if necessary. This way the system can actively
help avoid an accident or reduce its conse-
quences.

sist. Therefore, carefully read the information

and take into account the limita-

in the information.
Driver intervention prompt
If the emergency assist detects that the driver
is not actively doing anything, he or she is
prompted to take control of the vehicle by
audio warnings and a brief application of the
brake. In addition, a warning is shown on the
instrument cluster display and the volume of
the infotainment system is lowered.
Depending on the equipment, the driver's seat
belt is tightened at the same time.
System intervention
If the driver does not react, the system can
brake the vehicle and keep it in its lane. The
following control lamp lights up on the instru-
ment cluster display:
The system is regulating.

Assistant systems
Note
If the emergency assist is faulty, it may switch
off automatically.
Note
If Lane Assist is unavailable, Emergency Assist
will be unavailable as well.
WARNING
The smart technology fitted into the Emer-
gency Assist cannot overcome the limits im-
posed by the laws of physics; it only works
within the limits of the system. The driver is
responsible for driving the vehicle.
●
Adapt your speed and safety distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
the visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
The Emergency Assist cannot always avoid
accidents or serious injuries by itself.
●
If the radar sensor or the camera are cov-
ered or have been altered or damaged, the
system may intervene on the brakes or on the
direction in an inappropriate manner.
●
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.
