Assistance at risk of collision in oncoming traffic
Assistance at risk of collision1 can assist the driver with steering assistance in order to avoid a collision with vehicles in the oncoming lane.
If drifting over to the oncoming lane
The function can assist a distracted driver who does not notice that the car is moving across into the oncoming lane.
Oncoming vehicles
Your car
The function is active within the speed range 60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with clearly visible lane markings/lines.
If the car is about to leave its own lane while an oncoming vehicle is approaching at the same time, the function can help the driver to steer the car back into its own lane.
However, the function does not intervene with steering assistance if the direction indicator is used. If the function detects that the driver is actively driving the car, activation of the function will be delayed.
Warning
Warnings and brake interventions due to an impending collision with an oncoming vehicle always come very late.
Note
This function uses the car's camera and/or radar units, which have certain general limitations.
