DRIVER SUPPORT
Steering assistance upon risk of
head-on collision
Steering assistance has a number of subfunc-
tions. Steering assistance upon risk of head-on
collision can help a distracted driver who does
not notice that the car is heading into the oppo-
site lane.
The function can assist by guiding the car back to its
own lane.
Oncoming vehicles
Your car
At the same time as steering intervention is acti-
vated, collision warning for driver support is also
activated. However, the brake pulse included in
the collision warning will not be activated.
The function is active within the speed range
60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with clearly
visible lane markings/lines.

If the car is about to leave its own lane while an
oncoming vehicle is approaching at the same
time, the function can help the driver to steer the
car back into its own lane.
However, the function does not intervene with
steering assistance if the direction indicator is
used. And if the function detects that the driver is
actively driving the car, activation of the function
will be delayed.
After automatic engagement, the driver display
indicates that this has occurred via a text mes-
sage:
