Emergency Lane Keeping

It is required on new cars in the EU. It reacts to road edges and oncoming traffic. It works even without indicators. It is one of the functions required by the EU General Safety Regulation for new cars. It intervenes more strongly than normal lane keeping assist when there is a real danger, such as drifting toward a road edge or into oncoming traffic. The driver can deactivate it for a journey, but it reactivates at the next start.

The system applies steering or braking corrections.

It is switched on at every start. It cannot prevent all accidents.
