Function of Active Emergency Stop Assist
If the system detects that the driver has not
steered the vehicle for a considerable period of
time or has removed their hands from the steering
wheel, display 1 appears in the Instrument Dis-
play. If the driver still does not steer the vehicle,
or gives no confirmation to the system, a warning
tone sounds in addition to the visual warning mes-
sage.
If the driver still does not respond to the warning,
the Beginning Emergency Stop message appears
in the Instrument Display. If the driver still does
not respond, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
reduces the speed. The vehicle is decelerated in
stages to a standstill.
Depending on the country, at speeds below
40 mph (60 km/h) the hazard warning lights
switch on automatically.
When the vehicle is stationary, the following
actions are carried out:
R
The vehicle is secured with the electric park-
ing brake.
R
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is ended.
R
The vehicle is unlocked.
R
If possible, an emergency call is placed to the
Mercedes-Benz emergency call center.
