OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Stationary Vehicle Braking (SVB)
• Typically available above 24km/h
Fusion’s Stationary Vehicle Braking (SVB) is designed to be ready to react
to the presence of stationary vehicles in front of your vehicle (whether or
not cruise control is set, as long as your vehicle is traveling above 24km/h.)
See the DARK GREY area in the diagram on page 159.
The system provides you with an alert before an intervention occurs.
You must immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen the severity of,
a collision.
As part of the collision mitigation system, when a large, stationary,
metallic object in your vehicle’s lane of travel is definitively identified
as a vehicle, the driver is notified up to three and a half (3.5) seconds
before impact.
If the driver does not take action to address the potential
impact that caused the alert, the Fusion system can automatically engage
the brakes to assist the driver in reducing the severity of or potentially
avoiding a collision with that stationary vehicle.
If the system cannot definitively identify the stationary object as a vehicle
— for example, if the vehicle is not a licensed motorized vehicle, or certain
types of trailers — the driver will get up to three (3) seconds of alert to
address the situation ahead; no automatic braking will be applied.
Stationary Vehicle Braking is most useful when approaching a line of
stopped traffic or a stalled vehicle that is not immediately recognized by
the driver. Without the automatic alert and braking, it may be too late to
avoid impact.
