Adaptive cruise assist combines the functionality of adaptive cruise control with active lane assist. Adaptive cruise assist helps the driver accelerate, brake and maintain speed and distance as well as stay in lane. This can increase driving comfort, especially on long journeys. The system maintains the speed and distance to the vehicle in front and conveniently helps the driver to stay in lane by means of corrective steering intervention in the speed range from 0 mph to its top speed. At the same time, the set speed remains constant and the system reacts to vehicles ahead by controlling the distance. The vehicle starts moving again automatically or, after being stationary briefly, its restart is initiated by the driver. Adaptive cruise assist uses the radar sensor built into the front end of the vehicle, the front camera and the ultrasonic sensors to permanently monitor the vehicle’s surroundings. The driver remains responsible for driving the vehicle and can deactivate the adaptive cruise assist at any time. In addition, the system is supported by a steering wheel with hands-on-wheel detection, which detects whether the driver has their hands on the steering wheel. In this way, the system checks whether the driver is paying the necessary attention.
Emergency assist is an extension of adaptive cruise assist or lane departure warning and detects, within system limits, if the driver is inactive. In such instances, the system provides the driver with a visual, acoustic and haptic warning. If the driver does not respond, the system assumes control of the vehicle, automatically bringing it to a stop in its own lane. The hazard warning lights are activated.

Please note: The systems work only within system limits and assist the driver. However, the driver remains responsible for driving the vehicle and is required to be attentive at all times
