Evasive Steering Assist
& WARNING Risk of accident despite Eva‐
sive Steering Assist
Evasive Steering Assist cannot always recog‐
nise objects or complex traffic situations
clearly.
Moreover, the steering support provided by
Evasive Steering Assist is not sufficient to
avoid a collision.
#
Always pay careful attention to the traf‐
fic situation; do not rely on Evasive
Steering Assist alone.
#
Be prepared to brake or swerve if nec‐
essary.
#
End the support by actively steering in
non-critical situations.
#
Drive at an appropriate speed if there
are pedestrians close to the path of
your vehicle.
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
110 km/h.
The steering support of Evasive Steering Assist
can be cancelled at any time by counter steer‐
ing.
System limits
Full system performance is not available for a
few seconds after switching on the ignition or

restricted, the Ä warning lamp appears in the
driver's display.
The system may be impaired or may not func‐
tion, particularly in the following situations:

glare, in direct sunlight or in greatly varying
light conditions.
