The br
akes may be applied automatically and
the function deactivated in the following situa-

The steering wheel is grabbed. The vehicle
brakes automatically until it stops.

If the button
is pressed during the manoeu-
vr

WARNING
The quickly turning steering wheel can cause
serious injuries.
●
Do not hold the steering wheel during the
manoeuvr

Exception: If a dangerous situation occurs,
intervene and take over the steering.

Never allow the automatic operation of
br
akes to lead you to take any risk that com-
promises safety. The system is not a replace-
ment for driver awareness.
