WARNING Risk of accident despite brake
application of Active Blind Spot Assist
A course-correcting brake application cannot
always prevent a collision.
#
Always steer, brake or accelerate your-
self, especially if Active Blind Spot Assist
warns you or makes a course-correcting
brake application.
#
Always maintain a safe distance at the
sides.
If a course-correcting brake application occurs,
the red warning lamp flashes in the outside mirror
and a warning tone sounds. In addition, a display
1
indicating the danger of a side collision
appears in the driver's display.
In rare cases, the system may make an inappro-
priate brake application. This brake application
may be interrupted at any time if you steer slightly
in the opposite direction or accelerate.
System limits

appropriate to the driving situation, or none at all,

Active Lane Keeping Assist
▌ Function of Active Lane Keeping Assist
Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in
front of your vehicle by means of the multifunction
camera (
/
page 253) and can warn you before
you leave your lane unintentionally. The system
can guide you back into your lane through a
course-correcting steering intervention and addi-
tionally warns you with vibration pulses in the
steering wheel. Active Lane Keeping Assist is
available in the speed range between 37 mph
(60 km/h) and 124 mph (200 km/h).
