Operation
Self-deactivation: the Lane As s
i st system can
be automatically deactivated if there is a sys-
tem malfunction. The control lamp
disappears.
Hands-Off Function
In the absence of steering wheel activity the
system alerts the driver with acoustic signals
and a text message on the dash panel asking
to actively take over the steering.
If the driver does not react to this, the system
also alerts the driver with a little shaking mo-
tion through the brakes and, if the vehicle
has it, activates the Emergency Assist func-
tion ››› page 234.
In vehicles without Emergency Assist, the
adaptive lane guidance function will be disa-
bled after the corresponding warnings to the
driver.
The lane assist system is active but it is not
available (the control lamp is lit up yellow)
● When driving at speeds below 65 km/h (38
mph).
● When the Lane Assist system does not de-
tect the div
iding lines of the road. For exam-
ple, in the event warnings indicating road
works, and snow, dirt, moisture or reflec-
tions.
● When the radius of a curve is too small.
● When no road markings can be seen. ●
When the dist
ance to the next marking to
too great.
● When the system does not detect any clear
and active st
eering movement during a long
period of time.
● Temporarily, in the event of very dynamic
driving s
tyles.
● If a turn signal is activated.
● With the stability control system (ESC) in
Sport
mode or switched off.
BSD Plus (Lane Assist with Blind Spot Detec-
tor)*
The BSD Plus function is achieved by activat-
ing the Lane Assist and BSD functions
››› page 237. In this case, the Lane Assist
function expands its functions in the follow-
ing way:
If the driver tries to change lane and there is
a vehicle in the blind spot:
● The  lamp flashes in the corresponding
re

ar-view mirror even though the turn signal
has not been activated.
● The steering wheel vibrates to warn the
driver of the ri
sk of collision.
● torque is applied to correct the steering
and return the
vehicle to its lane. Switching off the Lane Assist system in the
fol

lowing situations
Due to the limits of the Lane Assist system,
switch it off in the following situations:
● When more attention is required of the
driver
● When drivin

g in a sporty style
● In unfavourable weather conditions
● On roads in poor condition
● In areas of road works WARNING
The intelligent technology in the Lane Assist
sys t

em cannot change the limits imposed by
the laws of physics and by the very nature of
the system. Careless or uncontrolled use of
the Lane Assist system may cause accidents
and injury. The system is not a replacement
for driver awareness.
● Always adapt your speed and the distance
to the v
ehicles ahead in line with visibility,
weather conditions, the condition of the road
and the traffic situation.
● Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel so it c
an be turned at any time.
● The Lane Assist system does not detect all
roa
d markings. The road surfaces, road struc-
tures or objects in poor condition can be in-
correctly detected as road markings under
certain circumstances by the Lane Assist sys-
tem. In such situations, switch the Lane As-
sist system off immediately. 232

● When the area of vision of the camera be-
comes
dirty, covered or is damaged, the Lane
Assist system function can be affected. CAUTION
In order to avoid influencing the operation of
the sy st

em, the following points must be tak-
en into account:
● Regularly clean the area of vision of the
camera and k
eep it in a clean state, without
snow or ice.
● Do not cover the area of vision of the cam-
era.
● Check

that the area of vision of the wind-
scr
een camera is not damaged. Note
● The lane dep ar

ture warning system has
been exclusively developed for driving on
paved roads only.
● If the Lane Assist system does not work as
desc
ribed in this chapter, do not use it and
contact a specialised workshop.
● Before starting a journey, verify that the
field of
vision of the camera is not covered
››› Fig. 202. ●
Alw a

ys keep the field of vision of the cam-
era clean.
● If there is a fault in the system, have it
check
ed by a specialised workshop. Traffic Jam Assist

ed video Fig. 205
Autonomous
drivin g Description and operation
Traffic Jam Assist helps the driver keep the
c
ar w
ithin its

lane and to move in convoy in
case of traffic congestion or slow traffic.
Traffic Jam Assist is an additional function of
Lane Assist ››› page 230 and combines Lane
Assist functions with Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) ›››
page 221. Therefore, it is essential
that you read these two chapters carefully
and note the limitations of the systems and
the information about them. Operation of Traffic Jam Assist
At speed

s of below 60 km/h (40 mph), Traffic
Jam Assist can maintain a (temporary) dis-
tance preset by the driver with respect to the
vehicle ahead and help stay within the lane
››› .
T o do thi
s, the sy

stem automatically controls
the accelerator, brakes and steering, and
slows the vehicle, stopping it fully if neces-
sary, when faced with a vehicle in front that
has stopped. It automatically moves off again
when the vehicle ahead moves.
Traffic Jam Assist is designed only for use on
motorways and wide roads. Therefore, never
use it in city traffic.

Situations in which Traffic Jam Assist must
be switched off
Due to the limitations of the system, Traffic
Jam Assist must always be switched off in the
following situations:
● When more attention is required by the
driver.
● When driv

ing in a very sporty style.
● In adverse weather conditions, e.g. in case
of sno
w or heavy rain.
● When driving on roads in poor condition.
● In sections with roadworks.
● In city journeys. WARNING

ics; it only works within the limits of the sys- tem. Accidents and severe injury may occur if
Tr
affic

Jam Assist is used negligently or invol-
untarily. The system is not a replacement for
driver awareness.
● Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
vehicl
e in front of you at all times to suit the
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
● Do not use Traffic Jam Assist in city jour-
neys.
● Do not u

Jam Assist has been designed for use on
paved roads only.
● Traffic Jam Assist does not react to people
or animal
s or vehicles crossing your path or
that approach you head-on down the same
lane.
● If Traffic Jam Assist does not reduce speed
sufficiently
, brake the vehicle immediately by
applying the pedal.
● If the vehicle continues to move when you
wish it
to stop after a driver intervention
prompt, brake the vehicle by applying the
pedal.
● If driver intervention is requested on the
da
sh panel display, immediately resume con-
trol of the vehicle.
● Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
to be re
ady to intervene in the steering at any time. The driver is always responsible for

vehicle in its own lane.
● Always be prepared to take charge of driv-
ing (acc
elerating or braking) yourself. Note
● If T

raffic Jam Assist does not work as de-
scribed in this chapter, stop using it and con-
tact a specialised workshop.
● If the system is faulty, take it to a special-
ised work

Driver assistance systems
Operation of Emergency Assist
Emer g
ency
Assist detects when the driver
ceases to perform any activity and repeatedly
requests that he/she regain active control of
the vehicle, through the use of optical and
acoustic warnings and by applying the
brakes.
If the driver continues to do nothing, the sys-
tem automatically takes over the accelerator,
brakes and steering in order to brake the ve-
hicle and keep it in its lane ››› . When the
Emer g
ency

Assist is actively adjusting, the
hazard warning lights come on ››› page 149
and the vehicle makes slight zigzag move-
ments in the lane in order to warn other driv-
ers.
If the remaining braking distance is suffi-
cient, if necessary the system slows down the
vehicle until it stops completely and auto-
matically switches on the electronic parking
brake ››› page 186.
Switching the Emergency Assist on and off
The Emergency Assist is switched on auto-
matically when the Lane Assist is switched on
››› page 230.
Technical requirements for using the Emer-
gency Assist ● The adaptive cruise control (ACC) must be
switc
hed on ››› page 221. ●
The Lane Assi
st must be switched on
››› page 230.
● The selector lever must be in the D/S posi-
tion or in the
Tiptronic selector gate.
● The system must have detected a lane sep-
aration line on both side
s of the vehicle
››› Fig. 204.
The following conditions may cause the
Emergency Assist not to react or to switch off
automatically:
● If the driver accelerates, brakes or moves
the steerin
g wheel.
● If any of the conditions mentioned in
›››
page 235, Technical requirements for us-
ing the Emergency Assist are not fulfilled.
● If any of the conditions required for opera-
tion of the Lane Ass
ist are not met
››› page 230.
● If any of the conditions necessary for the
adaptiv
e cruise control (ACC) to work are no
longer fulfilled ››› page 221. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
Emerg ency

Assist cannot overcome the limits
imposed by the laws of physics; it only works
within the limits of the system. The driver is
responsible for driving the vehicle.
● Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
vehicl
e in front of you at all times to suit the visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
● Keep

your hands on the wheel at all times
to be re
ady to intervene in the steering at any
time.
● The Emergency Assist alone cannot always
avoid acc
idents or serious injuries.
● If the operation of the Emergency Assist is
impaired, f
or example if the radar sensor of
the adaptive cruise control (ACC) or the Lane
Assist camera are covered or have lost their
settings, the system may intervene inoppor-
tunely in braking or in steering.
● The Emergency Assist does not react to
people or anim
al or vehicles crossing your
path or which approach you head-on in the
same lane. WARNING
If the Emergency Assist Intervenes inoppor-
tu nely

, serious accidents and injuries may oc-
cur.
● If the Emergency Assist does not operate
properly, sw
itch off the Lane Assist
››› page 230. Doing so will also switch off the
Emergency Assist.
● Have the system checked by a specialised
workshop

Parking assistant (RCTA) Fig. 211
Schematic representation of the rear
c r
o

ss traffic alert: zone monitored around the
vehicle exiting the parking space. The parking assistant uses the radar sensors
on the r
e
ar b

umper ››› Fig. 208 to monitor the
traffic crossing behind the vehicle as it backs
out of a parallel parking space or as it is be-
ing manoeuvred, for example in very low visi-
bility conditions. If the system detects that someone else on
the roa

d is approaching the rear of the vehi-
cle ››› Fig. 211, an acoustic alarm is heard.
In addition to the acoustic alarm, the driver is
also informed by means of a visual signal on
the radio screen. This signal is displayed in
the form of a red strip at the back of the im-
age of the vehicle on the radio screen. This
strip displays the side of the vehicle towards
which traffic is approaching. 1)
Automatic braking to reduce damages
If the rear cross traffic alert detects that
someone else on the road is approaching the
rear of the vehicle and the driver does not
step on the brake, the system will engage the
brakes automatically.
The parking system helps the driver by auto-
matically engaging the brakes to reduce any
damage. The system will brake automatically
if the vehicle is reversing at a speed of ap-
proximately 1-12 km (1-7 mph). Once it has
detected that the vehicle has stopped, the
system will keep the vehicle stopped for ap-
prox. 2 seconds.
After automatically braking to reduce dam-
age, the system will not be able to automati-
cally brake again for approximately 10 sec-
onds. You can interrupt the automatic braking by
step
ping hard on the accelerator pedal or the
brake pedal in order to regain control of the
vehicle. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
re ar c

ross traffic alert cannot overcome the
limits imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. The
parking assistant function should not tempt
you into taking any risks. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
● The system should never be used in limited
vis
ibility conditions or complicated traffic,
e.g., in high-traffic areas or when crossing
multiple lanes.
● Be sure to always be aware of the vehicle's
surrou
ndings, since the system often fails to
detect things such as bicycles or pedestrians.
● The rear cross traffic alert itself will not
brake the
vehicle to a complete stop. 1)
It is only displayed if the vehicle is equipped with
a park in

g system. 241

in approximately 6 minutes following activa-
tion of the automatic steering.
● There is a fault in the system (the system is
temporari
ly unavailable).
● ASR is switched off.
● ASR or ESC intervene with regulation.
● The driver door is opened.
To re

Special Characteristics
The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system. For exam-
ple, it is therefore not possible to enter or exit
a parking space on sharp bends. While entering or exiting a parking space, a
brief sign

al sounds to prompt the driver to
change between forward and reverse gears
(depending on the case). In successive ma-
noeuvres, the assistant tells the driver to
change gears, at the latest, when the contin-
uous audible signal is given (object present
at a distance of ≤30 cm) by Park Pilot.
When the Park Assist system turns the steer-
ing wheel with the vehicle stationary, the in-
strument panel also displays the symbol .
Keep the brake pedal depressed while the
symbol remains on the dash panel display to
turn the wheels with the vehicle stopped.
This way, the system will require fewer ma-
noeuvres to complete the parking action. Trailer mode
The Park As
sist system cannot be switched
on if the factory-fitted towing bracket
››› page 273 is electrically connected to a
trailer.
After changing a wheel
If, after changing a wheel, the vehicle stops
entering and exiting parking spaces correctly,
the circumference of the new wheel may be
different and the system may need to adapt
to it. The adaptation is automatic and takes
place during driving. Making turns slowly and
in both directions (20 km/h [12 mph]) for a
few minutes may contribute to this adapta-
tion process ››› in Introduction on
