Function of Active Traffic Jam Assist
Active Traffic Jam Assist helps you when in traf‐
fic jams on multi-lane roads with separate carria‐
geways by automatically pulling away within
60 seconds and with moderate steering
manoeuvres. 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 sys‐
tems and your responsibility; you may otherwise
fail to recognise dangers ( page 178).
/
Active Traffic Jam Assist activates automatically
as soon as all of the requirements are met: The
¬ status display appears in the instrument

Active Steering Assist
Function of Active Steering Assist
Active Steering Assist is only available up to a
speed of 210 km/h. The system helps you to
stay in the centre of the lane by means of mod‐
erate steering interventions. Depending on the
speed driven, Active Steering Assist uses the
vehicles ahead and lane markings as a refer‐
ence.
% Depending on the country, in the lower
speed range Active Steering Assist can use
the surrounding traffic as a reference. If nec‐
essary, Active Steering Assist can then also
provide assistance when driving outside the
centre of the lane, for example, to form a
rescue lane.
