equipment version:
automatic formation of
emergency lane
Principle
The system can help the driver to form an emer‐
gency lane in the event of traffic queues on mo‐
torways or similar roads.
As soon as the system detects a traffic queue, a
Check Control message appears on the control
display. Depending on the situation, the vehicle
will be steered to the right or left within the cur‐
rent driving lane in order to form an emergency
lane.
General
The system uses the sensors of the steering and
lane control assistant.

WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa‐

not respond independently and appropriately in
all traffic conditions. There is a risk of accident.
Adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene ac‐
tively if the situation warrants it.
The information for the steering and lane control
