Active Steering Assist
Function of Active Steering Assist
% The following function is country-dependent
and only available in conjunction with the
Driving Assistance Package.
Active Steering Assist is only available up to a
speed of 210 km/h. The system helps you to
stay in the centre of the lane by means of mod‐
erate steering interventions. Depending on the
speed driven, Active Steering Assist uses the
vehicles ahead and lane markings as a refer‐
ence.
% Depending on the country, in the lower
speed range Active Steering Assist can use
the surrounding traffic as a reference. If nec‐
essary, Active Steering Assist can then also
provide assistance with a driving style out‐
side the centre of the lane.
When the system is actively steering, the à
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 à symbol is
shown as enlarged and flashing. Once the sys‐
tem is passive, the à symbol is shown as
grey in the multifunction display.
