Detection range
With the Intersection Warning function, the fol-
lowing may not be detected or may be de-
tected only with a delay in the detection range
of the sensors, e.g.:
▷ Crossing vehicles when they are hidden,
e.g. by buildings.
▷ Vehicles with an unusual side view.
▷ Vehicles in highly dynamic driving situa-
tions.
Evasion Assistant
Principle
The Evasion Assistant can support the driver
in making evasive maneuvers in certain situa-
tions such as when obstacles or persons sud-
denly appear. This system intervenes actively
to assist the driver if it is possible to make an
evasive maneuver to the side.
If there is sufficient clearance, the driver's
steering movements are assisted during the
evasive maneuver.
The system warns the driver of a possible risk
of collision by displaying various warning lights
on the instrument cluster.
