Operation
Read and observe on page 251 first.
In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden change
in direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order
to reduce the risk of serious injury.
▶
The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-
sioned closely over the body.
▶
Opened electrically powered door windows are closed automatically up to a
gap of about 5 cm from the edge.
▶
The sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will
be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.
The first level of protection
The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic
driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in
the correct seated position.
The first protection level can be deactivated in one of the following ways.
▶
In the infotainment system, in menu
/
tap on function surface
→
Driv-
er assistance
.
▶
Deactivating the TCS» page 216.
▶
By selecting the driving mode
Sport
» page 251.
Provided that the driving mode
Sport
is not selected, the system is activated
over the two levels of protection after switching the ignition off and on again.
The second level of protection
The system intervenes only if the situation is evaluated as critical, such as
when panic braking at high speeds.
This level of protection cannot be deactivated.
Vehicles with the Front Assist system
Using this information, a system intervention may also occur when there is the
danger of a collision with an obstacle detected in front of the vehicle.
Spurhalteassistent (Lane Assist)
Introduction
Fig. 307
Sensor for Lane Assist
The lane departure warning (following known as system) helps to keep the ve-
hicle between the boundary lines of a lane.
The system recognises the boundary lines of the lane using a sensor » Fig. 307.
When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system
makes a light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the
boundary line. This corrective steering intervention can be manually overridden
at any time.
WARNING
■
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 214, in section Introduction.
■
Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it
does not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for
steering at all times.
■
Some objects or markings on the road can be recognised as the boundary
lines - an erroneous steering intervention may be the result.
WARNING
The system may not be able to recognise the boundary line, or recognise it
incorrectly, for example, in the following situations.
■
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
When driving in “sharp” bends.
■
The sensor is blinded by the sun or oncoming traffic.
■
The field of view of the sensor is limited by an obstacle or a preceding ve-
hicle.
