Function of Active Emergency Stop Assist
Depending on vehicle equipment, Active Emer‐
gency Stop Assist uses touch sensors or detects
steering movements when monitoring the steer‐
ing wheel. If the system detects that the driver is
no longer holding the steering wheel, it can ini‐
tiate an emergency stop, if necessary.
Vehicles without Driving Assistance Pack‐

tored as well as the steering wheel.
Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: if
Active Steering Assist is deactivated, the accel‐

the steering wheel.
A warning is issued when the steering wheel is
not being held or when a pedal is not depressed,
and the vehicle is in danger of leaving the lane.
