Assistant systems
If the Emergency Assist detects that the driv-
er does not perf
orm an
y activity, it requests
that the driver take control of the vehicle. To
do this, it emits optical and acoustic warn-
ings and causes braking jolts. The seat belt is
tightened (depending on the equipment).
The system slows down the vehicle and
keeps it in its lane.
You can cancel the adjustment at any time
by moving the steering wheel, over-acceler-
ating or braking.
While the emergency assistant is in opera-
tion, other road users are warned as follows:
●
The hazard warning lights are switched on
soon after.
●
The horn sounds (depending on the
speed).
The following happens as soon as the vehicle
stops:
●
All doors are unlocked.
●
The interior lighting comes on.
●
Depending on the features, an emergency
call (eCall) is made.
●
The electronic parking brake is activated.

Problems and solutions
SOS
Emergency Assist not available
The control lamp switches on yellow. A rele-
vant warning is also displayed on the instru-
ment panel screen.
●
The field of vision of the camera is dirty.
Clean the windscreen.
●
The visibility of the camera is diminished
due to weather factors, e.g. snow, or deter-
gent residue or some coating. Clean the
windscreen.
●
The visibility of the camera is diminished
due to accessories or adhesives. Leave the
area around the camera’s field of vision free.
●
The camera has been altered or damaged,
e.g. because of damage caused to the wind-
screen. Check for visible damage.
●
There is a fault or a defect. Switch the en-
gine off and on again.
●
If the fault continues, disconnect the
Emergency Assist and consult a specialised
workshop.
WARNING
The smart technology fitted into the Emer-
gency Assist cannot overcome the limits
imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. The
driver is responsible for driving the vehicle.
●
Adapt your speed and safety distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
the visibility, weather, road and traffic con-
ditions.
●
The Emergency Assist cannot always
avoid accidents or serious injuries by itself.
●
If possible, do not wear gloves while driv-
ing. The system could interpret this as no
driving activity.
●
If the radar sensor or the camera are cov-
ered or have been altered or damaged, the
system may intervene on the brakes or on
the direction in an inappropriate manner.
●
The Emergency Assist does not react to
people or animal or vehicles crossing your
path or which approach you head-on in the
same lane.
WARNING
If the Emergency Assist Intervenes inop-
portunely, serious accidents and injuries
may occur.
