Driver intervention prompt
If the emergency assist detects that the driver is
not actively doing anything, he or she is promp-
ted to take control of the vehicle by audio
warnings and a brief application of the brake. In
addition, a warning is shown on the instrument
cluster display and the volume of the infotain-
ment system is lowered.
Depending on the equipment, the driver’s seat
belt is tightened at the same time.
System intervention
If the driver does not react, the system can
brake the vehicle and keep it in its lane. The fol-
lowing control lamp lights up on the instrument
cluster display:
The system is regulating.
You can cancel the adjustment at any time by
moving the steering wheel, over-accelerating
or braking.

WARNING
The smart technology fitt
ed into the Emer-
gency Assist cannot overcome the limits im-
posed by the laws of physics; it only works
within the limits of the system. The driver is
responsible for driving the vehicle.
●
Adapt your speed and safety distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
the visibility, weather, road and trac condi-
tions.
●
The Emergency Assist cannot always avoid
accidents or serious injuries by itself.
●
If the radar sensor or the camera are cov-
ered or have been altered or damaged, the
system may intervene on the brakes or on the
direction in an inappropriate manner.
●
The Emergency Assist does not react to
people or animal or vehicles crossing your
path or which approach you head-on in the
same lane.
WARNING
If the Emergency Assist Intervenes inoppor-
t
unely, serious accidents and injuries may
occur.
●
If the vehicle behaves dierently than
expected, interrupt the intervention of the
Emergency Assist by over-accelerating,
braking or moving the steering wheel.
●
Do not use Travel Assist or Lane Assist.
Have the system checked by a specialised
workshop.
