Driver Assistance Systems
ICA (Intersection Collision Assist) (
Automated Emergency Braking
System
Automated Emergency Braking provides
the driver with audible warnings, visual
warnings on the instrument cluster
display, and may apply automatic
braking when it detect a potential frontal
collision with a pedestrian or a object.

WARNING!
Automated Emergency Braking is not
intended to avoid a collision on its own,
nor can detect every type of potential
collision with pedestrian. The driver has
the responsibility to avoid a collision by
controlling the vehicle via braking and
steering. Failure to follow this warning
could lead to serious injury or death.

System Limitations
Automated Emergency Braking may
be impaired or may not function in the
following situations:
• If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to
insufficient illumination of the road,
if there are highly variable shade
conditions or in rain, snow or fog.
• If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming
traffic, direct sunlight or reflections
from other vehicles.
)
• If the windshield in the area of the
camera is dirty, or if the camera is
fogged up, damaged or covered.
• During air suspension transitions.
System Operation
The FCW provides audible and visual
warnings when a potential collision is
detected. Brake jerk and limited braking
may also be applied depending on the
specific scenario.
NOTE:
FCW system is not intended for
towing: this could lead the system to
malfunctions and/or to late reaction.
FCW monitors the information from the
forward looking radar sensor and camera
(2 more corner radar sensors are present
in the front part of the car when ICA
is equipped) as well as the Electronic
Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the
probability of a forward collision. When
the system determines that a forward
collision is probable, the driver will
be provided with audible and visual
warnings and may provide a warning
brake jerk. If the driver does not take
action based upon these progressive
warnings, then the system will provide
a limited level of active braking to help
slow down the vehicle and mitigate
the potential forward collision. If the
driver reacts to the warnings by braking
and the system determines that the
driver intends to avoid the collision by
braking but has not applied sufficient
brake force, the system will compensate
and provide additional brake force as
required.
When the system determines a collision
with the vehicle in front of you is no
longer probable, the warning messages
will be deactivated.
NOTE:
• Bad weather conditions, like strong
rain, snow, etc., can lead to reduced
system performance. Under these
conditions relevant objects will not
be detected or detected late by the
system.
• FCW is designed to react in specific
situations in typical traffic scenarios
with objects in the same lane driving
in the same direction, but under
certain conditions it can also react on
