cle occupants. System limits
Blind Spo

t 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 lorries, for a pro-
longed time.
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist are
not operational when reverse gear is engaged. Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist are
no
t operational if transport equipment, for exam-
ple a trailer or bicycle rack, is attached to the
trailer hitch and the electrical connection has
been correctly established.
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

qFunction of the brake application of Active
Blind Spot Assist
% The brake application function is only availa-
ble f

or vehicles with a Driving Assistance
Package.
If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a side
im
pact in the monitoring range, a course-correct-
ing brake application is carried out. This is
designed to help you avoid a collision. 278
Driving and parking

The course-correcting brake application is availa-
ble in t he speed range between approximately
30 km/h and approximately 200 km/h. &
WARNING Risk of accident despit
e brake
application of Active Blind Spot Assist
A course-correcting brake application cannot
alw
ays prevent a collision. 
Always steer, brake or accelerate your-
self, especiall
y if Active Blind Spot Assist
warns you or makes a course-correcting
brake application. 
Always maintain a safe distance at the
sides. If a course-correcting brake application occurs,
t
he 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's 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 tyr e pressure or a defective tyre is
detected.
= Transport equipment, for example a trailer or
bicycle rack, is attached to the trailer hitch
and the electrical connection has been cor-
rectly established.

qF
unction of Active Lane Keeping Assist
Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in
front of your vehicle by means of the multifunction
camera (  page 237) 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 Driving and parking
279

steering wheel. Active Lane Keeping Assist is
a vailable 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 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. In the following situations (country-dependent),
A
ctive Lane Keeping Assist may already react
from a speed of approximately 45 km/h:
= If your own vehicle is overtaken by another
road user and the danger of a collision is
detected, a lane-correcting steering interven-
tion occurs
= If you drive over a detected lane marking, the
system warns you with vibration pulses in the
steering wheel. Display
1 will appear in t he driver's 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 the
level of support. Additionally, you can set whether
the system should react to discontinuous lane
markings or only continuous lane markings
( page 282).
If ATTENTION ASSIST has detected indications of
fatigue or a microsleep, the most sensitive setting
is automatically selected ( page 244).

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 dr
iving 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 windscreen in the vicinity
of the multifunction camera or if the camera is
misted 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. Driving and parking

=
If t here 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 237).
