Swerve support
The swerve assist function can help to steer the vehicle around an obstacle in critical driving situations.
If you steer to avoid an obstacle after an urgent warning, swerve assist can help you. Swerve support brakes
individual wheels and corrects your steering wheel angle while you steer the vehicle.
Speed range
Swerve assist is available in a speed range from around 30 km/h(around 20 mph) up to 150 km/h (around 90 mph).
Limits
Swerve support does not react to crossing objects and animals. Always also observe the fundamental limits of Front
Assist (→ Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist)).
