Does the Mercedes-Benz E300L have a lane keeping system?

Mercedes-Benz E300L does not have a lane keeping system. Definition of Lane Keeping System: The Lane Keeping Assist System is a type of intelligent driving assistance system that, based on the Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), assists the steering system to help the vehicle stay within its lane. While driving, the system uses a camera to identify the lane markings and provides support to keep the vehicle in the lane. How the Lane Keeping System Works: By processing the camera's images, the system determines the vehicle's current position relative to the lane markings, the direction and speed of deviation. When the vehicle approaches the identified boundary line and is about to leave the lane, the system alerts the driver through sound and visual signals.

I paid special attention to this feature when test-driving the Mercedes-Benz E300L recently. The current E-Class models basically come standard with lane-keeping assist system. Once the speed exceeds 60 km/h, the sensors on the steering wheel start working. Last time on the elevated road, I intentionally let go of the steering wheel, and the car immediately displayed a warning on the instrument panel along with a slight vibration to alert me. However, I wouldn't recommend relying too much on it, especially during rainy days when road markings are blurry—the system might not perform accurately. Also, if you've modified the rims or suspension, it could affect the sensor precision, something dealers usually don't proactively mention.

I drove my friend's E300L, and what surprised me the most was the lane-keeping assist system. When the car deviates from the lane markings, the steering wheel gently corrects itself, and the seat vibrates as a warning. Once during a long drive when I was feeling drowsy, this feature really helped me avoid crossing the lane a few times. However, the system isn't very responsive on winding mountain roads, and it's particularly annoying that it automatically turns off when you use the turn signal, requiring a manual restart every time you change lanes. Overall, it's a practical safety feature, but it's far from fully autonomous driving.

Lane keeping assist is definitely available, and it's basically standard on cars priced over 300,000 yuan now. Mercedes-Benz calls it Active Lane Keeping Assist, and when activated, you can see two green lane markings on the instrument panel. In real-world testing, the system is very responsive—it can even recognize temporary construction dotted lines. However, sometimes it's too sensitive—once when I was overtaking normally without signaling, the steering wheel resisted my input. The most interesting part is that when adaptive cruise control is engaged, it can make slight turns based on the trajectory of the car ahead, so you hardly need to touch the steering wheel on the highway.

As a mid-to-high-end model, the Mercedes-Benz E300L is indeed equipped with active lane keeping. It's recommended to adjust the sensitivity via the central control screen while driving, as the default settings can sometimes be overly sensitive. Once, when driving over a road crack, the system mistook it for a lane marking and suddenly jerked the steering wheel, which gave me quite a scare. Extra caution is needed in rainy conditions, as the stereo camera on the rearview mirror bracket is prone to misjudgment when wet. The most practical feature of this system is its integration with blind spot monitoring—it automatically corrects the steering if there's a vehicle in the blind spot during a lane change, effectively preventing many potential accidents.
