Introduction to the topic

Emergency Assist can detect a lack of activity on the part of the driver and keep the vehicle in the lane

automatically, or brake the vehicle to a standstill if required. The system can therefore actively contribute to

preventing or reducing the consequences of an accident.

System limits of Emergency Assist

Emergency Assist detects driving situations with the same sensors as the Adaptive Cruise ControlA( CC

) and the lane keeping system(Lane Assist).

WARNING

Emergency Assist cannot replace the driver’s attention and operates only within the limits of the system.

Emergency Assist cannot detect all driving situations and may not react or may react with a delay or in an undesired

way. In addition, Emergency Assist cannot always independently prevent accidents. If you do not pay due attention,

there is a risk of accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.

● Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is always responsible for all

driving tasks.

● Observe the system limits of ACC (→ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)) and Lane Assist (→ Lane keeping system

(Lane Assist)).

● Adapt your speed and the distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.

● If the vehicle behaves differently than expected, cancel the intervention of Emergency Assist.

Driving with Emergency Assist

Prerequisites

Emergency Assist is always switched on after the ignition is switched on and is ready to intervene if the following

prerequisites are met:

—The lane keeping system(Lane Assist) or semi-automated driving assistance (Travel Assist)function is switched on.

—The system has detected at least one road lane marking on the left or right of the vehicle.

If there is a system fault, Emergency Assist is not

available.

Driver intervention prompt

If there is no driver activity, Emergency Assist prompts the driver to take control of the vehicle by acoustic warnings

and by a braking jolt. A message is also displayed on the instrument cluster display and the volume of the

Infotainment system is reduced.

Depending on equipment, the proactive occupant protection system is triggered at the same time.

System intervention

If the driver does not respond, the system can brake the vehicle and keep it in lane if road lane markings are detected.

Depending on the driving situation, one of the following indicator lamps lights up on the instrument cluster:

System performing control intervention, adaptive lane guidance active.

System performing control intervention, adaptive lane guidance passive.

You can cancel control at any time by accelerating, braking or steering strongly as appropriate for the driving

situation.

Other road users will be warned as follows when Emergency Assist is actively performing control interventions:

—The hazard warning lights will be switched on after a short time.

—The vehicle horn will sound, depending on the speed.

If the remaining stopping distance is sufficient, the vehicle will be braked to a standstill if necessary.

The following will happen as soon as the vehicle is stationary:

—The electronic parking brake is switched on.

—The doors will be unlocked.

—The interior lighting will be switched on.

—An emergency call will be made, depending on the vehicle equipment.
