Function of Active Stop-and-Go Assist
Active Stop-and-Go Assist helps you when in
traffic jams on multi-lane roads with separate
carriageways by automatically pulling away
within up to 60 seconds and with moderate
steering manoeuvres. It orients itself using the
vehicle in front and lane markings. Active Stop-
and-Go Assist automatically maintains a safe dis‐
tance from the vehicle in front and vehicles cut‐
ting in.
Active Stop-and-Go Assist requires you, as the
driver, to keep your hands on the steering wheel
at all times so that you are able to intervene at
any time to correct the course of the vehicle and
keep it in lane.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nise dangers ( page 192).

Function of Active Steering Assist
Active Steering Assist is only available up to a
speed of 210 km/h. The system helps you to
stay in the centre of the lane by means of mod‐
erate steering interventions. Depending on the
speed driven, Active Steering Assist uses the
vehicles ahead and lane markings as a refer‐
ence.
% Depending on the country, in the lower
speed range Active Steering Assist can use
the surrounding traffic as a reference. If nec‐
essary, Active Steering Assist can then also
provide assistance when driving outside the
centre of the lane.
If the detection of lane markings and vehicles
ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist
switches to passive mode. The system provides
no support in this case.
