Intervention with steering assistance and braking

Brake intervention helps in situations where

steering assistance alone is not sufficient. The

brake force is adapted automatically depend-

ing on the situation at the time of road run-off.

The function is active within the speed range

65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) on roads with

clearly visible lane markings/lines.

The function can assist by guiding the car back to its

own lane.

Oncoming vehicles

Your car

A camera scans the edges of the road and the

painted side markings. If the car is about to

leave the side of the road, the car is steered

back onto the road and if the steering inter-

vention is not enough to avoid run-off, the

brakes are also activated.

At the same time as steering intervention is

activated, collision warning for driver support

is also activated. However, the brake pulse

included in the collision warning will not be

activated.

However, the function does not intervene with

either steering assistance or brake interven-

tion if the direction indicators are used. And if

the function detects that the driver is actively

lane.

Steering assistance upon risk of

rear-end collision*

Steering assistance has a number of subfunc-

tions. Steering assistance if there is a risk of

rear-end collision can help a distracted driver

who does not notice that the car is about to

leave its own lane while an oncoming vehicle

is approaching at the same time, either from

behind or in the blind spot.

The function can even assist if the driver inten-

tionally changes lanes using direction indica-

tors without noticing that another vehicle is

approaching.

If the car is about to leave its own lane while

an oncoming vehicle is approaching at the

same time, the function can help the driver to

steer the car back into its own lane.

The function is active within the speed range

60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with

clearly visible lane markings/lines.

However, the function does not intervene with

steering assistance if the direction indicator is

used. And if the function detects that the

driver is actively driving the car, activation of

the function will be delayed.

The lamps in the door mirrors flash during

steering intervention, regardless of whether

the BLIS⁹⁴function is activated.

•

Immediately before a collision from behind,

this function may also activate the foot brake

in order to reduce the forward acceleration of

the car during the collision. However, the foot

brake is only activated if the car is stationary.

The foot brake releases immediately if the

accelerator pedal is depressed.
