Active Lane Keeping Assist

qFunction of Active Lane Keeping Assist
Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in front of your vehicle by means of the multifunctioncamera (  page 189) 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 60 km/h and 200 km/h.
The system can intervene in the following situa-
tions:
= Active Lane Keeping Assist detects a lane
marking.
= One of your front wheels goes over a lane
marking.
If you activate the turn signal indicator, a steering
intervention does not occur on the corresponding
side.
If you leave the lane without activating the turn signal indicator, but danger of a collision with amoving obstacle is detected in your lane, a steer-ing intervention does not occur.
Vehicles with Blind Spot Assist or Driving Assis-
tance Package: if the system detects an obstacle,
such as another vehicle in the adjacent lane, a steering intervention will occur regardless of the
turn signal indicator.
Display 1 will appear in the driver display and a
warning tone will sound in the following situations:
=
A steering intervention by Active Lane Keeping
Assist lasts longer than approximately ten sec-
onds.
= The system carries out two or more steering
interventions within approximately three
minutes without any steering intervention from the driver.
In the Active Lane Keeping Assist settings, you can set the sensitivity of the system and set thelevel of support. Additionally, you can set whether
the system should react to discontinuous lane

System limits
In the following situations, no lane-correcting
steering intervention occurs but rather a warning
in the steering wheel, depending on the situation:
= You clearly and actively steer, brake or accel-
erate.
= If a driving safety system intervenes, such as
ESP n
, Active Brake Assist or Active Blind Spot
Assist.
= You have adopted a sporty driving style with
high cornering speeds or high rates of acceler-
ation.
= When ESP n
is deactivated.
= If transport equipment, for example a trailer or
bicycle rack, is attached to the trailer hitch and the electrical connection has been cor-
rectly established.
= If a loss of tyre pressure or a defective tyre
has been detected and displayed.230Driving and parking

The system may be impaired or may not function
particularly in the following situations:
= If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insuPcient
illumination of the road, if there are highly vari-
able shade conditions or in rain, snow, fog or
heavy spray.
= If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traPc, the
sun or reOections.
= If the windscreen in the area of the multifunc-
tion camera is dirty, or if the camera is misted
up, damaged or covered.
= If there are no lane markings, or several
unclear lane markings are present for one
lane, e.g. around roadworks.
= If the lane markings are worn, dark or cov-
ered.
= If the distance to the vehicle in front is too
short and thus the lane markings cannot be detected.
= If the lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes
branch oM, cross one another or merge.
= If the carriageway is very narrow and winding.Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (  page 189).

Reversing camera

qFunction of the reversing camera
The reversing camera monitors the area behind
your vehicle. If this function is activated
(  page 241), the image from the reversing cam-
era is automatically displayed in the central dis-
play when reverse gear is selected.
The reversing camera is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and park-
ing remains with you. Make sure that there are no persons, animals or objects etc., in the manoeu-vring area while manoeuvring and parking.
%The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a
mirror image, as in the inside rearview mirror.
Vehicles without Parking Package
The following camera views are available in the
multimedia system:

Pedestrian braking function
%This function is only available in vehicles with-out the Parking Package. Vehicles with theParking Package are equipped with manoeu-vring assistant functions (  page 251).
The pedestrian braking function can prevent colli-
sions with pedestrians when the vehicle is revers- ing at slow speeds. If the reversing camera
detects a person in the vehicle path, the vehicle
can be braked to a standstill.
The pedestrian braking function can intervene
under the following conditions:
= The vehicle is reversing at a speed below
15 km/h.
= The camera image is shown in the central dis-
play.
The function is automatically active when the reversing camera is switched on and cannot be
deactivated separately (  page 241).
If automatic braking is triggered, the following
symbol appears in red in the camera image:

%If the function is not available, the same sym-
bol appears in grey.
The pedestrian braking function is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attention to the surround- ings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no per-
sons, animals or objects etc. are in the manoeu- vring range.
&WARNING Risk of accident caused by limi-
ted detection of the pedestrian braking
function
The pedestrian braking function cannot always
clearly detect people. Other obstacles are not
detected by the function.
In these cases, the function may brake unnec-
essarily or not brake at all.
Always pay careful attention to the traPc
situation; do not rely on the pedestrian
braking function alone.Be ready to brake.Driving and parking233

In the following situations, the pedestrian braking
function is not available:
= on inclines
= if transport equipment, for example a trailer or
bicycle rack, is attached to the trailer hitch
and the electrical connection has been cor-
rectly established
= if the reversing camera is not operational%Please also note the system limits of the
reversing camera at the end of the section.Vehicles with Parking PackageCamera views menu in the 9.5'' driver display

System limits
If the system is not ready for operation, the Sys-
tem inoperative message appears in the central
display.
The reversing camera will not function or will only partially function in the following situations:
= You are driving forwards at a speed greater
than approximately 16 km/h.
= The tailgate is open.
= The weather conditions are poor, e.g. heavy
rain, snow, fog, storm or spray.
= The light conditions are poor, e.g. at night or if
light is shining into the camera.
= The camera lens is obstructed, dirty or misted
up. Observe the notes on cleaning the revers- ing camera (  page 324).
= The camera or rear of your vehicle is dam-
aged. In this case, have the camera and its
position and setting checked at a qualiNed
specialist workshop.
= The detection range is limited by additional
vehicle attachments at the rear, such as a license plate bracket or bicycle rack.Also observe the information on vehicle sensors
and cameras (  page 189).%Do not use the reversing camera in these
types of situations. You could otherwise injure
others or collide with objects when parking
the vehicle.%The contrast of the display may be impaired
by direct sunlight or by other light sources, e.g. when driving out of a garage. In this case,
pay particular attention.%Have the display repaired or replaced if, for
example, pixel errors considerably restrict its
use.
360° Camera

q Function of the 360° Camera
The 360° Camera is a system that consists of
four cameras which cover the immediate sur-
roundings of the vehicle. The cameras assist you
when you are parking, for example, or at exits with
reduced visibility.
If the function is activated, the image from the reversing camera is automatically displayed in the
central display when reverse gear is selected
(  page 241).
The 360° Camera includes the following cameras
and evaluates their images:
= Reversing camera
= Front camera
= Two side cameras in the outside mirrors
The cameras are only an aid and may show a dis-
torted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly or
not show them at all. They are not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsi-bility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains
with you. Make sure that there are no persons,
animals or objects etc., in the manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and parking.236Driving and parking
