Front-end collision warning
with city braking function
Principle
The system can help avoid accidents. If an ac‐
cident cannot be avoided, the system helps to
reduce the collision speed.
The system warns of the possible risk of colli‐
sion and brakes automatically, as necessary.
The automatic braking intervention is done
with limited force and duration.
The system is controlled by a camera in the
area of the rear-view mirror.
The front-end collision warning is also avail‐
able if the Cruise Control is disabled.
When deliberately approaching a vehicle, the
approach control warning and braking inter‐
vention are activated later to avoid unjustified
system responses.
General
The system will provide a warning from ap‐
proximately 5 km/h, approximately 3 mph in
two stages of any risk of collision with vehicles.
The timing of these warnings may vary de‐
pending on the current driving situation.
Up to approximately 80 km/h, approximately
50 mph there may be brake intervention.
