WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
Pre-collision assist detects and warns of
approaching hazards in the roadway. If your
vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian
within your driving path, the system provides
multiple levels of assistance to help avoid a
collision.
HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK
The system warns the driver of potential
hazards by providing three levels of
assistance.
E156130
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
potential hazards, the system provides the
following levels of functionality:
1. Alert.
2. Brake Support.
3. Automatic Emergency Braking.
E255268
Alert: When active, a flashing visual warning
appears and an audible warning tone
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.
Automatic Emergency Braking: Automatic
emergency braking could activate if the
system determines that a collision is
imminent.
Note: If you perceive pre-collision assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you could reduce the alert sensitivity.
The manufacturer recommends using the
highest sensitivity setting where possible.
Setting a lower sensitivity would lead to
fewer and later system warnings.
Each system has various levels of detection
capabilities. See Pre-Collision Assist
Limitations (page 284).
