I checked the manual in my 2022 as well as 2021 you said you had it lists different behaviors for Active Lane Keeping Assist depending on whether you have the Driving Assistance Package. It seems it will also apply the brakes in some situations when you have the package, but less often then without the package. That said, it's definitely very subtle and I've never had harsh brakes applied in my 2022 GLE. When I drove the rental I mentioned, it was very harsh - I panicked the first time those brakes were applied.

For steering vs brakes, it's NOT about having Active Steering Assist, it's about your model year. MY 2020-2022 use brakes as per their manuals. 2023+ use steering. Sure, 2020-2022 might still differ in the way they apply brakes but it's brakes.

What if a car didn't have Active Steering at all? It would have to just use the brakes I think.

My Superduty just vibrates the steering wheel and the intensity of the vibration can be adjusted or disabled. Of course for being a "stupid" Ford it has key fob remote start among other programming MB has decided not to allow.

I mean, you can just open the manuals and check. For the US vehicles, it doesn't mention any relation to Active Steering Assist, only to Driver Assistance Package and only for some specific conditions that have nothing to do with brakes vs steering. Active Lane Keeping is currently a part of Driving Assistance Package, same as Active Steering Assist in the US, not sure how it was in prior model years. For the EU vehicles, I just don't know.
