Acute warning with braking function
An acute warning is displayed when there
is an imminent danger of collision due to
the vehicle approaching another object at a
high speed.
The driver must intervene actively when
there is an acute warning. If necessary, the
driver is assisted by a minor automatic
braking intervention in a possible risk of
collision.
Acute warnings may be provided even when
there has been no prior warning.
Braking intervention
The warning prompts the driver to inter-
vene. During a warning, the maximum brak-
ing force is used. In order to activate the
Brake Assistant function, you must apply
the brakes quickly and forcefully. If there is
a risk of collision, the system may assist
with braking. When the vehicle is traveling
at a low speed, the vehicle may come to a
complete stop.
Manual transmission: during a braking in-
tervention up to a complete stop, the engine
may be shut down.
The driver may interrupt the braking inter-
vention function by stepping on the acceler-
ator pedal or by actively moving the steer-
ing wheel.
The system's ability to detect objects may
be limited in some circumstances. Refer to
the information in this Owner's Manual re-
garding the limitations of the system and
actively intervene as warranted.

Safety information
Warning
The system is designed to operate in cer-
tain conditions and circumstances. Due to
conditions or other factors, the system
may not respond. There may be a risk of
accident or risk of damage to property. Ac-
tively intervene as warranted. Refer to the
information in this Owner's Manual re-
garding the scope of the system's opera-
tion and limitations.
Detection range
The system's detection potential is limited.
Thus, a system reaction might not come or
might come late.
The following situations may not be de-
tected, for example:
–
Slow moving vehicles when you ap-
proach them at high speed.
–
Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front
of you, or sharply decelerating vehicles.
–
Vehicles with an unusual rear appear-
ance.
–
Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in
the following situations:
–
In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snow-
fall.
–
In tight curves.
–
If the field of view of the camera or the
windshield is dirty or covered.
–
If the driving stability control systems
are deactivated, for instance DSC OFF.
