System limits
Safety note
WARNING
The system may not respond at all, or may re‐
spond too late, incorrectly or without justifica‐
tion due to limits of the system. There is a dan‐
ger of accidents or damage to property.
Observe the information on the system limits
and intervene actively if necessary.
Functional limitations
The system may have limited functionality in the
following situations, for example:
▷ In thick fog, wet conditions or snow.
▷ When there are missing, worn, poorly visible,
merging/separating or ambiguous lane mark‐
ings; for example, in areas where there are
roadworks.
▷ If lane markings are covered by snow, ice, dirt
or water.
▷ On sharp bends or narrow roads.
▷ If lane markings are not white.
▷ If lane markings are obscured by objects.
▷ If the vehicle is too close to the vehicle ahead.
▷ When there is sustained glare due to oncom‐
ing light, for example the sun is low in the sky.
▷ If the field of view of the camera or the wind‐
screen in front of the rear-view mirror is soiled
or covered.
▷ If the camera has overheated due to exces‐
sively high temperatures and has been tem‐
porarily deactivated.
▷ Up to 10 seconds after starting the engine
using the start/stop button.
▷ During the camera calibration process imme‐
diately after vehicle delivery.
A Check Control message may be displayed in
the event of limited functionality.
Lane Change Warning
Principle
The Lane Change Warning detects vehicles in
the blind spot, or if vehicles are approaching from
behind in the adjacent lane. A warning is issued
in various gradations in these situations.
General
From a minimum speed, two radar sensors in the
rear bumper monitor the area behind and next to
the vehicle.
The minimum speed is shown in the menu for
the Intelligent Safety Systems.
The system indicates when vehicles are in the
blind spot, arrow 1, or are approaching from the
rear in an adjacent lane, arrow 2.
The light in the exterior mirror illuminates at a
dimmed level.
Before changing lanes with the turn indicator
switched on, the system issues a warning in the
above situations.
The light in the exterior mirror flashes and the
steering wheel vibrates.
Vehicles with side collision warning: at speeds of
up to 210 km/h, approx. 130 mph, the system
can respond with a brief active steering interven‐
tion and thus help to return the vehicle to its lane.
The steering intervention is carried out above a
minimum speed. This minimum speed is shown
on the Control Display in the steering interven‐
tion menu, see page
200 .
