On the instrument cluster screen:
indications of the lane assist system.
Yellow line: Lane line detected. The system
intervenes assisting on the represented
side.
White line: Lane line detected. The system
does not intervene.
Depending on the equipment, additional de-
tails of the lane marking line currently detec-
ted by the camera, e.g. dashed road markings,
can also be displayed on the instrument cluster
screen.
Depending on the equipment, there is
also an indication on the Head-up-Display

Switching the lane assist system on or off
In some countries, the Lane Assist System is
always activated when the ignition is switched
on. The connection status is shown in the
As-
sistants
menu of the Infotainment system or
the assistant systems menu after pressing the
corresponding button. The Lane Assist system
can be activated and deactivated in these me-
nus.
When Travel Assist is turned on, Lane Assist is
also turned on.
The Lane Assist system is ready to actively in-
tervene as of approximately 60 km/h (35 mph)
and if it has detected the lane limits (system
status: active).
If the control lamp of the instrument panel dis-
play is off, it means that the Lane Assist system
is connected but not ready to intervene or it is
disconnected.
When you activate a turn signal, the system
temporarily goes into a passive state in order to
allow manual lane change.
