Assistance upon risk of collision
The
Collision Avoid. Assistance function is
designed to help the driver reduce the risk of the
car leaving its lane unintentionally and/or collid-
ing with another vehicle or obstacle by actively
steering the car back into its lane and/or swerv-
ing.
The Collision Avoid. Assistance function con-
sists of three subfunctions:
•
Steering assistance upon risk of lane depar-
ture
•
Steering assistance upon risk of head-on
collision
•
Steering assistance upon risk of rear-end
collision*
After automatic engagement, the driver display
indicates that this has occurred via a text mes-
sage:
•
Collision avoidance
assistance: Automatic intervention
NOTE
It is always the driver who decides how much
the car should steer – the car can never take
command.
Activating/deactivating Assistance in
the event of a collision risk
The function can be selected - the driver can
choose to have it On or Off.
Proceed as follows to switch it off:
1.
Select
Settings My Car IntelliSafe in
the centre display's top view.
2.

> The function is then disengaged.
NOTE
When the Collision Avoid. Assistance
function is deactivated, all subfunctions are
switched off:
•
Steering assistance at risk of lane depar-
ture
•
Steering assistance at risk of oncoming
collision
•

collision
Even though it is possible to deactivate the
function, it is advisable for the driver to always
have it activated since it improves driving
safety in most cases.
