How it works:

• The emergency assist is automatically available when the Adaptive Cruise Assist with Lane Guidance (if equipped) is activated, regardless of the vehicle speed.
• When Adaptive Cruise Assist Lane Centring is not active, the system will only be active at speeds greater than 40 mph.
• Measures may be initiated in stages. The vehicle can intervene within the limits of the system. The measures depend on the dangerous situation and the vehicle equipment:
  

 

• Visual and audio warnings
• Vehicle control
• Reduction of vehicle speed in stages
• Activates the brakes (this function is not available on all vehicle equipment levels)
• The emergency flashers are activated
• The brakes are applied until the vehicle is stationary
• As soon as the vehicle stops, the parking brake is set.
• Control can be regained at any time by moving the steering wheel, pressing the brake pedal or pressing the accelerator pedal.
