G12�Driver�Assistance�Systems
1.�Introduction
1
The�range�of�existing�assistance�systems�has�been�expanded�in�the�G12�to�include�new�innovative
systems.�The�interplay�between�the�varied�and�intelligent�assistance�systems�supports�the�driver�in
every�respect;�from�making�driving�more�comfortable�to�providing�the�reassuring�feeling�of�safety
on�all�roads.
The�assistance�systems�help�to�make�the�driver's�life�easier�by:
• providing�the�driver�with�information
• prompting�the�driver�with�suggestions
• automatically�intervening�in�the�driving�process
This�information�bulletin�contains�an�overview�of�all�the�assistance�systems�used�in�the�G12:
• Camera-based�collision�warning
• Collision�warning�with�city�braking�function
• Pedestrian�warning�with�city�braking�function
• Road�sign�recognition
• Proactive�Active�Driving�Assistant
• Lane�departure�warning
• Blind�spot�detection
• Side�collision�warning
• Alertness�assistant
• Night�vision
• Camera�systems
• cross-traffic�warning
• Park�Distance�Control
• Parking�Maneuver�Assistant
• Speed�control
• Speed�limit�warning
• Steering�and�lane�control�assistant�including�traffic�jam�assistant
• Active�Lane�keeping�assistant�with�active�side�collision�protection
Identifying�road�users�driving�ahead�as�well�as�detecting�objects�and�lane�edges�are�among�the�most
important�prerequisites�for�the�assistance�systems.�This�applies�not�only�for�the�far�range�but�also�the
close�range.
The�optional�functions�available�for�the�G12�are�implemented�either�as�camera-based�systems�with�a
shared�camera�and�integrated�control�unit,�or�as�sensor�systems�such�as�ultrasonic�or�radar�sensors.
Evaluation�signals�provided�by�various�control�units�(for�example,�from�the�Advanced�Crash�Safety
Module�(ACSM))�are�also�taken�into�consideration.
For�more�information�on�the�operating�concept�of�the�assistance�systems,�please�refer�to�the�Owner's
Handbook.
