Steering assistance at risk of
collision
Collision avoidance assistance
The function
can help the driver reduce the risk of the car
leaving its lane unintentionally and/or colliding
with another vehicle or obstacle by actively
steering the car back into its lane and/or swerv-
ing.
The function consists of these subfunctions:
Steering assistance upon risk of run-off
•
Steering assistance upon risk of head-on
•
collision
After automatic engagement, the driver display
indicates that this has occurred via a text mes-
sage:
Collision avoidance assistance
•
Automatic intervention
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver sup-
•
port intended to facilitate driving and
make it safer – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
The driver is advised to read all sections
•
in the Owner's Manual that relate to this
function to learn about factors such as its
limitations and what the driver should be
aware of before using the system.
Driver support functions are not a substi-
•
tute for the driver's attention and judge-
ment. The driver is always responsible for
ensuring the car is driven in a safe man-
ner, at the appropriate speed, with an
appropriate distance to other vehicles,
and in accordance with current traffic
rules and regulations.
NOTE
It is always the driver who decides how much
the car should steer – the car can never take
command.
