DRIVER SUPPORT
Limitations of steering assistance
during collision risks from behind
The function may have limited functionality in
certain situations and not intervene, e.g.:
for smaller vehicles such as motorcycles
•
if more than half of your vehicle has moved
•
into the adjacent lane
on roads/lanes with indistinct or no side lane
•
markings
outside the speed range 60-140 km/h
•
(37-87 mph)
when the power steering works at reduced
•
power - e.g. during cooling due to overheat-
ing (see section "Speed-dependent steering
force").
Functionality may also be reduced in other situa-
tions, such as:
road work
•
winter driving conditions
•
narrow roads
•
poor road surfaces
•
a very sporty driving style
•
bad weather with reduced visibility.
•
In these demanding driving conditions, the func-
tion may not be able to properly assist the driver.
In these situations, it is recommended that it is
turned off.
