WARNING

Active Lane Keeping Assist does not keep

your vehicle in its lane. It is only an aid

designed to assist driving. It is not a substitute

for attentive driving. In some cases, the lane-

correcting brake application is not sufficient

to bring your vehicle back to the original lane.

In such cases, you must steer the vehicle

yourself to ensure that it does not leave the

lane.
Active Lane Keeping Assist does not detect

road and traffic conditions. Always make sure

that there is sufficient distance to the side for

other traffic or obstacles. In rare cases,

unclear markings or particular structures on

the roadway can be recognized as solid lane

markings. An inappropriate brake application,

e.g. after intentionally driving over a solid lane

marking, may be interrupted at any time by

steering slightly in the opposite direction.
Active Lane Keeping Assist cannot take

weather conditions into account.
You are responsible for the driving at

appropriate speeds, braking in good time, and

steering correctly. Always adapt your driving

style to suit the prevailing road and weather

conditions. Always pay attention to traffic

conditions and your surroundings. Otherwise,

you may fail to recognize dangers in time,

cause an accident and injure yourself and

others.
