Evasive Steering Assist
& 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.
Evasive Steering Assist has the following charac-
teristics:
Detection of pedestrians, cyclists and vehi-
R
cles.
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 68 mph (110 km/h).
You can cancel assistance from Evasive Steering
Assist at any time by countersteering.
System limits
Full system performance will not be available for a
short time after you switch the vehicle on or after
you drive off. As long as the functions are restric-
ted, the Æ Active Brake Assist warning lamp
may also be shown on the driver's 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, direct sunlight
R
or greatly varying ambient light, or if there is
glare.
If the sensors are dirty, fogged up, damaged or
R
obscured. (

/
If the sensors are impaired due to interference
R
from other radar sources, e.g. intense radar
reflections in parking garages.
If a loss of tire pressure or a defective tire has
R
been detected and displayed.
In complex traffic situations where objects
R
cannot always be clearly identified.
If pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles move
R
quickly into the sensor detection range.
If road users are hidden by other objects or
R
are located close to other objects.
If the typical outline of a pedestrian or cyclist
R
cannot be distinguished from the background.
