9 Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic,
weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.
Activation
The forward collision alert operates
from 3 mph to vehicle's maximum
speed.
Alerting the driver
The driver is warned by following
alerts:
● A warning message is displayed
in the Driver Information Center,
when the distance to the vehicle
ahead gets too small.
● A warning message is displayed
in the Driver Information Center
and a warning chime sounds,
when a collision is imminent and
immediate driver's action is
required.
● In some cases, the system
performs a short braking, when a
collision is imminent and
immediate driver's action is
required.
Selecting the alert sensitivity
Three alert sensitivities can be
selected in the settings of the active
emergency braking within the vehicle
personalisation 3 80.
The chosen setting will be memorised
when the ignition has been switched
off. The alert timing will vary based on
selected alert setting.
Driving and operating
Deactivation
The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency
braking in the vehicle personalisation
3 80. When ignition is switched on
next time, system is activated.
System limitations
Forward collision alert is designed to
warn on vehicles, pedestrians and
cyclists, but may react also to other
objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle
ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as
fog, rain, or snow
● the sensor in the windscreen or
the radar unit behind the front
bumper are blocked by snow, ice,
slush, mud, dirt etc.
