Operation
Side Assist PLUS
If the vehicle is also equipped with Side As-
sist and the system is switched on, the driver
is alerted when changing lanes during a pos-
sible critical situation (level of information,
warning level) through a corrective steering
wheel intervention. This occurs even if the
turn signal is activated in the corresponding
direction. If the driver over-regulates the
steering wheel intervention, an additional
warning is given through a vibration in the
steering wheel.

Operation of Traffic Jam Assist
At speeds of below 60 km/h (40 mph), Traffic
Jam Assist can maintain a (temporary) dis-
tance preset by the driver with respect to the
vehicle ahead and help stay within the lane

.
To do this, the system automatically controls
the acceleration, brakes and steering, and
slows down the vehicle if necessary until it
stops fully before a vehicle that has stopped,
before moving off again automatically.
