Emergency Assist intervenes if the driver becomes incapacitated. If no steering wheel movement or other driver activity is detected for a defined amount of time, a warning signal sounds. If the driver fails to react, the system initiates a short swerve. If there is still no reaction from the driver, the vehicle is automatically brought to a complete standstill, while the hazard lights are automatically activated.

The system pre-tensions the front seat belts in the event of imminent collision or in unstable driving situations when the ESC engaged and closes the side windows almost fully in order to prevent foreign objects from entering the vehicle. The system works with the front and rear radars.

If the vehicle is involved in an accident and the airbags are activated, it could remain in motion and cause another accident, which is where the Multi-Collision Brake comes in, bringing the vehicle to a standstill to prevent a pile-up.
