Active Traffic Jam Assist
Active Traffic Jam Assist is country-dependent
and only available for vehicles with the Driving
Assistance Package Plus and factory navigation.
Active Traffic Jam Assist helps you when in traf‐
fic jams on multi-lane roads with structurally
separated carriageways by automatically pulling
away and with moderate steering manoeuvres. It
orients itself using the vehicle in front and lane
markings. Active Traffic Jam Assist automatically
maintains a safe distance from the vehicle in
front and vehicles cutting in.
Active Traffic Jam 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.
Active Traffic Jam Assist is only an aid. The driver
is responsible for keeping a safe distance to the
vehicle in front, for vehicle speed and for braking
in good time.
Active Traffic Jam Assist activates automatically
when all of the following conditions are met:
You are in a traffic jam on a motorway or
