youto stay inthe center of the lane by
means of moderate steering inter ventions.
RIt uses theve hicle in front and the lane mark‐
ings as a refere nce depending on the driven
speed.
RAc tive Steering Assist requ ires you, as the
driver, tokeep your hands onthesteering
wheel at all times so that you are ableto
inter vene at any time tocor rect the course of
th eve hicle and keep it in lane.
RAc tive Steering Assist can be overridden at
any time bysteering theve hicle yourself.
RWhen the sy stem is actively steering, the

function displa y.
Sy stem limitations of Active Steering Assist
Ac tive Steering Assist has a limited steering tor‐
qu efo r lateral guidance. In some cases, the
st eering inter vention is not suff icienttokeep the
ve hicle in the lane.
If th e de tection of lane markings and vehicles
ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist
switches topassive mode. The sy stem pr ovides
no support in this case. During the transition from
the active topassive status, theè sym‐
bol is shown as enlar ged and flashes yello w.
Once the sy stem is passive theè symbol is
gr ay ed out in the multifunction displa y.
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in the
fo llowin
g ins tances:
RIfth ere is poor visibility, e.g. due toinsuf fi‐
cient illumination of thero ad, or due tosno w,
ra in, fog or heavy spr ay.
RIfth ere is glare, e.g. from oncoming traf fic,
dire ct sunlight or reflection from other vehi‐
cles (e.g. if the car riag ewa yis we t).
RIfth e windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged
or co vered, for ins tance byast icke r,in the
vicinity of the camera.
RIf no, or se veral, unclear lane markings are
present for one lane, e.g. in a construction
area.
RIf th e lane markings are wornaw ay, dark or
co vered up, e.g. bydirt or sno w.
RThe distance totheve hicle in front is too
small and the lane markings thus cannot be
de tected.
RIfth e lane markings change quickl y,e.g.
lanes branch off, cross one ano ther or
mer ge.
RThe car riag ewa yis nar rowand winding.
RIfth ere are highly variable shade conditions
on the car riag ewa y.
RIfth ere are obs tacles such as object mar kers
on the lane or projecting out into the lane.
The sy stem does not pr ovide assis tance in the
fo llowing conditions:
ROn very sharp bends.
RWhen towing a trailer.

Fu nction of Active Lane Change Assi st
Ac tive Steering Assist is only an aid. You are
re sponsible forth e dis tance totheve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed, for braking in good time
and forst ay ing in your lane. Before changing lanes, make sure
that the neighboring lane is
free (shoulder view).
00CE The availability of thefo llowing function is
countr y-dependent.
Ac tive Steering Assist remains active even if the
turn signal indica tor is switched on. Active Steer‐
ing Assist then assists the driver when changing
lanes byapplying steering torques toinitiate the
lane change.
Assis tance when changing lanes is pr ovided if all
th efo llowing conditions are me t:
RYou are driving on a mo torw ay or high-speed
multi-lane major road with multiple lanes in
th e direction of tr avel.
RThe neighboring lane is free and separated
bya broken lane marking.
RThe driven speed is between 50 mph
(80 km/h) and 110mp h(1 80 km/h).
RThe turn signal indicator is switched on for
longer than two seconds.
If th e sy stem is impaired, Active Lane Change
Assi stmay be canceled. If an inter ruption
occurs, display 1appears in the multifunction display along with a

Function of Blind Spot Assist and Active
Blind Spot Assi st
Blind Spot Assist uses two lateral,rear-facing
ra dar sensors tomonitor the area up to130ft
(40 m) behind your vehicle and 10ft(3 m)
directly next to yourvehicle.
If a vehicle is de tected at speeds ab ove appr ox‐
imately 8 mph (12 km/h) and this vehicle subse‐
qu ent lyenters the monitoring range di rectly next
to yo urvehicle, thewa rning lamp in the outside
mir ror lights up red.
If a vehicle is de tected close to yourvehicle in
th e lateral monitoring range and youswit chon
th e turn signal indicator in the cor responding
direction, a warning tone sounds once. The red
wa rning lamp in the outside mir rorflashes. If the
turn signal indica torre mains on, all other de tec‐
te dve hicles are indicated only bytheflashing of
th ere dwa rning lamp.
If yo uove rtake a vehicle quickl y,no warning is
given.
0071 WARNING Risk of accident despite Blind
Spot Assist
Blind Spot Assist does notreact tovehicles
approaching and overtaking you at a greatly
di fferent speed.
As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in this situation.
00BBAlw ays pay careful attention tothe traf‐
fi c situation and maintain a safe dis‐
ta nce at the side of theve hicle.
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assi st
are only aids. They may failto detect some vehi‐
cles and are no substitute for attentive driving.
Alw ays ensure that there is suf ficient dist anceto
th e side forot her road users and obs tacles.
Sy stem limitations
The sy stem may be limited in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
Rth e sensors are dirty or co vered
Rpoor visibility, e.g. due tofog, heavy rain,
snow or spr ay
Rnarrow vehicles, e.g. bicycles, are within the
monitoring range
Wa rnings may be issued in er ror when driving
close tocrash barr iers or similar solid lane bor‐
ders. Warnings may be inter rupte d when driving
alongside long vehicles, e.g. truc ks,fo r a pro‐
longed time.
Blind Spot Assist is not operational when reve rse
ge ar is engaged.
Fu nction of braking applications (Active
Blind Spot Assist)
If Ac tive Blind Spot Assi stdetects a risk of a side
impact in the monitoring range, a cours e-cor‐
re cting brake application is car ried out. This is
designed tohelp youav oid a collision.
The course-cor recting brake application is availa‐
ble in the speed range between appr oximately
20 mph (30 km/h) and 125mp h (200 km/h).
