Warning function at
intersections
Principle
The Intersection Warning function warns you
of a possible risk of collision with crossing
traffic by displaying a warning light on the in-
strument cluster. This system also brakes au-
tomatically when necessary. You can cancel
automatic brake intervention manually, e.g., by
actively moving the steering wheel.
At intersections and junctions, this system is-
sues warnings for speeds that are common in
towns and cities.
In the event of an accident, the system helps
by reducing impact speed.
The time of warnings may vary depending on
the current driving situation.
The sensors detect the traffic situation in their
detection range.
