R
Autonomous braking application in order to
reduce the severity of an accident
Evasive Steering Assist (only vehicles with
Driving Assistance Package)
&
WARNING Risk of an accident despite
Evasive Steering Assist
Evasive Steering Assist cannot always clearly
identify objects and complex traffic situa‐
tions.
In addition, the steering support of Evasive
Steering Assist is generally not sufficient to
avoid a collision.
In such cases Evasive Steering Assist can:
R
give an unnecessary warning or provide
assistance
R
not give a warning or not provide assis‐
tance
#
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
fic situation; do not rely on Evasive
Steering Assist alone.
#
Be ready to brake and take evasive
action, if necessary.
#
Prevent the assistance by actively
steering in non-critical driving situa‐
tions.
#
Drive at an appropriate speed if pedes‐
trians are close to the path of your vehi‐
cle.
Evasive Steering Assist has the following charac‐
teristics:
R
Detection of pedestrians, cyclists and vehi‐
cles.
R
Assistance through power-assisted steering if
it detects a swerving manoeuvre.
R
Activation by an abrupt steering movement
during a swerving manoeuvre.
R
Assistance during swerving and straightening
of the vehicle.
R
Reaction from a speed of approximately
20 km/h up to a speed of approximately
70 km/h.
You can prevent the assistance at any time by
actively steering.
Cornering function (only vehicles with Driv‐
ing Assistance Package)
If a risk of collision with an oncoming vehicle is
detected when turning, autonomous braking can
be initiated at speeds up to approx. 20 km/h.
System limits
Full system performance is not available for a
few seconds after switching on the ignition or
after driving off.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
R
In snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, if there is
glare, in direct sunlight or in greatly varying
light conditions.
R
If the sensors are dirty, misted up, damaged
or covered.
R
If the sensors are impaired due to interfer‐
ence from other radar sources, e.g. strong
radar reflections in multi-storey car parks.
R
If a loss of tyre pressure or a defective tyre
has been detected and displayed.
