Safety
Attentive helpers on board.
Driver assistance systems like Active Brake Assist 6 or Active Sideguard Assist 2 provide extra safety in city traffic – when turning at complex intersections, manoeuvring or in stop‑and‑go traffic, where every yard counts.
Active Brake Assist already fulfils the AEBS (Advanced Emergency Braking System) legislation, which will come into force in September 2028. The 270‑degree fusion technology features enhanced environment detection. This enables the system to react even faster to critical situations. As a result, greater accident prevention can be achieved for vehicles up to 90 km/h as well as for pedestrians and cyclists up to 60 km/h. The system now also clearly indicates if it is not yet fully active.
The advanced, second generation of Active Sideguard Assist can support drivers across the entire speed range when changing lanes or turning with restricted visibility. What’s more, the two-stage warning system can alert drivers to potential hazards so that they can mitigate a critical traffic situation in good time.
Front Guard Assist can increase driving safety even before you set off: it monitors the traffic area in front of the vehicle and supports you in the speed range up to 15 km/h, e.g. when the vehicle is stationary, when moving off or at junctions. If the system detects moving objects in front of the vehicle, such as people, the warning system can help you react in good time with a two-stage hazard warning.
Attention Assist 2 can help to prevent accidents in the event of driver inattentiveness or fatigue by means of visual and acoustic warnings. Using an integrated camera, it records the driver’s visual attention based on their viewing angle as well as the driver’s level of fatigue. All data remains inside the vehicle.
Maintain a safe distance: Proximity Control Assist can monitor the distance to the vehicle in front and automatically adjust your speed. Additionally, Predictive Powertrain Control can proactively regulate the distance as needed to take advantage of momentum phases – without dropping below the safe distance.
