Semi-automatic vehicle control in a medical emergency (Emergency
Assist)
Introduction
Emergency Assist can recognize driver
inactivity and can automatically keep
the vehicle in its lane and, if necessary,
slow it down to a stop. The system can
hereby actively help to avoid an
accident or reduce the consequences of
an accident.
Emergency Assist system limitations
Emergency Assist detects driving situations using the same sensor technology as the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lan
Keeping System (Lane Assist).
WARNING
Emergency Assist is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Emergency
Assist cannot detect all driving situations and may not react, may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not
desired. Emergency Assist also cannot always avoid accidents and serious injury by itself. If you are careless, there is a
risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.
Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the
vehicle.
Observe the system limitations of ACC ⇒ ACC system limitations and Lane Assist ⇒ Lane Assist system
limitations.
Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and traffic
conditions.
If the vehicle behaves unexpectedly, stop the intervention by Emergency Assist.
