Active Steering Assist
Function of Active Steering Assist
% Active Steering Assist is country-dependent
and only available for vehicles with the Driv‐
ing Assistance Package.
Active Steering Assist is operational at speeds
up to 130 mph (210 km/h) and helps you to stay
in the center of the lane by means of moderate
steering interventions. It uses the vehicle in front
and the lane markings as a reference depending
on the driven speed.
When the system is actively steering, the
è
symbol is shown in green in the multifunction
display.
If the detection of lane markings and vehicles
ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist
switches to passive mode. The system provides
no support in this case. During the transition
from active to passive status, the è symbol is
shown as enlarged and flashes yellow. Once the
system is passive, the è symbol is shown as
gray in the multifunction display.
Steering and touch detection
The driver is required to keep their hands on the
steering wheel at all times and be able to inter‐
vene at any time to correct the course of the
vehicle and keep it in lane. The driver must
expect a change from active to passive mode or
vice versa at any time.
If the system reaches a system limitation or the
driver has not steered the vehicle for a consider‐
able period of time or has removed their hands
from the steering wheel, the system will,
depending on the situation, alert the driver
either with a visual warning or a visual and
acoustic warning. Display 1 appears in the mul‐
tifunction display.
