▌ Function of Active Stop-and-Go Assist
Active Stop-and-Go Assist helps you when in traf-
fic jams on multi-lane roads with separate road-
ways by automatically pulling away within up to
60 seconds and with moderate steering maneu-
vers. It orients itself using the vehicle in front and
lane markings. Active Stop-and-Go Assist auto-
matically maintains a safe distance from the vehi-
cle in front and vehicles cutting in.
Active Stop-and-Go Assist requires you, as the
driver, to keep your hands on the steering wheel
at all times so that you are able to intervene at
any time to correct the course of the vehicle and
keep it in lane.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize
dangers (

page 252).
Active Stop-and-Go Assist activates automatically
when all of the following conditions are met:

Active Steering Assist
▌ Function of Active Steering Assist
Active Steering Assist is available only up to a
speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). The system helps
you to stay in the center of the lane by means of
moderate steering interventions. Depending on
the speed driven, Active Steering Assist uses the
vehicles ahead and lane markings as a reference.
% Depending on the country, in the lower speed
range Active Steering Assist can use the sur-
rounding traffic as a reference. If necessary,
Active Steering Assist can then also provide
assistance when driving outside the center of
the lane.
If the detection of lane markings and vehicles
ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist switches
to passive mode. The system provides no support
in this case.
