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.
