Abstract

An apparatus activates/deactivates a motor vehicle safety system during a turning maneuver. The safety system is designed to carry out a braking operation of the motor vehicle during a turning maneuver if a probability of a collision of the motor vehicle with oncoming traffic is equal to or greater than a determined threshold value. The apparatus includes a detection unit for detecting an actual driving behavior of the vehicle driver, a determining unit for determining whether the actual driver behavior corresponds to a predefined sporty driving behavior, and a control unit for deactivating the safety system prior to carrying out the braking operation when the actual driving behavior corresponds to a predefined sporty driving behavior.
