= An obstacle is no longer detected in front of
your vehicle.

with Driving Assistance Package)
Active Brake Assist can also react to detected

e Eva-
sive Steering Assist
Evasive Steering Assist cannot always recog-
nise objects or com
plex traPc situations
clearly.
Moreover, the steering support provided by
Evasive Steering Assist is not suPcient to
avoid a collision. 
Always pay careful attention to the tr
aPc
situation; do not rely on Evasive Steering
Assist alone. 
Be prepared to brake or swerve if neces-
sar

y. 
End the support by actively steering in
non-cr
itical situations. 
Drive at an appropriate speed if there
ar

e pedestrians close to the path of your
vehicle. Evasive Steering Assist has the following charac-
t

eristics:
= Detection of pedestrians, cyclists and vehi-
cles.
= Assistance through power-assisted steering if
it detects a swerving manoeuvre.
= Activation by an abrupt steering movement
during a swerving manoeuvre.
= Assistance during swerving and straightening
of the vehicle.
= Reaction from a speed of approximately
20 km/h up to a speed of approximately
110 km/h.
The steering support of Evasive Steering Assist
can be cancelled at any time by counter steering.

the

The system may be impaired or may not function,
par
ticularly in the following situations:
= In snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, if there is glare,
in direct sunlight or in greatly varying light
conditions.
= If the sensors are dirty, misted up, damaged or
covered. ( page 237)
= If the sensors are impaired due to interference
from other radar sources, e.g. strong radar
reOections in multi-storey car parks.
= If a loss of tyre pressure or a defective tyre
has been detected and displayed.
= In complex traPc situations where objects
cannot always be clearly identiNed.
= If pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles move
quickly into the sensor detection range.
= If road users are hidden by other objects or
are located close to other objects.
= If the typical outline of a pedestrian or cyclist
cannot be distinguished from the background.
= If a pedestrian or cyclist is not detected as
such, e.g. due to special clothing or other
objects. =
If t he driver's seat belt is not fastened.
= On bends with a tight radius.

% Speed Limit Assist uses OpenStreetMap data,
whic
h is made available under the conditions
of the Open Database License (OBbL). For
more information, see: https://
www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/licence.
Speed Limit Assist detects speed limits with multi-
function camer
a and displays them in the driver's
display and optionally in the head-up display. The
camera also detects speed limits with a restric-
tion indicated by an additional sign (e.g. when
wet).

Warning when the maximum permissible speed is
e xceeded
The system can warn you if you unintentionally
exceed the maximum permissible speed. Depend-
ing on the country, you can set in the multimedia
system by how much the maximum permitted
speed may be exceeded before a warning is given.
You can set whether the warning should be visual
(by Oashing the traPc sign in the driver display) or
visual and audible. The selection of the type of
warning is conNrmed country-speciNcally by an
indication in the driver display. 1

t he speed warning, as well as the possibility of
setting the activation threshold above which
the warning is to be triggered, are subject to

ays, can also be detected.
The system can show up to two tr
aPc signs in the
driver's display simultaneously. The system always
prioritises displaying speed limits. Up to one traf-
fic sign with a maximum permissible speed can be
shown in the head-up display. If two speed signs
are shown in the driver's display, forexample when
speed limits are detected, the value of les-hand
speed limit 1 is transmitted to the limiter, cruise
control or Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC for
adoption and is shown in the head-up display.
If Speed Limit Assist cannot determine the cur-
rent maximum permissible speed (e.g. due to
missing signs), the following display appears in
the driver's display: This is displayed continuously if the vehicle is in a
countr

y where Speed Limit Assist is not suppor-

TraPc Sign Assist
% This function is an on-demand feature
(  pag

e 22).
The tr
aPc sign assistant detects the traPc signs
with the multifunction camera and compares
them with the information on the digital road map
of the navigation system. It assists you by display-
ing detected speed limits and overtaking restric-
tions in the driver's display and in the head-up dis-
play. The system can issue a warning when you
exceed the maximum permissible speed.
In some countries, the system can provide you
with further functions and can warn you when you
are approaching pedestrian crossings or when
you are about to drive past stop signs or red lights
unintentionally. The camera also detects and analyses
tr
aPc
signs with a restriction indicated by an additional
sign (e.g. when wet).
TraPc Sign Assist portrays only selected signs in
the driver's display. Actual traPc signs and speed
limits have priority over traPc signs and speed
limits shown in the driver's display.
Also observe the following information:
= select a speed adapted to the traPc, sur-
roundings and weather conditions
= observe actual traPc signs
= observe applicable traPc rules and regula-
tions
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise

fic sign with a maximum permissible speed can be
shown in the head-up display. If two speed signs
are shown in the driver's display, forexample when
speed limits are detected, the value of les-hand
speed limit 1 is transmitted to the limiter, cruise
control or Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC for

tr
aPc signs which can be displayed
TraPc Sign Assist can detect and display following

= overtaking restrictions
= play streets

start or end of motorways and dual carriage-

t can detect following additional
signs 3 and, if necessary, analyse the relevance
of the restrictions using other vehicle sensors:
= when wet
= slippery road surfaces
= in fog
= temporary restrictions
= exits
= restrictions for car/trailer combinations
TraPc Sign Assist also uses data from the digital
street map in the navigation system. When you
leave or enter a municipality or change roads, on
a motorway exit or slip road forexample, or aser
you turn at a junction, the display in the driver's
display can thus be updated without a traPc sign
having been detected.
% Update the digital road map of the navigation
sy

stem regularly so that the traPc sign assis-
tant can work optimally.

raPc Sign Assist (coun-
try-speciNc)
Warning for no-entry signs: TraPc Sign Assist can
warn you if you drive the wrong way down a sec-
tion of road, forexample on motorway slip roads
or one-way streets.
Warning at pedestrian crossings: if you approach
pedestrian crossings, provided that pedestrians
are in the danger zone or are moving towards it,
TraPc Sign Assist can warn you up to a speed of
approximately 70 km/h.
Warning at stop signs: TraPc Sign Assist can warn
you up to a speed of approximately 70 km/h if
you are about to drive past a stop sign uninten-
tionally. For this to be possible, the signs must be
clear, forexample if the system detects more than
one stop sign, or a stop sign can be conNrmed
using the digital navigation map. No warning can
be issued if several diMerent signs are detected.
Warning at red lights: TraPc Sign Assist can warn
you up to a speed of approximately 70 km/h if
you are about to drive through a red light uninten-
tionally. 274

speeds of approximately 12 km/h and issue a
warning if they move into the monitoring range.

red. In the Assistance menu, the lamp in outside
mirror 1 also lights up red, and the lane in which
the vehicle is detected is hatched out.
