Operation of Emergency Assist
Emergency Assist detects when the driver
ceases to perform any activity and repeated-
ly requests that he/she regain active control
of the vehicle, through the use of optical and
acoustic warnings and by applying the
brakes.
If the driver continues to do nothing, the sys-
tem automatically takes over the accelerator,
brakes and steering in order to brake the ve-
hicle and keep it in its lane
Emergency Assist is actively adjusting, the
hazard warning lights come on
and the vehicle makes slight zigzag move-
ments in the lane in order to warn other driv-
ers.
If the remaining braking distance is sufficient,
if necessary the system slows down the vehi-
cle until it stops completely and automati-
cally switches on the electronic parking

WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the Emergency Assist cannot overcome the
limits imposed by the laws of physics; it on-
ly works within the limits of the system. The
driver is responsible for driving the vehicle.
Adapt your speed and safe distance to
●
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
the visibility, weather, road and traffic con-
ditions.
Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
●
to be ready to intervene in the steering at
any time.
The Emergency Assist alone cannot al-
●
ways avoid accidents or serious injuries.
If the operation of the Emergency Assist
●
is impaired, for example if the radar sensor
of the adaptive cruise control (ACC) or the
Lane Assist camera are covered or have
lost their settings, the system may inter-
vene inopportunely in braking or in steer-
ing.
The Emergency Assist does not react to
●
people or animal or vehicles crossing your
path or which approach you head-on in the
same lane.
WARNING
If the Emergency Assist Intervenes inoppor-
tunely, serious accidents and injuries may
occur.
