake application is

available in the speed range between 20 mph

(30 km/h) and 120 mph (200 km/h).

Either no braking application, or a course-

correcting brake application adapted to the

driving situation occurs if:

R

there are vehicles or obstacles, e.g. crash

barriers, located on both sides of your vehi-

cle.

R

a vehicle approaches you too closely at the

side.

R

you have adopted a sporty driving style with

high cornering speeds.

R

you clearly brake or accelerate.

R

a driving safety system intervenes, e.g.

ESP

®

or PRE-SAFE

®

Brake.

R

ESP

®

is switched off.

detected.

Active Lane Keeping Assist

General notes

Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area

in front of your vehicle by means of multi-

function camera : at the top of the wind-

shield. Various different areas to the front,

rear and side of your vehicle are also moni-

tored with the aid of the radar sensor system.

Active Lane Keeping Assist detects lane

markings on the road and can warn you

before you leave your lane unintentionally. If

you do not react to the warning, a lane-cor-

recting application of the brakes can bring the

vehicle back into the original lane.

This function is available in the range between

40 mph and 120 mph (60 km/h and

200 km/h).

For Active Lane Keeping Assist to assist you

when driving, the radar sensor system must

be operational

Important safety notes

If you fail to adapt your driving style, Active

Lane Keeping Assist can neither reduce the

risk of accident nor override the laws of phys-

ics. Active Lane Keeping Assist cannot take

account of road and weather conditions. It

may not recognize traffic situations. Active

Lane Keeping Assist is only an aid. You are

responsible for the distance to the vehicle in

front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good

time and for staying in your lane.

Active Lane Keeping Assist cannot continu-

ously keep your vehicle in its lane.
