Driving Aids

PRE-COLLISIONASSIST WARNINGS This system is an extra driving aid. It does not replace your attention and judgment, or the need to apply the brakes. This system does NOT automatically brake your vehicle. If you fail to press the brake pedal when necessary, you may collide with another vehicle. The Pre-Collision Assist systemwith brake support cannot help prevent all collisions. Do not rely on this system to replace your judgment and the need to maintain correct distance and speed. Note: The system does not detect, warn or respond to potential collisions with vehicles to the rear or sides of your vehicle. Note: The Pre-Collision Assist system is active at speeds above approximately 5 mph (8 km/h). E156130 The system alerts you of certain collision risks. The system's sensor detects your vehicle's rapid approach to other vehicles traveling in the same direction as your vehicle.

When your vehicle rapidly approaches another vehicle, a redwarning light flashes and a tone sounds. The brake support system assists you in reducing any collision speed by pre-charging the brakes. If the risk of collision continues to increases after the audio-visual warning, the brake support prepares the brake system for rapid braking. The system does not automatically activate the brakes, but if the brake pedal is pressed even lightly, the brakes apply full stopping power. Using the Pre-Collision Assist System WARNING The Pre-Collision Assist system’s brake support reduces collision speed only if you brake your vehicle before any collision. As in any typical braking situation, you must press your brake pedal. You can adjust the warning system's sensitivity through your information display. See General Information (page 102). Note: When possible, the manufacturer recommends using the highest sensitivity setting. If warnings are too frequent, you can reduce your system's sensitivity. Reduced sensitivity causes fewer and later system warnings. See General Information (page 102).
