Autonomous braking application in order to
R
reduce the severity of an accident
Evasive Steering Assist
& WARNING Risk of accident despite Eva-
sive Steering Assist
Evasive Steering Assist cannot always recog-
nise objects or complex traffic situations
clearly.
Moreover, the steering support provided by
Evasive Steering Assist is not sufficient to
avoid a collision.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
#
situation; do not rely on Evasive Steering
Assist alone.
Be prepared to brake or swerve if neces-
#
sary.
End the support by actively steering in
#
non-critical situations.
Drive at an appropriate speed if there
#
are pedestrians close to the path of your
vehicle.
Evasive Steering Assist has the following charac-
teristics:
Detection of pedestrians, cyclists and vehi-
R
cles.
Assistance through power-assisted steering if
R
it detects a swerving manoeuvre.
Activation by an abrupt steering movement
R
during a swerving manoeuvre.
Assistance during swerving and straightening
R
of the vehicle.
Reaction from a speed of approximately
R
20 km/h up to a speed of approximately
110 km/h.
The steering support of Evasive Steering Assist
can be cancelled at any time by counter steering.
System limits
Full system performance is not yet available for a
short time after switching on the vehicle or after
driving off. As long as the functions are restricted,
the Æ warning lamp can also be shown in the
driver's display. Depending on the environmental
conditions, it may take a few minutes before full
system performance is available.
The system may be impaired or may not function,
particularly in the following situations:
In snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, if there is glare,
R
in direct sunlight or in greatly varying light
conditions.
If the sensors are dirty, misted up, damaged or
R
covered. (

/
If the sensors are impaired due to interference
R
from other radar sources, e.g. strong radar
reflections in multi-storey car parks.
If a loss of tyre pressure or a defective tyre
R
has been detected and displayed.
In complex traffic situations where objects
R
cannot always be clearly identified.
If pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles move
R
quickly into the sensor detection range.
If road users are hidden by other objects or
R
are located close to other objects.
If the typical outline of a pedestrian or cyclist
R
cannot be distinguished from the background.
If a pedestrian or cyclist is not detected as
R
such, e.g. due to special clothing or other
objects.
