Evasive Steering Assist (only vehicles with

Evasive Steering Assist has the following charac‐
teristics:
It can detect stationary or crossing pedes‐
R
trians.
It can assist the driver with additional steer‐
R
ing assistance if it detects a swerving
manoeuvre.
It can be activated by an abrupt steering
R
movement during a swerving manoeuvre.
It can assist during swerving and straighten‐
R
ing of the vehicle.
It can react from a speed of approximately
R
20 km/h up to a speed of approximately
70 km/h.
You can prevent the assistance at any time by
actively steering.
& WARNING Risk of an accident despite
Evasive Steering Assist
Evasive Steering Assist cannot always clearly
identify objects and complex traffic situa‐
tions.
In addition, the steering support of Evasive
Steering Assist is generally not sufficient to
avoid a collision.
In such cases Evasive Steering Assist can:
give an unnecessary warning or provide
R
assistance
not give a warning or not provide assis‐
R
tance
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
#
fic situation; do not rely on Evasive
Steering Assist alone.
Be ready to brake and take evasive
#
action, if necessary.
Prevent the assistance by actively steer‐
#
ing in non-critical driving situations.
Drive at an appropriate speed if pedes‐
#
trians are close to the path of your vehi‐
cle.
Also observe the system limitations of Evasive
Steering Assist.
