You can also have one or both systems switched off permanently at an
authorized dealer. Once switched off, the system can only be switched
back on at an authorized dealer.
COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:
This system is designed to be a supplementary
driving aid. It is not intended to replace the driver’s attention,
and judgment, or the need to apply the brakes. This system does NOT
activate the brakes automatically. Failure to press the brake pedal to
activate the brakes may result in a collision.
WARNING:
The collision warning system with brake support
cannot help prevent all collisions. Do not rely on this system to
replace driver judgment and the need to maintain distance and speed.
Note:
The system does not detect, warn or respond to potential
collisions with vehicles to the rear or sides of the vehicle.
Note:
The collision warning system is active at speeds above
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).
This system is designed to alert the
driver of certain collision risks. A
radar detects if your vehicle is
rapidly approaching another vehicle
traveling in the same direction as yours.
If it is, a red warning light
illuminates and an audible warning
chime sounds.
The brake support system assists the driver in reducing the collision speed
by charging the brakes. If the risk of collision further increases after the
warning light illuminates, the brake support prepares the brake system for
rapid braking. This may be apparent to the driver. The system does not
automatically activate the brakes but, if the brake pedal is pressed, full
force braking is applied even if the brake pedal is lightly pressed.
