System limits
Safety information
Warning
Due to its limits, the system may not react, or
it may react too late or in a manner that is not
consistent with normal use. There may be a
risk of accidents or risk of damage to prop-
erty. Actively intervene as warranted. Refer
to the information in this Owner's Manual re-
garding the scope of the system's operation
and limitations.
Detection capability
The system's detection capability is limited.
The system only takes into account objects
that are located in the detection range of the
installed sensors and are detected by the sys-
tem.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the area
is monitored by cameras or radar sensors.
Thus, a system response might not come or
might come late.

Forward Collision Mitigation
Principle
The Forward Collision Mitigation can help
prevent accidents. If an accident cannot be
avoided, the system helps reduce the severity
of the accident.
The system can issue a warning of a possible
risk of collision and activate the brakes inde-
pendently, if needed.
