Activating/deactivating Steering
assistance in the event of a risk of a
head-on collision
The function can be selected - the driver can
choose to have it On or Off.
Proceed as follows to deactivate the function:
1. Select
Settings My Car IntelliSafe in
the centre display's top view.
2.

Even though it is possible to deactivate the

Limitations for steering assistance
upon risk of head-on collision
In certain situations the function may have lim-
ited functionality and fail to intervene in the fol-
lowing cases, for example:
•
for small vehicles, such as motorcycles
•
on roads where the lane does not have clear
lane markings
•
if the majority of the car has steered into the
adjacent lane
•
outside the speed range 60-140 km/h
(37-87 mph)
•
when the power steering works at reduced
power - e.g. during cooling due to overheat-
ing (see section "Speed-dependent steering
force").
Other demanding situations can include:
•
road works
•
winter road conditions
•
narrow roads
•
poor road surface
•
a very “sporty” driving style
•
poor weather with reduced visibility.
In these demanding situations, the function may
have difficulty helping the driver correctly. In such
cases it is recommended to switch off this func-
tion.
