Driver State Assist
Introduction
Driver State Assist can detect driver in-
a
ctivity and automatically keep the ve-
hicle in lane or also brake it to a stop if
necessary. The system can therefore
actively contribute to preventing an ac-
cident or mitigating the consequences
of an accident.
System limits of Driver State Assist
Driver S
tate Assist detects driving situa-
tions using the same sensors as Adaptive
Cruise Control and the Lane-Keeping Sys-
tem.
WARNING
Driver State Assist is not a substitute for
the full a
ttention of the driver and oper-
ates only within the limits of the system.
Driver State Assist cannot detect all driv-
ing situations and may not react or may
react with a delay or in an undesired way.
In addition, Driver State Assist may not al-
ways independently prevent accidents. If
you do not pay due attention, there is
a risk of accidents and serious injuries or
even death.
·
Always pay due attention and do not
rely exclusively on the system. The driv-
er is always responsible for all driving
tasks.
·
Observe the system limits of Adaptive
Cruise Control → page 176 and the
Lane-Keeping System → page 185.
·
Adapt your speed and distance from
the vehicles ahead to suit visibility,
weather, road and trac conditions.
·
If the vehicle behaves dierently than
expected, cancel the intervention of
Driver State Assist.
