Function of Active Emergency Stop Assist
Driving and parking 187
If the system detects that the driver has not
steered the vehicle for a considerable period of
time or has removed their hands from the steer‐
ing wheel, display 1 appears in the multifunc‐
tion display. If the driver still does not steer the
vehicle, or gives no confirmation to the system,
a warning tone sounds in addition to the visual
warning message.
If the driver still does not respond to the warn‐
ing, the Beginning Emergency Stop
appears in the multifunction display. If the driver
still does not respond, Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC reduces the speed. The vehicle is
decelerated in stages to a standstill.
Depending on the country, at speeds below
40 mph (60 km/h) the hazard warning lights
switch on automatically.
When the vehicle is stationary, the following
actions are carried out:
