Function of brake application (Active Blind
Spot Assist)
The brake application function is only available
for vehicles with a Driving Assistance Package.
If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a side
impact in the monitoring range, a cour se-cor‐
recting brake application is carr ied out. This is
designed to help you avoid a collision.
The course-correcting brake application is availa‐
ble in the speed range between approximately
20 mph (30 km/h) and 125 mph (200 km/h).

tance at the side of the vehicle.
