Enabling AMG Emergency Assist functions via the steering wheel is typically a matter of activating certain safety and driver assistance systems designed to provide support during emergency situations. While the specific features and functions available may vary depending on your particular AMG model, the general process involves using steering wheel-mounted controls or buttons to access and engage these systems.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to enable AMG Emergency Assist functions via the steering wheel:

1. Understand the Key Emergency Assist Features

Some of the AMG Emergency Assist functions might include:

• Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): Applies the brakes automatically to prevent or mitigate a collision.
• Active Brake Assist: Warns the driver of an impending collision and may intervene if the driver does not react.
• Lane-Keeping Assist: Helps to prevent unintended lane departure.
• Attention Assist: Monitors the driver's attention levels and provides alerts if it detects signs of drowsiness or inattention.
• Pre-Safe® System: A Mercedes-Benz feature that prepares the car for an imminent collision by adjusting seating, closing windows, and securing the seatbelt.

2. Locate Emergency Assist Controls on the Steering Wheel

In AMG vehicles, the steering wheel controls for safety and assistance systems are typically placed on or near the wheel. These may include:

• Buttons or dials for adjusting driving modes or assistance systems.
• Menu navigation buttons to access vehicle settings or safety systems via the display screen.
• Tactile or touch-sensitive controls that allow you to scroll through options or activate functions directly.

3. Activate Emergency Assist via the Steering Wheel

• Access the Vehicle's Driver Assistance Menu:
  1. Use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the vehicle settings or driver assistance menu on the digital display (instrument cluster or infotainment screen).
  2. On the display, select Driver Assistance or a similar option to see a list of available safety systems.
• Activate the Desired Assist Functions:
  1. Active Brake Assist:
     • Locate the Active Brake Assist button on the steering wheel (if equipped) and toggle it to On. Alternatively, use the menu navigation buttons to enable this system in the driver assistance settings.
  2. Lane-Keeping Assist:
     • Enable Lane Keeping Assist through a steering wheel button, usually represented by an icon of a car lane or steering wheel. Toggle this system to On.
  3. Attention Assist:
     • If your vehicle has Attention Assist, enable it by navigating to the system settings and turning it on via the steering wheel controls. The system may activate automatically after a certain amount of driving time.
  4. Pre-Safe® System:
     • The Pre-Safe® system is often activated automatically when the vehicle detects a potential collision. In some cases, the system may need to be enabled via the infotainment system or directly via the steering wheel control if needed.

4. Monitor System Feedback

• Once activated, the AMG Emergency Assist systems should provide feedback on the instrument cluster display or head-up display.
• These systems may send warnings, visual indicators, or audible alerts if they detect potential dangers (e.g., if you're approaching another vehicle too quickly or veering out of your lane).

5. Customizing the Settings (If Available)

Many AMG models allow customization of Emergency Assist settings:

• Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity of the Active Brake Assist or Lane-Keeping Assist via the steering wheel controls or the infotainment system.
• Alert Settings: Choose whether you want to receive visual or audible warnings for systems like Attention Assist or Active Brake Assist.

6. Ensure Systems Are Always Active (If Desired)

• Some AMG models may allow the Emergency Assist systems to be permanently enabled or automatically activated when the vehicle is started. Check the settings in the infotainment system or driver assistance menu to ensure these systems are always active for added safety.

7. Deactivate or Adjust Emergency Assist Systems (if needed)

• If you wish to deactivate or adjust these functions, you can typically do so via the same steering wheel controls or the vehicle's settings menu. Simply follow the same steps to toggle the systems off or adjust their sensitivity.

Important Notes:

• Steering wheel buttons may vary by model and year, and AMG may provide a more advanced or specialized set of features in certain vehicles.
• In some AMG models, many of the emergency features, such as Pre-Safe®, are activated automatically when the vehicle detects an impending danger, so they may not require manual intervention.

By using the AMG steering wheel controls, you can efficiently manage the Emergency Assist functions, which contribute to improved safety and driver assistance in critical situations. Always ensure these systems are active when driving, especially in high-speed or hazardous conditions, to maximize vehicle safety.
