When
aparking space has been detected, an
arrow towards the right or the left also
appears. By default, Active Parking Assist
only displays parking spaces on the front-
passenger side. Parking spaces on the
driver's side are displayed as soon as the turn
signal on the driver's side is activated. When
parking on the driver's side, this must remain
switched on until you acknowledge the use of
Active Parking Assist by pressing the 000C
button on the multifunction steering wheel.
i Take note that Active Parking Assist
cannot measure the size of parking spaces
that are at right angles to the direction of

WARNING
Lane Keeping Assist may not always clearly
recognizel ane markings. In this case, Lane Keeping Assist may:
R
give an unnecessary warning
R not give awarning
There is arisk of an accident.
Always pay particular attention to the traffic
situation and stay in lane, in particular if
warned by Lane Keeping Assist. G
WARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist warning does not
return the vehicle to the original lane. There
is ar isk of an accident.
You should always steer, brake or accelerate
yourself, in particular if warned by Lane
Keeping Assist.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Lane
Keeping Assist can neither reduce the risk of
an accident nor override the laws of physics.
Lane Keeping Assist cannot take into account
the road, traffic and weather conditions. Lane
Keeping Assist is merely an aid. You are
responsible for the distance to the vehicle in
front,f or vehicle speed, for braking in good
time and for staying in your lane.
The Lane Keeping Assist does not keep the
vehicle in the lane.
The system may be impaired or may not
function if:
R there is poor visibility, e.g. due to
insufficient illumination of the road, or due
to snow, rain, fog or spray
R there is glare, e.g. from oncomingt raffic,
the sun or reflections (e.g. when the road
surface is wet)
R the windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged
or covered, for instancebyas ticker, in the
vicinity of the camera
R there are no, several or unclear lane
markings for alane, e.g. in areas with road
construction work
R the lane markings are worn away,d ark or
covered up, e.g. by dirt or snow Driving systems

R there are strong shadows cast on the lane
General notes Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in
front of yourv ehicle with camera 001A,which is
mounted at the top of the windshield. Lane
Keeping Assist detects lane markings on the
road and warns you before you leave your
lane unintentionally.
If you have chosen the function DisplayUnit Speed-/Odometer: (Y

Active Blind Spot Assist Genera
lnotes
Active Blind Spot Assis tuses aradar sensor
system, pointed toward the rear of the
vehicle, to monitor the area to the sides of the
vehicle which the driver is unable to see. A
warning displayint he exterior mirrors draws
your attention to vehicles detected in the
monitored area. If you then switch on the
corresponding turn signal to change lane, you
will also receive an optical and audible
warning. If arisk of lateral collision is
detected, corrective braking may help you
avoid acollision. Before acourse-correcting
brake application, Active Blind Spot Assist
evaluates the space in the direction of travel
and at the sides of the vehicle. For this, Active
Blind Spot Assist uses radar sensors which
are pointed in the direction of travel.
Active Blind Spot Assist supports you from a
speed of approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
For Active Blind Spot Assist to assist you
when driving, the radar sensor system must
be:
R activated(Y page 232)
R operational
Important safety notes
Active Blind Spot Assist is only an aid and is
not asubstitute for attentive driving. G
WARNING
Active Blind Spot Assist does not react to:
R vehicles overtaken too closely on the side,
placing them in the blind spot area
R vehicles which approach with alarge speed
differential and overtak eyour vehicle As
aresult, Active Blind Spot Assist may
neither give warnings nor intervene in such
situations. There is arisk of an accident.
Always observe the traffic conditions
carefully, and maintain asafe lateral distance.

Visual and acoustic collision warning
If you switch on the turn signals to change
lanes and avehicle is detected in the side
monitoring range, you receive avisual and
acoustic collision warning. You then hear a
double warning tonea nd red warning
lamp 001Aflashes. If the turn signal remains on,
detected vehicles are indicated by the
flashing of red warning lamp 001A.There are no
further warning tones.
Course-correcting brake application G
WARNING
Ac ourse-correctingb rake application cannot
alwaysp reventacollision. There is arisk of
an accident.
Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself,
especially if Active Blind Spot Assist warns
you or makes acourse-correcting brake
application. Always maintain asafe distance
at the sides. If Active Blind Spot Assist detect
sarisk of a
lateral collision in the monitoring range, a course-correcting brake application is carried
out. This is meant to assist you in avoiding a
collision.
If
ac ourse-correcting brake application
occurs, red warning lamp 001Aflashes in the
exterior mirror and adual warning tone
sounds. In addition, the display shown in the
lower image appears in the multifunction
display.
In very rare cases, the system may make an
inappropriate brake application. An
inappropriate course-correcting brake
application may be interrupted at any time if
you steer slightly in the opposite direction or
accelerate, for example.
The course-correcting brake application is
available in the speed range between
20 mph (30 km/h) and 120 mph (200 km/h).
Either no braking application, or acourse-
correcting brake application adapted to the
driving situation occurs if:
R there are vehicles or obstacles, e.g. crash
barriers, located on both sides of your
vehicle.
R av ehicle approaches you too closely at the
side.
R you have adopted asporty driving style with
high cornering speeds.
R you clearly brake or accelerate.

by means of intermittent vibration in the
steering wheel for up to 1.5 seconds.
Lane-correcting brake application G
WARNING
Al ane-correcting brake application cannot
always bring the vehicle back into the original
lane. There is arisk of an accident.
Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself,
especially if Active Lane Keeping Assist warns
you or makes alane-correcting brake
application. G
WARNING
Active Lane Keeping Assist does not detect
traffic conditionsorr oad users. In very rare
cases, the system may make an inappropriate
brake application, e.g. after intentionally
driving over asolid lane marking. There is a
risk of an accident.
An inappropriate brake application may be
interrupted at any time if you steer slightly in
the opposite direction. Always make sure that
there is sufficient distance on the side for
other traffic or obstacles. If you leave your lane, under certain
circumstances the vehicle will brake briefly
on one side. This is meant to assist you in
bringing the vehicle back to the original lane.
If al ane-correcting brake application occurs,
display 001Aappears in the multifunction
display.
This function is available in the range between
40 mph and 120 mph (60 km/h and
200 km/h).
Al ane-correcting brake application can only
be made after driving over asolid,
recognizable lane marking. Before this, a
warning must be given by means of
intermittent vibration in the steering wheel.
In addition, alane with lane markings on both
sides must be recognized. The brake
application also slightly reduces vehicle
speed.
i Afurther lane-correcting brake
application can only occur after your
vehicle has returned to the original lane.
No lane-correcting brake application occurs
if:
