WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST
Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian
Detection
Pre-collision assist detects and warns of
approaching hazards in the roadway. The
system provides multiple levels of
assistance to help avoid a collision if your
vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian or
cyclist within your driving path.
HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK
The system warns the driver of potential
hazards by providing three levels of
assistance.
E156130
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
potential hazards the system provides the
following levels of functionality:
1. Alert.
2. Brake Support.
3. Automatic Emergency Braking.
Alert: When active, a flashing
visual warning appears and an
E329466
audible warning tone sounds.
Brake Support: The system is designed
to help reduce the impact speed by
preparing the brakes for rapid braking. The
system does not automatically apply the
brakes. If you press the brake pedal, the
system could apply additional braking up
to maximum braking force, even if you
lightly press the brake pedal.

Pre-Collision Assist

(If Equipped)
Automatic Emergency Braking:
Automatic emergency braking may
activate if the system determines that a
collision is imminent.
Note: If you perceive the pre-collision assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you can reduce the alert sensitivity.
Setting the low sensitivity would result in
fewer and later warnings of a potential
forward collision. The manufacturer
recommends using the high sensitivity
setting where possible.
Note: Automatic emergency braking
performance is not affected by the
sensitivity setting.
Each system has various levels of
detection capabilities. See Pre-Collision
Assist Limitations (page 391).
