F F unction of A unction of Activ ctive St e Stop-and-Go Assist op-and-Go Assist
Active Stop-and-Go Assist helps you when in traf-
fic jams on multi-lane roads with separate carria-
geways by automatically pulling away within up to
60 seconds and with moderate steering manoeu-
vres. It orients itself using the vehicle in front and
lane markings. Active Stop-and-Go Assist auto-
matically maintains a safe distance from the vehi-
cle in front and vehicles cutting 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 recognise
dangers ( page 256).

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 moderate
steering interventions. Depending on the speed
driven, Active Steering Assist uses the vehicles
ahead and lane markings as a reference.
% Depending on the country, in the lower speed
range Active Steering Assist can use the sur-
rounding tra c as a reference. If necessary,
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.
