Steering assistance upon risk of
rear-end collision*
Steering assistance has a number of subfunc-
tions. Steering assistance if there is a risk of
rear-end collision can help a distracted driver
who does not notice that the car is about to
leave its own lane while an oncoming vehicle is
approaching at the same time, either from
behind or in the blind spot.
The function can assist by steering the car back to its
own lane.

at the same time, the function can help the driver
to steer the car back into its own lane.
The function can even assist if the driver inten-
tionally changes lanes using direction indicators
without noticing that another vehicle is approach-
ing.
The function is active within the speed range
60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with clearly
visible lane markings/lines.
The lamps in the door mirrors flash during steer-
ing intervention, regardless of whether the
105

indicates that this has occurred via a text mes-
sage:
