Warning!
The Lane Keeping Assist does not keep the
vehicle in the lane. The Lane Keeping Assist
is only an aid to the driver and may not always
recognize lane markings properly or fail to
recognize them at all.
The system may be impaired or unavailable
when
R
visibility is poor, e.g. due to snow, rain, fog,
or heavy spray
R
oncoming traffic, sun glare or reflection
from other vehicles
R
the camera area of the windshield is dirty,
foggy, or otherwise obstructed
R
lane markings are not present
R
lane markings are worn, dark, or covered
e.g. by snow or dirt
R

short
R
when lane markings are ambiguous, for
example in road work sections
R

The Lane Keeping Assist cannot take road and
traffic conditions into account. It is the
driver’s responsibility at all times to be
attentive to road, weather and traffic
conditions and to provide the steering,
braking and other driving inputs necessary to
retain control of the vehicle. Failure to do so
could result in recognizing dangers too late,
possibly resulting in an accident and serious
injury to yourself and others.

highways. The ATTENTION ASSIST is active at
a vehicle speed of between 50 mph
(80 km/h) and 112 mph (180 km/h). Always
obey applicable speed limits. The
ATTENTION ASSIST suggests to take a rest
when recognizing fatigue or increasing
inattentiveness of the driver.
G
Warning!
The ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid to the
driver. It might not recognize fatigue or
increasing inattentiveness in time or fail to
recognize them at all. The system cannot
substitute a rested and attentive driver.
Fatigue can cause you to recognize dangers
too late, to misjudge potential dangers, or to
react slower. Therefore, make sure to be
rested before and during your trip. Take rests
early enough and regularly, especially during
long trips. Failure to do so could cause you to
