Steering assistance at risk of
collision
The function Collision avoidance assistance
can help the driver reduce the risk of the car
leaving its lane unintentionally and/or collid-
ing with another vehicle or obstacle by
actively steering the car back into its lane
and/or swerving.
The function consists of these subfunctions:
Steering assistance upon risk of run-off
•
Steering assistance upon risk of head-on
•
collision
Steering assistance upon risk of rear-end
•
collision*
After automatic engagement, the driver dis-
play indicates that this has occurred via a text
message:
Collision avoidance assistance Automatic
intervention
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver
•
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-
•
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate
to this function to learn about factors
such as its limitations and what the
driver should be aware of before using
the system.
Driver support functions are not a sub-
•
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.
NOTE
It is always the driver who decides how
much the car should steer – the car can
never take command.
