tions, Active Brake Assist can also initiate autono-
mous braking directly. In this case, the distance
warning lamp L and warning tone occur simul-
taneously with the braking action.
If autonomous braking or situation-dependent
brake force boosting has occurred, a pop-up
appears in the driver display and automatically
disappears after a short time.
If Active Brake Assist is set to
Late
ual warning stage and restriction of acceleration
are deactivated. If the situation is particularly criti-
cal, there can still be a visual warning, a warning
tone and initiation of autonomous braking.
Evasive Steering Assist
& WARNING Risk of accident despite Eva-
sive Steering Assist
Evasive Steering Assist cannot always recog-
nise objects or complex traffic situations
clearly.
Moreover, the steering support provided by
Evasive Steering Assist is not sufficient to
avoid a collision.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
#
situation; do not rely on Evasive Steering
Assist alone.
Be prepared to brake or swerve if neces-
#
sary.
End the support by actively steering in
#
non-critical situations.
Drive at an appropriate speed if there
#
the purely vis-
are pedestrians close to the path of your
vehicle.
Evasive Steering Assist has the following charac-
teristics:
Detection of pedestrians, cyclists and vehi-
R
cles.
Assistance through power-assisted steering if
R
it detects a swerving manoeuvre.
Activation by an abrupt steering movement
R
during a swerving manoeuvre.
Assistance during evasive action and straight-
R
ening of the vehicle.
F295 0057 02
Reaction from a speed of approximately
R
20 km/h up to a speed of approximately
110 km/h.
The steering support of Evasive Steering Assist
can be cancelled at any time by counter steering.
System limits
Full system performance is not yet available for a
short time after switching on the vehicle or after
driving off. As long as the functions are restricted,
the Æ warning Active Brake Assist warning
lamp can also be shown in the driver display.
Depending on the environmental conditions, it
may take a few minutes before full system per-
formance is available.
The system may be impaired or may not function,
particularly in the following situations:
In snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, if there is glare,
R
in direct sunlight or in greatly varying light
conditions.
If the sensors are dirty, misted up, damaged or
R
covered. (
