Steering assistance at risk of
collision
The function
Collision avoidance can help
the driver reduce the risk of the car leaving its
lane unintentionally and/or colliding with
another vehicle or obstacle by actively steer-
ing the car back into its lane and/or swerving.
The function consists of these subfunctions:
•
Steering assistance upon risk of run-off
•
Steering assistance upon risk of head-on
collision
•
Steering assistance upon risk of rear-end
collision*
After automatic engagement, the driver dis-
play indicates that this has occurred via a text
message:
Collision avoidance Automatic intervention
WARNING
•
The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.
•
The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate
to this function to learn about factors
such as its limitations and what the
driver should be aware of before using
the system.
•
Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.
NOTE
It is always the driver who decides how
much the car should steer – the car can
never take command.
