Crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature
If the crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature is trig-
gered in an accident, the steering column will
move upwards when the driver's door is opened.
This occurs irrespective of the position of the
SmartKey in the ignition lock. This makes it eas-ier to exit the vehicle and rescue the occupants.

actual distance from the road users traveling
behind by glancing over your shoulder.
