E156130
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
another stationary vehicle, a vehicle or
cyclist traveling in the same direction as
yours, or a pedestrian within your driving
path, the system is designed to provide
three levels of functionality.
The pre-collision assist system is active
when your vehicle reaches a speed greater
than approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
Pedestrian detection is active at speeds
up to 80 km/h (50 mph).
Level of Functionality
Description
Alert
When activated, a warning lamp flashes and an audible
warning 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.
Active braking - vehicles The system is designed to apply the brakes if it detects a
without adaptive cruise crash is imminent. This may help reduce impact or avoid the
control
crash.
The system is active at speeds up to 130 km/h (80 mph).
