Lane assistance*
Lane Keeping Aid is one of the functions in
the Driver Alert System - sometimes also
referred to as LKA (Lane Keeping Aid).
The function is intended for use on motor-
ways and similar major roads in order to
reduce the risk of the vehicle accidentally
leaving its own lane in certain situations.
A camera reads the painted side lines of the
road/lane. If the car is about to cross a side
line then Lane Keeping Aid will actively steer
the car back into the lane with a slight steer-
ing torque in the steering wheel.
If the car reaches or crosses a side line then
Lane Keeping Aid will also alert the driver with
vibration in the steering wheel.
WARNING
LKA is merely a driver's aid and does not
engage in all driving situations or traffic,
weather or road conditions.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely and that applicable laws and road
traffic regulations are followed.

deactivated on narrow roads with less than
2.6 metres between the lane side lines.
Press the centre console's button to activate
or deactivate the function. The button's lamp
illuminates when the function is switched on.
Some combinations of the selected equip-
ment leave no vacant space for an On/Off
button in the centre console - in which case,
the function is instead operated in the car's
menu system MY CAR (p. 109). Here, pro-
ceed as follows:
