does not steer the vehicle, or gives no confirma-
tion to the system, a warning tone sounds in addi-
tion to the visual warning message.
If the driver does not react to this warning for a
considerable period, an emergency stop is initi-
ated (

the system detects that the driver has touched
the steering wheel.
Touch detection may be limited or inoperative in
the following situations:
R
The driver is wearing gloves.
R
There is a steering wheel cover on the steering
wheel.
If Active Steering Assist detects that a system
limit has been reached, a visual warning is issued
and a warning tone sounds.

responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (

page 315).
System limits
Active Steering Assist has a limited steering tor-
que for lateral guidance. In some cases, the steer-
ing intervention is not sufficient to keep the vehi-
cle in the lane.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following instances:
R
There is poor visibility, e.g. due to snow, rain,
fog, heavy spray, greatly varying light condi-
tions or strong shadows on the carriageway.
R
There is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,
direct sunlight or reflections.
R
Insufficient road illumination.
R
The windscreen is dirty, misted up, damaged
or covered in the vicinity of the camera, e.g.
by a sticker.
R
No, or several, unclear lane markings are pres-
ent for one lane, or the markings change
quickly, forexample, in a construction area or
junctions.
R
The lane markings are worn away, dark or cov-
ered up, e.g. by dirt or snow.
R
If the distance to the vehicle in front is too
short and thus the lane markings cannot be
detected.
R
The road is narrow and winding.
R
There are obstacles on the lane or projecting
out into the lane, suchas object markers.
R
if transport equipment, forexample a trailer or
bicycle rack, is attached to the trailer hitch
and the electrical connection has been cor-
rectly established
The system does not provide assistance in the fol-
lowing conditions:
R
On very tight bends and when turning.
R
When crossing junctions.
R
At roundabouts or toll stations.
R
When actively changing lane without switching
on the turn signal indicator.
R
When the tyre pressure is too low.

WARNING Risk of accident if Active Steer-
ing Assist unexpectedly stops functioning
If the system limits of Active Steering Assist

system will remain active or will keep the vehi-
cle in lane.
