Run-off Mitigation is active at speeds between 40–87 mph (65–140 km/h) 9
on roads with
clearly marked edges or side marker lines .
Run-off Mitigation uses a camera to monitor the edges of a road and its side marker lines. If thevehicle is about to cross the edge of the road orside marker line, Run-off Mitigation will attemptto actively steer the vehicle back onto the road. Ifthe attempt to steer the vehicle is not sufficient,the brakes will also be applied. Run-off Mitigation does not provide steering or braking assistance if a turn signal is being used.If the function detects that the vehicle is beingdriven actively, Run-off Mitigation activation maybe delayed for a short time. The function has two activation levels: • Steering assistance only
• Steering assistance and braking
