Driving Assistance Package)
Evasi veSteering Assist has thefo llowing charac‐
te rist ics:
R The ability todetect stationary or moving
pedestrians.
R Assis tance thro ugh po wer-assis tedsteering if
it de tects a swerving manoeuvre.
R Activation byan abrupt steering mo vement
during a swerving manoeuvre.
R Assis tance du ring swerving and stra ightening
of theve hicle.
R Reaction from a speed of appr oximately
20 km/h up toa speed of appr oximately
70 km/h.
Yo u can pr eventthe assis tance at any time by
actively steering.
Cornering function (only vehicles with Driv‐
ing Assistance Package)
If th e sy stem de tects a risk of a collision with an
oncoming vehicle when turning across an
oncoming lane, autonomous braking can be initi‐ ated at speeds below
15km/h be fore you ha ve
left the lane in which you are driving. &

function displa y.The ar rowsshow on which side
of thero ad de tected park ing spaces are located.
They are then shown in the media displa y.
The parking space can be selected as desired.
Depending on the location of the parking space,
th e parking direction (rear wards or forw ards)
can also be selec ted as desired.
When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn
signal indicators are activated based on the cal‐
culated path of your vehicle.
When you are en tering or exiting a parking
space, the procedure is assis tedby acceleration,
braking, steering and gear changes.
Ac tive Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a
substitute foryo ur attention tothe sur roundings.
The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
manoeuvring range.

arise:
R Active Parking Assist may steer too ear ly.
R The vehicle may not stop in front of these
objects.
This could cause a collision. #
Inthese situations, do not use Active
