Introduction
The Driver Alert System is designed to help a driver who may be becoming fatigued or whois inadvertently leaving the lane and consistsof two different functions that can beswitched on together or separately.
• Driver Alert Control (DAC)
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW) 1
, see
page 191
• Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) 2
, see page 194
When one or both of the functions has beenswitched on, it is in standby mode and is acti-vated when the vehicle exceeds a speed of40 mph (65 km/h). The function deactivates if the vehicle's speed goes under 37 mph (60 km/h). Both functions use a camera that is depend- ent on the road/lane being clearly marked bypainted lines on each side.
WARNING
The Driver Alert System does not function in all situations and is designed to be asupplementary aid. It is not, however,intended to replace the driver’s attentionand judgement.
Driver Alert Control (DAC)
This function is intended to alert the driver if his/her driving becomes erratic, such as if thedriver is distracted or fatigued.
NOTE
The camera has certain limitations, see page 166.
A camera monitors the painted lines marking the lane in which the vehicle is traveling andcompares the direction of the road with thedriver’s movements of the steering wheel.The driver is alerted if the vehicle does notfollow the lane smoothly. DAC is designed to help detect a slowlychanging driving pattern. It is primarilyintended to be used on main roads and is notmeant for use in city traffic.
WARNING
•
DAC is not intended to extend the duration of driving. Always plan breaksat regular intervals to help remain alert.
• In certain cases, fatigue may not affectthe driver’s behavior. In situations ofthis type, no warning will be provided.Therefore, it is important to takebreaks at regular intervals, regardlessof whether or not DAC has given awarning.
LimitationsIn certain situations, DAC may provide warn- ings even if the driver’s driving pattern hasnot become erratic.
• if the driver is testing the LDW function, see page 191
• if the driver is testing the LKA function,see page 194
• in strong crosswinds
• on grooved road surfaces.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) 2
See page 191 for information about determin- ing if your vehicle is equipped with LaneDeparture Warning or Lane Keeping Aid This function is designed to help reduce the risk of accidents in situations where the vehi-cle unintentionally leaves its lane and there isa risk of driving off the road or into the oppo-site lane. It is primarily intended for use onhighways or other major roads with clearlymarked side marker and center lines.
How LKA works
The illustration is generic
LKA uses the camera located at the center, upper edge of the windshield to monitor theroad's/lane’s side marker lines. If the vehicle crosses a side marker line or theroad’s center dividing line, LKA will provideactive steering assistance to help steer itback into the lane. The driver will also be alerted by vibrations in the steering wheel.
WARNING
This feature is only intended to assist the driver and does not function in all driving,weather, traffic or road conditions. As the driver, you have full responsibility for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.
Operation and functionLKA is active at speeds above 40 mph (65 km/h) on highways or other major roadswith clearly marked side/lane marker andcenter lines. On narrow roads where the dis-tance between side/lane marker lines is lessthan approximately 8.5 feet ( 2.6 meters), LKAwill be temporarily deactivated.
LKA monitors and follows the marker lines (the red lines in the illustration)
• White
side marker lines: the function is
active and "sees" one or both of the road's side marker lines.
• Gray
side marker lines: the function is
active but cannot "see" one or both of theroad's side marker lines.

LKA intervening on the right side (the red line)
When LKA is working actively, this is indi- cated by:
• Red
side marker line: the line being
crossed.
On/Off
LKA can be switched on or off by pressing the button on the center console. A light inthe button illuminates when the function ison. Depending on the number of optional fea- tures installed in the vehicle, there may not bespace for the On/Off button on the centerconsole. If this is the case, LKA can beswitched on or off in the MY CAR menu sys-
tem. The following LKA-related settings can also be made in MY CAR, under
SettingsLane

Assistance mode: •
Vibration only: Warning by vibrations in
the steering wheel On or Off.
•
Steering assist only: Active steering Onor Off.
•
Full function: Both vibrations and active
steering On or Off.
Steering assistLKA attempts to keep the vehicle within the lane's side marker lines.
LKA provides steering assistance
If the vehicle approaches one of the lane's side marker lines and the turn signals are
not being used , LKA will attempt to steer the
vehicle back into the lane.

Vibration warnings
LKA provides vibrations in the steering wheel and steering assistance 4
.
If the vehicle crosses a marker line, LKA pro- vides a warning in the form of vibrations inthe steering wheel. This occurs even if thesteering assist function has been deactivated.
Dynamic cornering
LKA does not intervene in sharp left curves
In certain cases, LKA allows the vehicle to cross marker lines without providing a vibra-tion warning or steering assistance, for exam-ple, during dynamic cornering as shown inthe illustration where the driver's view of theroad and traffic conditions make this possi-ble.
LimitationsThe camera used by LDW has the same limi-tations as the human eye. See page 183 for more information about the camera's limita-tions.
NOTE
In certain cases, it may be difficult for LKA to assist the driver correctly. In the follow-ing conditions, it may be preferable to turnLKA off:
• Road construction areas
• Winter road conditions
• Poor road surfaces
• A very sporty driving style
• Bad weather conditions with poor visi- bility
WARNING
Hands on the steering wheel
: In order for
LKA to function correctly, the driver's hands have to be on the steering wheel,which LKA monitors steadily. If this is notthe case, the driver will be alerted by a textmessage to actively steer the vehicle. If this is not done, LKA will go into standby mode and will remain disengaged until thedriver begins to actively steer the vehicleagain.

An audible signal and symbols in theaudio system’s display indicate the distanceto the object.
NOTE
A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated with the vehicle's electrical system will beincluded in the measurement of the availa-ble space behind the vehicle.
