Function of Active Traffic Jam Assist
Active Traffic Jam Assist helps you when in traf‐
fic jams on multi-lane roads with separate road‐
ways by automatically pulling away within up to
60 seconds and with moderate steering maneu‐
vers. It orients itself using the vehicle in front
and lane markings. Active Traffic Jam Assist
automatically maintains a safe distance from the
vehicle in front and vehicles cutting in.
Active Traffic Jam Assist requires you, as the
driver, to keep your hands on the steering wheel
at all times so that you are able to intervene at
any time to correct the course of the vehicle and
keep it in lane.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nize dangers ( page 181).
