Using the Collision Warning System
WARNING: The collision warning system's brake support can
only help reduce the speed at which a collision occurs if the
driver applies the vehicle's brakes. The brake pedal must be pressed
just like any typical braking situation.
The warning system sensitivity can be adjusted to one of three possible
settings by using the information display control. Refer to the
Information Displays chapter.
Note: If collision warnings are perceived as being too frequent or
disturbing then the warning sensitivity can be reduced, though the
manufacturer recommends using the highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity would lead to fewer and later system
warnings. Refer to the Information Displays chapter for instructions on
reducing the sensitivity.
