Front-end collision with light
braking function
Principle
The system can help avoid accidents. If an
accident cannot be avoided, the system
helps to reduce the collision speed.
The system warns of the possible risk of
collision and brakes automatically, as neces-
sary.
The automatic braking intervention is done
with limited force and duration.
The system is controlled by a camera at the
base of the rearview mirror.
The front-end collision warning is also
available if the Cruise Control is disabled.
When deliberately approaching a vehicle,
the front-end collision warning and braking
intervention are activated later to avoid un-
justified system responses.
General
From speeds of approximately 5 km/h, ap-
proximately 3 mph, the system provides a
two-stage warning any possible risk of colli-
sion with vehicles. The timing of these
warnings may vary depending on the cur-
rent driving situation.
Braking intervention is permitted up to a
speed of approximately 80 km/h, approxi-
mately 50 mph.

personal responsibility to assess the visi-
bility conditions and traffic situation cor-
rectly. There is a danger of accidents.

ditions. Observe the traffic situation and

of personal responsibility. System limita-
tions can mean that warnings or system
responses are not issued or are issued too
late, incorrectly, or without justification.
There is a danger of accidents. Adapt your
driving style to the traffic conditions. Ob-
serve the traffic situation and intervene
actively if the situation warrants it.
