DRIVER SUPPORT
Steering assistance during collision
risks from oncoming traffic
Steering assistance has several sub-functions.
Steering assistance during collision risks from
oncoming traffic can help a distracted driver
who has not noticed that the vehicle is veering
out of the lane.
The function provides assistance by swerving your vehi-
cle back into your own lane.
Oncoming vehicles
Own vehicle
When steering assistance is activated, collision
warning for driver support will also be activated.
However, the brake pedal pulsations that are part
of collision warning will not be activated.
The function is active at speeds between
60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with clearly
visible traffic lane markings/lines.

If your vehicle is starting to veer from your own
lane and a vehicle is approaching from the oppo-
site direction, this function can help the driver
steer the vehicle back into its own lane.
However, the function will not provide steering
assistance if the turn signal is used. The function
will also not be activated if it detects that the
driver is actively operating the vehicle.
After the system has automatically intervened,
this text message will appear in the instrument
panel:
