Emergency Assist
How it works
Emergency Assist can detect whether
ther
e is inactivit
y by the driver and can au-
tomatically keep the car within the lane
and stop it altogether if necessary. This
way the system can actively help avoid an
accident or reduce its consequences.
Emergency Assist uses the same sensors as
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane As-
sist. Therefore, carefully read the informa-
tion about the ACC
›››
page 242 and the
Lane Assist
›››
page 250 and take into ac-
count the limitations of the systems and the
indications given in the information.
