%
During the transition from active to passive
status, the Ø symbol is shown as
enlarged and flashing. Once the system is
passive, the Ø symbol is shown as grey in
the multifunction display.
Contact detection
The driver is required to keep their hands on the
steering wheel at all times and be able to inter‐
vene at any time to correct the course of the
vehicle and keep it in lane. The driver must
expect a change from active to passive mode or
vice versa at any time.
If the driver removes their hands from the steer‐
ing wheel for a considerable period, display 1
appears first. If the driver still does not steer the
vehicle, or gives no confirmation to the system,
a warning tone sounds in addition to the visual
warning message.
The warning is not issued or is stopped as soon
as the system detects that the driver is holding
the steering wheel.
If Active Steering Assist detects that a system
limit has been reached, a visual and acoustic
warning is issued.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nise dangers (/ page 203).
System limits
Active Steering Assist has a limited steering tor‐
que for lateral guidance. In some cases, the
steering intervention is not sufficient to keep the
vehicle in the lane or to drive through exits.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following instances:
R
There is poor visibility, e.g. due to snow, rain,
fog, heavy spray, greatly varying light condi‐
tions or strong shadows on the carriageway.
R
There is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,
direct sunlight or reflections.
R
Insufficient road illumination.
R
The windscreen is dirty, misted up, damaged
or covered in the vicinity of the camera, e.g.
by a sticker.
R
No, or several, unclear lane markings are
present for one lane, or the markings change
quickly, e.g. in a construction area or junc‐
tions.
