moderate 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 when driving away from
the center of the lane.
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.
Permanent status display in the driver dis‐
play
Ø Gray: activated and passive
Ø Green: activated and active
Ø Red, flashing: prompt to the driver to
actively confirm or transition from active
to passive status, system limit detected
% During the transition from active to passive
status, the Ø symbol is shown as
enlarged and flashing. Once the system is
passive, the Ø symbol is shown as gray in
the driver display.
Contact detection
The driver is required to keep their hands on the
steering wheel at all times and be able to inter‐
vene at any time to correct the course of the
vehicle and keep it in lane. The driver must
expect a change from active to passive mode or
vice versa at any time.
If the system detects that the driver has not
steered the vehicle for a considerable period of
time or has removed their hands from the steer‐
ing wheel, an optical warning is given first. Dis‐
play message 1 appears in the driver display. If
the driver still does not steer the vehicle, or
gives no confirmation to the system, a warning
tone sounds in addition to the visual warning
message.
If the driver does not react to this warning for a
considerable period, an emergency stop is initi‐
ated (
/
page 233).
The warning is not issued or is stopped as soon
as the system detects that the driver has
touched the steering wheel.
Touch detection may be limited or inoperative in
the following situations:
R
The driver is wearing gloves.
R
There is a steering wheel cover on the steer‐
ing wheel.
If Active Steering Assist detects that a system
limit has been reached, a visual warning is
issued and a warning tone sounds.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nize dangers (
