Acute warning
In the event of imminent collision danger, the
light in the exterior mirror flashes and the steer‐
ing wheel starts vibrating.
Subsequently, an active steering intervention
may be executed to avoid the collision and to
keep the vehicle safely within its driving lane.
Steering intervention can be felt at the steering
wheel, and can be overridden manually at any
time.
A Check Control message is shown in the event
of a steering intervention.
