Lane Keeping Aid*
The lane keeping assistant is one of the func-
tions in the Driver Alert System - sometimes
also referred to as LKA (Lane Keeping Aid).
The lane keeping assistant is intended for use
on motorways and similar major roads to
reduce the risk of the vehicle accidentally
leaving its own lane in certain situations.
A camera reads the painted side lines of the
road/lane. If the car is about to cross a side
line, the Lane Keeping Aid actively steers the
car back into the lane with slight steering tor-
que in the steering wheel.
If the car reaches or passes a side line, the
Lane Keeping Aid warns the driver with puls-
ing vibrations in the steering wheel.
WARNING
LKA is merely a driver's aid and does not
engage in all driving situations or traffic,
weather or road conditions.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely and that applicable laws and road
traffic regulations are followed.

Off & On
The Lane Keeping Aid is active within the
speed interval 65-200 km/h on roads with
clearly visible side lines. The function is tem-
porarily deactivated on narrow roads with
less than 2.6 metres between the lane side
lines.
Press the button in the centre console to acti-
vate or deactivate the function. The function
is switched on if one lamp is illuminated in the
button.
Some combinations of the selected equip-
ment leave no vacant space for an On/Off
button in the centre console - in which case
the function is handled instead by the car's
menu system MY CAR . Here, proceed as fol-
