Run-off Mitigation
The function of Run-off Mitigation is to assist the
driver to reduce the risk of the car accidentally
leaving the road by means of actively steering
the car back onto the road.
The function is active within the speed range
65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) on roads with clearly
visible side markings/lane lines.
A camera scans the edges of the road and the
painted side markings. If the car is about to cross
the edge of the road, Run-off Mitigation will
actively steer the car back onto the road. In addi-
tion, if steering intervention is considered insuffi-
cient to avoid run-off, brake intervention may also
be activated.
Run-off Mitigation does not intervene with either
steering assistance or brake intervention if the
direction indicators are used. If the function
detects that the driver is driving the car in an
active way, activation of Run-off Mitigation will be
suppressed for a short time.
The function has two activation levels:
•
Steering assistance only
•
Steering assistance with brake intervention
Run-off Mitigation with steering assistance
Run-off Mitigation intervenes with steering assistance.
Run-off Mitigation with steering assistance
and brake intervention
Run-off Mitigation intervenes with steering assistance
and braking.
Brake intervention helps in situations where
steering assistance alone is not sufficient. The
brake force is adapted automatically depending
on the situation at the time of run-off.
Settings for Run-off Mitigation
The Run-off Mitigation function is selectable -
the driver can select On or Off by dragging down
the centre display's top view and there searching
for the following:
Settings My Car IntelliSafe Lane
Assistance

then activated.
The current setting for Run-off Mitigation when
the engine is switched off remains the next time
the engine is started.
Limitations of Run-off Mitigation
In certain demanding conditions, Run-off Mitiga-
tion may have difficulty helping the driver cor-
rectly. In such cases, it is recommended that the
function be switched off.
Examples of such conditions are:
•
road works
•
winter road conditions
