ing on both sides of the vehicle.
Troubleshooting
Emergency Assist not available
The control lamp switches on yellow. A rele-
vant warning is also displayed on the instru-
ment panel screen.
The field of vision of the camera is dirty.
Clean the windscreen.
The visibility of the camera is diminished
due to weather factors, e.g. snow, or deter-
gent residue or some coating. Clean the
windscreen.
The visibility of the camera is diminished
due to accessories or adhesives. Leave the
area around the camera’s field of vision free.
The camera has been altered or damaged,
e.g. because of damage caused to the wind-
screen. Check for visible damage.
There is a fault or a defect. Turn the drive
system off and on again.
If the fault continues, disconnect the Emer-
gency Assist and consult a specialised work-
shop.
WARNING
The smart technology fitted into the Emer-
gency Assist cannot o
vercome the limits
imposed 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 traffic con-
ditions.
The Emergency Assist cannot always
avoid accidents or serious injuries by itself.
If possible, do not wear gloves while driv-
ing. The system could interpret this as no
driving activity.
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 v
ehicle behaves differently than ex-
pected, 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.
Note
Aut
omatic interventions by the Emergen-
cy Assist on the brakes may be interrupted
by pressing the accelerator or brake or by
moving the wheel.
Hazard warning lights that come on auto-
matically can be switched off by pressing
the accelerator or the break, moving the
steering wheel or pressing the hazard
warning light switch.
If this occurs, the Emergency Assist may
decelerate the vehicle until it comes to a
complete stop.
When the Emergency Assist is activated,
it is only available again after the ignition
has been switched off and back on again.
