Warning!
The Blind Spot Assist is not active at speeds

It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to
be attentive to road, weather and traffic
conditions and to provide the steering,
braking and other driving inputs necessary to
retain control of the vehicle. Failure to do so
could result in recognizing dangers too late,
possibly resulting in an accident and serious
injury to yourself and others.

range and you activate the turn signal, a two-
tone warning will sound once. Red warning
lamp

vehicle will flash.

The Lane Keeping Assist supports you at a
vehicle speed of above 40 mph when you
have set the display unit to

the control system (
Y
page 141). When you
have set the display unit to
km
, the system
supports you at a vehicle speed of above
60 km/h. When the Lane Keeping Assist
detects lane markings, the system is
designed to alert you in case you leave your
lane unintentionally. A warning is usually
issued when a front wheel is on the lane
marking. An interval vibration in the steering
wheel that lasts for up to 1.5 seconds will
then alert you.
The Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in
front of your vehicle via camera
:
.
The system can distinguish various
conditions in order to alert you early enough
and to avoid unnecessary warnings when
crossing lane markings.
The warning is issued sooner when
R
cutting a curve on the outside of the turn
R
driving on very wide lanes such as highway
lanes
R
the system recognizes dividing lines
because crossing them is often crucial due
to soft shoulders or guardrails behind for
