202 Driving and parking
Active Brake Assist may cancel the brake applica-
tion when one of the following conditions is fulfil-
led:
You maneuver to avoid an obstacle
R
There is no longer a risk of collision
R
An obstacle is no longer detected in front of
R
your vehicle
Evasive Steering Assist (only vehicles with Driving
Assistance Package)
Evasive Steering Assist has the following charac-
teristics:
The ability to detect stationary or moving
R
pedestrians.
Assistance through power-assisted steering if
R
a swerving maneuver is detected.
Activation by an abrupt steering movement in
R
the event of a swerving maneuver.
Assistance during swerving and straightening
R
of the vehicle.
Reaction from a speed of approximately
R
12 mph (20 km/h) up to a speed of approx-
imately 43 mph (70 km/h).
You can prevent the assistance at any time by
actively steering.
Cornering function (only vehicles with Driving
Assistance Package)
If the system detects a risk of a collision with an
oncoming vehicle when turning across an oncom-
ing lane, autonomous braking can be initiated at
speeds below 9 mph (15 km/h) before you have
left the lane in which you are driving.
& WARNING Risk of accident despite Eva-
sive Steering Assist
Evasive Steering Assist cannot always recog-
nize 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
#
are pedestrians close to the path of your
vehicle.
System limits
Full system performance is not available for a
short time after switching on the vehicle or after
driving off. Depending on the environmental con-
ditions, it may take a few minutes before full sys-
tem performance is available.
The system may be impaired or may not function,
particularly in the following situations:
In snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, direct sunlight
R
or greatly varying ambient light, or if there is
glare.
If the sensors are dirty, fogged up, damaged or
R
covered.
If the sensors are impaired due to interference
R
from other radar sources, e.g. strong radar
reflections in parking garages.
If a loss of tire pressure or a defective tire has
R
been detected and displayed.
