Assistance when changing lanes is provided if all
the following conditions are met:
R
You are driving on a motorway or road with
multiple lanes in the direction of travel.
R
The neighbouring lane is separated by a bro‐
ken lane marking.
R
No vehicle is detected in the adjacent lane.
R
The driven speed is between 80 km/h and
180 km/h.
R
Active Lane Change Assist is activated by the
driver with the turn signal indicator.
R
Active Lane Change Assist is switched on in
the multimedia system.
R
Active Steering Assist is switched on and
active.
If no vehicle is detected in the adjacent lane and
a lane change is permitted, the steering wheel
symbol and the arrow are shown in green 2 .
The Lane change to the left message appears,
for example. If Active Lane Change Assist has
been activated with the turn signal indicator but
a lane change is not immediately possible, the
steering wheel symbol remains green and the
arrow appears grey 1 . When the lane change
support starts, the turn signal indicator is auto‐
matically activated. If a lane change is not possi‐
ble, the arrow fades out after a short period and
a new lane change must be initiated. An immedi‐
ate lane change is only possible on motorway
sections without speed limits.
If the system is impaired, Active Lane Change
Assist may be cancelled. If it is cancelled the
Lane change cancelled message appears in the
multifunction display and a warning tone sounds.
& WARNING Risk of accident from chang‐
ing lane to an occupied adjacent lane
Lane Change Assist cannot always detect
clearly if the adjacent lane is free.
The lane change might be initiated although
the adjacent lane is not free.
#
Before changing lanes, make sure that
the neighbouring lane is free and there
is no danger to other road users.
#
Monitor the lane change.
&
WARNING Risk of accident if Lane
Change Assist unexpectedly stops func‐
tioning
If the system limitations for Lane Change
Assist have been reached, there is no guar‐
antee that the system will remain active.
