Evasive Steering Assist (only vehicles with
Driving Assistance Package)
& 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 traf‐
#
fic situation; do not rely on Evasive
Steering Assist alone.
Be prepared to brake or swerve if nec‐
#
essary.
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 steer‐
ing.
System limits
Full system performance is not yet available for a
few seconds after switching on the vehicle or
after driving off.

Driving and parking 259
The system may be impaired or may not func‐
tion, particularly in the following situations:
In snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, if there is
R
glare, in direct sunlight or in greatly varying
light conditions.
If the sensors are dirty, misted up, damaged
R
or covered ( page 227).
/
If the sensors are impaired due to interfer‐
R
ence 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 back‐
ground.
