making evasive maneuvers in certain situa-

denly appear.
General information
The system issues a warning and intervenes
to support the driver if a lateral evasive ma-
neuver is possible. Sensors monitor and detect
the clearance around the vehicle. If the system

by safely performing automatic steering move-

where appropriate.
