How These Standard Features Work

Active Brake Assist

Radar- and/or camera-based monitoring can warn you of potential collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists and apply braking assistance to help avoid or reduce the severity of an impact.

ATTENTION ASSIST®

By analyzing steering inputs and other parameters, the system can recognize signs of drowsiness and encourage a break before fatigue affects your focus.

PRESAFE®

If the vehicle senses conditions that suggest an imminent impact, PRESAFE® can help tighten seat belts, adjust front passenger seat positions, and take other measures to help protect occupants.

Crosswind Assist

When strong lateral gusts are detected, targeted brake interventions on one side of the vehicle can help counteract wind forces to promote straight-line stability.

Parking Visibility

A standard rearview camera enhances low-speed maneuvering, while available PARKTRONIC® with Active Parking Assist can help guide the vehicle into suitable parking spaces on many trims.

Advanced Systems Commonly Included or Available

Blind Spot Assist with Exit Warning Assist (standard on many SUVs; availability varies by model)
Active Lane Keeping/Change Assist (availability varies)
Adaptive Highbeam Assist (often standard or included with lighting packages)
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC® (available)
360° Camera and PARKTRONIC® (availability varies)

Proactive tech: PRESAFE® anticipates certain types of impacts and readies the cabin.
Driver support: ATTENTION ASSIST® helps you stay alert on longer freeway stretches between Foothill Ranch and Irvine.
Continuous innovation: feature refinements and new capabilities arrive frequently across the lineup.
