and the warning lamps in the corresponding out-side mirror Oash red.\bVehicles with ambient lighting: the Warning
Support of the ambient lighting can be activa-
ted and deactivated (  page 147).\bThe warning assistance can diMer depending
on the equipment and may vary according to
the setting.
This exit warning is only available when Blind Spot
Assist is active.
Aser the vehicle is switched oM, the exit warning
continues to function for a few minutes. When the outside mirror warning lamp Oashes three times,
the exit warning is no longer available.
The exit warning is only an aid and not a substi-
tute for the attention of vehicle occupants. The responsibility for opening and closing the doorsand for leaving the vehicle remains with the vehi- cle occupants.
System limits
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist may be limited in the following situations, in particular:
= if there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
are obscured
= in poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
= if there are narrow vehicles, e.g. bicycles or
motorbikes
= if the road has very wide or narrow lanes
= if vehicles are not driving in the middle of their
lane
Warnings may be issued in error when driving
close to crash barriers or similar continuous lane borders. Always make sure that there is suPcient
distance to the side for other traPc or obstacles.
Warnings may be interrupted when driving along-
side long vehicles, for example trucks, for a pro- longed time.
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist are
not operational when reverse gear is engaged.Additionally, the exit warning may be limited in the
following situations:
= when the sensors are covered by adjacent
vehicles in narrow parking spaces
= when people approach the vehicle
= in the event of stationary or slowly moving
objects

q Function of the brake application of Active
Blind Spot Assist\bThe brake application function is available
only for vehicles with a Driving Assistance
Package.
If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a side
impact in the monitoring range, a course-correct- ing brake application is performed. This isdesigned to help you avoid a collision.
The course-correcting brake application is availa- ble in the speed range between approximately20 mph (30 km/h) and 125 mph (200 km/h).
Driving and parking249

&WARNING Risk of accident despite brake
application of Active Blind Spot Assist
A course-correcting brake application cannot
always prevent a collision.
Always steer, brake or accelerate your- self, especially if Active Blind Spot Assist
warns you or makes a course-correcting
brake application.Always maintain a safe distance at the
sides.&WARNING Risk of accident despite Active
Blind Spot Assist
Active Blind Spot Assist does not react in the
following situations:
= If you overtake vehicles at a high speed.
= If vehicles approach and overtake you at a
greatly diMerent speed.
Active Blind Spot Assist may not give warnings or intervene in such situations.
Always pay careful attention to the traPc
situation and maintain a safe distance at
the side of the vehicle.
If a course-correcting brake application occurs, the red warning lamp Oashes in the outside mirror
and a warning tone sounds. In addition, a display 1 indicating the danger of a side collision
appears in the driver\bs display.
In rare cases, the system may make an inappro- priate brake application. This brake application
may be interrupted at any time if you steer slightly
in the opposite direction or accelerate.
System limits
Either a course-correcting brake application
appropriate to the driving situation, or none at all,
may occur especially in the following situations:
= Vehicles or obstacles, e.g. crash barriers, are
located on both sides of your vehicle.
= A vehicle approaches too closely on the side.
= You have adopted a sporty driving style with
high cornering speeds.
= You brake or accelerate signiNcantly.
= A driving safety system intervenes, e.g. ESP n
or Active Brake Assist.
= ESP n
is deactivated.
= A loss of tire pressure or a defective tire is
detected.

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 212) 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 37 mph (60 km/h) and 124 mph (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 a
moving 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\bs 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
markings or only continuous lane markings
(  page 253).
Status displays for Active Lane Keeping AssistïWhite: Active Lane Keeping Assist is deac-
tivated.

ted but not operating.ðGreen: Active Lane Keeping Assist is acti-
vated and operating. If the system is opera-
tional on only one side, the lane marking is shown in green on the corresponding side.Driving and parking251

ðRed: Active Lane Keeping Assist has gui-
ded you back into your lane with a course- correcting steering intervention. The status
display will Oash if there is also a haptic
warning in the steering wheel. The lane
marking is shown in red only on the side
for which there is a warning.
Vehicles without Driving Assistance Pack-
age: if both lane markings are simultane-
ously shown in red in the status display, Active Lane Keeping Assist has initiated an
emergency stop (  page 232).

tance" menu
If the front wheel of the vehicle drives over a
detected lane marking, this will be highlighted red in the Assistance menu in the driver\bs display.\bVehicles with active ambient lighting: if Warn-
ing Support is activated, the Active Lane
Keeping Assist warning is also accompanied
by ambient lighting (  page 147).
System limits
In the following situations, a lane-correcting steer-
ing intervention may not occur but rather a warn-
ing may be given on the steering wheel, depend- ing 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.
= 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.
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, highly variable shade
conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.
= If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traPc, the
sun or reOections.
= If there is dirt on the windshield in the vicinity
of the multifunction camera or if the camera isfogged up, damaged or obscured.
= If there is dirt on the bumper in the area of the
radar sensors, or if they are damaged or cov-
ered.
= 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.252Driving and parking

=If the lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes
branch oM, cross one another or merge.
= If the road is very narrow and winding.
