without noticing that another vehicle is approach-
ing.
The function is active within the speed range
60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with clearly
visible lane markings/lines.
After automatic engagement, the driver indicates
that this has occurred via a text message:
•
Collision avoidance
assistance
: Automatic intervention
Activating/deactivating Steering
assistance upon risk of rear-end
collision
The function can be selected - the driver can
choose to have it
On or Off .
Proceed as follows to switch it off:
1. Select
Settings My Car IntelliSafe in
the centre display's top view.
2. Deselect Collision Avoidance Assistance .
> The function is then disengaged.
NOTE
When the Collision Avoid. Assistance
function is deactivated, all subfunctions are
switched off:
•
Steering assistance at risk of lane depar-
ture
•
Steering assistance at risk of oncoming
collision
•
Steering assistance at risk of rear-end
collision
Even though it is possible to deactivate the
function, it is advisable for the driver to always
have it activated since it improves driving
safety in most cases.
Limitations for steering assistance
upon risk of rear-end collision
In certain situations the function may have limited
functionality and fail to intervene e.g.:
•
for small vehicles, such as motorcycles
•
if the majority of the car has steered into the
adjacent lane
•
on roads/in lanes with unclear or non-exis-
tent lane markings
•
outside the speed range 60-140 km/h
(37-87 mph).
Other demanding situations can include:
•
road works
•
winter road conditions
•
narrow roads
•
poor road surface
•
a very “sporty” driving style
•
poor weather with reduced visibility.
WARNING
•
The "Steering assistance at risk of rear-
end collision" subfunction is supplemen-
tary driver support intended to improve
driving safety – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
•
Steering assistance is only activated if
there is a high risk of collision – you must
therefore never wait for the function to
intervene.
•
The function is not a substitute for the
driver's attention and judgement. The
driver is always responsible for ensuring
the car is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
