General information
The emergency stop function is not triggered
automatically. The emergency stop function can
only be triggered manually by the occupants.
When the system is activated, the vehicle is
brought to a standstill in its own lane by use of
lane guidance.
Depending on the equipment version and na‐
tional market version, the system includes a lane
change function.
