Steering assistance at risk of collision
The Collision avoidance assistance function is intended to help the driver reduce the risk of the vehicle inadvertently veering from the traffic lane and/or colliding with another vehicle or obstacle by actively steering the vehicle back into the lane and/or swerving out of the way.
Collision avoidance assistance consists of three sub-functions:
- Run-Off Mitigation with steering assistance
- Steering assistance during collision risks from oncoming traffic
- Steering assistance during collision risks from behind*
After the system has automatically intervened, this text message will appear in the instrument panel:
- Collision avoidance assistance – Automatic intervention
Note
It is always the driver who must decide how much the vehicle should be in control – the vehicle can never take command.
