Collision warning with Auto-brake*
Brake Support
If the risk of collision continues to increase after
the collision warning has been given, Brake
Support is activated. Brake Support prepares
the brake system to react quickly, and the
brakes are applied slightly. This may be expe-
rienced as a light tug.
If the brakes are applied quickly, full braking
effect will be provided, even if pressure on the
brake pedal is light.

Auto-brake
If a collision is imminent and the driver has not
applied the brakes or begun to steer around the
vehicle, the auto-brake function is activated
without the driver pressing the brake pedal.
Limited brake force is applied to reduce the
vehicle's speed when the collision occurs. The
driver must apply the brakes for full braking
effect.
WARNING
The auto-brake function cannot prevent a
collision but instead is intended to reduce
speed at the moment of impact. For full
braking effect, driver must apply the brakes.
NOTE
The auto-brake function is always on and
cannot be turned off.
