If your vehicle is equipped
with the Emergency Stop
Assistant
Principle
If the driver is no longer capable of driving, the
system helps to bring the vehicle safely to a
standstill.
General
The emergency stop function is not triggered
automatically. The emergency stop function can
only be triggered manually by the vehicle occu‐
pants.
If the system is activated, the vehicle is brought
to a standstill within its own lane by means of
tracking.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment and na‐
tional-market version, the system may have a
lane change function.
With lane change function: on motorways or sim‐
ilar roads, the system steers the vehicle to the
hard shoulder if possible. On other roads or in
heavy traffic, the vehicle is brought to a standstill
in the lane it is currently in.
