Assistance during collision risks – steering assistance for evasive maneuvers
Steering assistance can help the driver steer away from obstacles when a collision cannot be avoided by braking alone. Steering assistance is always active and cannot be switched off.
The function helps provide assistance by strengthening the driver's steering movements, but only if the driver has begun evasive action and the system detects that the driver's steering movements are not sufficient to avoid a collision.
The brake system is used simultaneously to further strengthen steering movements. The function also helps stabilize the vehicle after it has passed the obstacle.
The function can detect:
- vehicles
- cyclists
- pedestrians
- large animals
