If the Emergency Assist detects that the driv-
er does not perform any activity, it requests
that the driver take control of the vehicle. To
do this, it emits optical and acoustic warn-
ings and causes braking jolts. The seat belt is
tightened (depending on the equipment).
The system slows down the vehicle and
keeps it in its lane.
When connected, the Emergency Assist is
only activated if the following requirements
are met:
