Active Evasive Steering Assist
& WARNING Risk of accident despite Active
Evasive Steering Assist
Active Evasive Steering Assist cannot always
clearly identify objects and complex traffic sit-
uations.
In such cases, Active Evasive Steering Assist
might:
issue an unfounded warning or initiate a
R
steering intervention
not issue a warning or not initiate a steer-
R
ing intervention.
The Active Evasive Steering Assist can provide
support in preventing a collision via an auto-
matically initiated steering intervention.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
#
situation; do not rely on Active Evasive
Steering Assist alone.
Be prepared to brake or swerve if neces-
#
sary.
Drive with adjusted speed if pedestrians
#
are in the area surrounding the road.
Active Evasive Steering Assist can automatically
react to objects that are stationary or moving lon-
gitudinally in your lane.
Active Evasive Steering Assist has the following
characteristics:
Detection of pedestrians, cyclists and vehi-
R
cles.
assistance by autonomous steering interven-
R
tion during a necessary evasive manoeuvre
autonomous activation if there is sufficient
R
space in your own lane
Reaction from a speed of approximately
R
30 km/h up to a speed of approximately
80 km/h.
When Active Evasive Steering Assist is interven-
ing, and for the duration of the evasive action, a
warning tone is sounded and the distance warning
lamp L flashes.
F243 0059 02
The steering assistance by Active Evasive Steering
Assist can be cancelled at any time by steering,
accelerating or braking.
Active Evasive Steering Assist can intervene in the
following speed ranges:
when approaching stationary vehicles, pedes-
R
trians or cyclists at speeds from approximately
30 km/h to approximately 80 km/h
when approaching pedestrians or cyclists
R
moving longitudinally ahead at speeds from
approximately 30 km/h to approximately
80 km/h
System limits
Full system performance is not yet available for a
short time after switching on the vehicle or after
driving off. Depending on the environmental con-
ditions, it may take a few minutes before full sys-
tem performance is available.
The system may be impaired or may not function,
particularly in the following situations:
in snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, if there is glare,
R
in direct sunlight or in greatly varying light
conditions.
