Limitations of Driver Alert Control

The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function may
have limitations in certain situations.

In some cases the system may issue a warn-
ing despite driving ability not deteriorating, for
example:

•

in strong side winds

•

on rutted road surfaces.

WARNING

In some cases, driving behaviour is not

affected despite driver fatigue – e.g. when

using the Pilot Assist

function – resulting

in the driver not getting a warning from

DAC.
It is therefore important to always stop and

take a break at the slightest feeling of fati-

gue, regardless of whether the function has

given a warning.

Driver Alert Control (p. 372)

This function uses the car's camera and
radar units, which have certain general lim-
itations.

Lane assistance

The function of the Lane Keeping Aid
(LKA

106

) is to help the driver to reduce the

risk of the car accidentally leaving its own
lane on motorways and similar major routes.

Lane Keeping Aid steers the car back into its
lane and/or alerts the driver with vibrations in
the steering wheel.

Lane Keeping Aid is active within the speed
range 65–200 km/h (40–125 mph) on roads
with clearly visible side lines.

On narrow roads the function may be unavail-
able, in which case it goes into standby mode.
The function becomes available again when
the road is wide enough.

A camera reads the side lines of the road/lane.

Lane assistance steers the car back into its lane.

Lane assistance warns with steering wheel vibra-

tions.

375

Depending on settings, lane assistance acts in
accordance with the following:

•

Assist

activated: When the car is

approaching a lane line, the function will
actively steer the car back into its lane by
applying a slight torque to the steering
wheel.

•

Warning

activated: If the car is about to

cross a lane line, the driver is warned by
means of vibrations in the steering wheel.

There is also an option where both steering
assistance and warning are activated simulta-
neously.

When a direction indicator/flasher is
switched on, there are no steering correc-
tions or alerts from lane assistance.

WARNING

•

The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.

•

Lane assistance does not intervene

Lane assistance does not engage on sharp inside

curves.

In some situations, lane assistance allows lane
lines to be crossed without intervening with
either steering assistance or a warning – e.g.
when using the direction indicators or cutting
bends.

Hands on the steering wheel

For steering assistance with lane assistance to
work, the driver must have his/her hands on
the steering wheel, which the system will con-
tinue to monitor.

If the driver does not keep
his/her hands on the steering
wheel, a warning signal is
heard and a message encour-
ages the driver to steer the
car actively:

Limitations of Lane assistance

In certain demanding conditions lane assis-
tance (LKA

109

) may have difficulty helping the

driver correctly. In such cases it is recom-
mended to switch off this function.

Examples of such conditions are:

•

road works

•

winter road conditions

•

poor road surface

•

a very “sporty” driving style

•

poor weather with reduced visibility

•

roads with unclear or non-existent side
markings

•

sharp edges or lines other than the lane's
side markings

•

as the steering servo for speed-dependent
steering wheel resistance is working at
reduced power – e.g. when cooling due to
overheating.

The function is unable to detect barriers, rails
or similar obstacles at the side of the carriage-
way.

This function uses the car's camera and
radar units, which have certain general lim-
itations.

Steering assistance with brake intervention

Intervention with steering assistance and braking.

Brake intervention helps in situations where
steering assistance alone is not sufficient. The
brake force is adapted automatically depend-
ing on the situation at the time of road run-off.

The function is active within the speed range
65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) on roads with
clearly visible lane markings/lines.

A camera scans the edges of the road and the
painted side markings. If the car is about to
leave the side of the road, the car is steered
back onto the road and if the steering inter-
vention is not enough to avoid run-off, the
brakes are also activated.

However, the function does

not

intervene with

either steering assistance or brake interven-
tion if the direction indicators are used. And if
the function detects that the driver is actively

driving the car, activation of the function will
be delayed.

Steering assistance upon risk of

rear-end collision

Steering assistance has a number of subfunc-
tions. Steering assistance if there is a risk of
rear-end collision can help a distracted driver
who does not notice that the car is about to
leave its own lane while an oncoming vehicle
is approaching at the same time, either from
behind or in the blind spot.

The function can assist by steering the car back to its

own lane.

Other vehicle in the blind spot

Your car

If the car is about to leave its own lane while
another vehicle is in the blind spot, or another
vehicle is approaching rapidly in an adjacent
lane at the same time, the function can help

the adjacent lane

•

on roads/in lanes with unclear or non-exis-
tent lane markings

•

outside the speed range 60-140 km/h
(37-87 mph)

•

as the steering servo for speed-dependent
steering wheel resistance is working at
reduced power – e.g. when cooling due to
overheating.

Other demanding situations can include:

•

road works

•

winter road conditions

•

narrow roads

•

poor road surface

•

a very “sporty” driving style

•

poor weather with reduced visibility.

In these demanding situations, the function

Park Assist

The Park Assist Pilot function can assist the
driver when manoeuvring in tight spaces by
indicating the distance to obstacles through
acoustic signals combined with a graphic in
the centre display.

Screen view showing obstacle zones and sensor sec-

tors.

The centre display shows an overview of the
relationship between the car and detected
obstacles.

The highlighted sector indicates the location
of the obstacle. The closer the car symbol is to
a highlighted sector box at the front/back, the
shorter the distance between the car and
detected obstacle.

The side sectors change colour as the distance
between the car and an object is reduced.

The shorter the distance to the obstacle, the
faster the signal sounds. Other sound from the
audio system is muted automatically.

The acoustic signal for obstacles ahead and to
the sides is active when the car is moving but
stops after the car has been stationary for
approx. 2 seconds. The acoustic signal for
obstacles behind is also active when the car is
stationary.

At a distance within approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from
an obstacle behind or in front of the car, the
tone is constant and the active sensor's field
closest to the car symbol is filled.

At a distance within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft)
from an obstacle To the sides, the tone pulses
intensively and the active sector field changes
colour from ORANGE to RED.

The volume of the parking assistance signal
can be adjusted while the signal is sounding
by means of the [

>II

] knob on the centre con-

sole. Adjustment can also be performed in the
top view's

Settings

menu option.

Except in the sector nearest to the car
symbol, audible warnings are only given for
objects directly in the path of the car.
