Steering assistance during collision risks limitations

Updated 2021-10-19

The function may have limited functionality in certain situations and not intervene, e.g.:

for smaller vehicles such as motorcycles
if more than half of your vehicle has moved into the adjacent lane
on roads/lanes with indistinct or no side lane markings
outside the speed range 60-140 km/h (37-87 mph)
when speed-dependent power steering wheel resistance is working at reduced power – e.g. during cooling due to overheating.

Functionality may also be reduced in other situations, such as:

road work
winter driving conditions
narrow roads
poor road surfaces
a very sporty driving style
bad weather with reduced visibility.

In these demanding driving conditions, the function may not be able to properly assist the driver. In these situations, it is recommended that it is turned off.

Warning

Warnings and steering assistance due to an imminent collision with an oncoming vehicle always come very late.

Note

The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain general limitations.
