Warning function at
intersections
Principle
At speeds that are common in towns and cit-
ies, the Intersection Collision Warning function
can warn the driver of a possible risk of colli-
sion with crossing traffic at intersections and
junctions. The system may brake automati-
cally.
In the event of an accident, the system helps
by reducing impact speed.
General information
Sensors detect the traffic situation in their de-
tection range.
Vehicles that cross your driving direction can
be detected by the system as soon as these
vehicles enter into the detection range of the
sensors.
