Emergency Stop Assistant
Principle
If the driver is no longer fit to drive, the Emer-
gency Stop Assistant helps to safely bring the
vehicle to a standstill.
General information
The emergency stop function is not triggered
automatically. The emergency stop function
can only be triggered manually by the occu-
pants.
When the system is activated, the vehicle is
brought to a standstill in its own lane by use of
lane guidance.
Depending on the vehicle equipment and na-
tional-market version, the system includes a
lane change function.
With lane change function: on motorways or
motorway-like roads, the system steers the ve-
hicle to the side of the road or shoulder where
possible. On other roads or with high traffic
volume, the vehicle is brought to a standstill in
the current lane.
