Assisted Driving Mode
Principle
Assisted Driving Mode enhances Distance Control with a Steering Assistant with tracking. The system helps keep the vehicle in driving lane. It does this by performing supporting steering wheel movements, for example when cornering.
General
Depending on the speed, the system orientates itself using the lane markings and vehicles driving in front.
Sensors in the steering wheel detect whether the steering wheel is being touched.
