The system may not detect hands-
off driving due to external
influences like road condition and
surface and weather. The driver
has full responsibility to control the
vehicle and is always required to
keep the hands on the steering
wheel while driving.
Using the system while towing a
trailer or on slippery roads could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
and a crash. Switch the system off.
Advanced lane keep assist
9 Warning
The system assists the driver in
managing the steering,
acceleration and braking within
the limits of the laws of physics
and the capabilities of the vehicle.
Some road infrastructure
elements or vehicles present on
the road may not be properly seen
or may be poorly interpreted by the
camera, which may lead to an
unexpected change in direction, a
lack of steering correction and/or
inappropriate management of the
acceleration or braking.
Advanced lane keep assist is an
enhancement of the lane keep assist
system.
The activated system observes the
lane markings by using the camera
located at the top of the windscreen.
It steers the vehicle inside the
detected lane. The driver will notice a
turning movement of the steering
wheel.
Thus, the current position of the
vehicle within the lane is kept. This
position is not necessarily the centre
of the lane.
In the case that the vehicle is driving
at the outer edge of the lane, the
system corrects the trajectory
smoothly towards the centre of the
currently driven lane when a
determined speed has been
exceeded. Again, the driver will notice
a turning movement of the steering
wheel.
When the vehicle is steered by the
system,

illuminates green in the
Driver Information Centre.
However, the control of the vehicle
can be taken over at any time by the
driver. Therefore, the driver needs to
apply some additional force when
turning the steering wheel.
