Collision Warning
The radar sensor and the camera work together
to detect a pedestrian, a cyclist, stationary vehi-
cles and vehicles that are moving in the same
direction as your vehicle. If there is a risk of colli-
sion with a vehicle, a cyclist or a pedestrian, the
driver is alerted by a flashing red warning light
and an audible warning signal. The system is
active at speeds above 3 mph (4 km/h).
Brake Support
If the risk of collision continues to increase after
the collision warning has been given, Brake Sup-
port is activated. Brake Support prepares the
brake system to react quickly, and the brakes are
applied slightly. This may be experienced as a
light tug.
If the brakes are applied quickly, full braking
effect will be provided. Brake Support also
increases brake force if the system determines
that the driver has not applied adequate pressure
on the brake pedal.
Auto-brake
If a collision is imminent and the driver has not
applied the brakes or begun to steer around the
vehicle, pedestrian or a cyclist, the auto-brake
function is activated without the driver pressing
the brake pedal. Full brake force is applied to
help reduce the vehicle’s speed when the colli-
sion occurs or limited brake force is applied if this
is sufficient to avoid the collision.
NOTE
The auto-brake and brake support functions
are always on and cannot be turned off.
