Icon Measure
Icon lights up red: prewarning.
Brake and increase distance.
Symbol flashes red and an acous-
tic signal sounds: acute warning.
Brake and make an evasive ma-
neuver, if necessary.
Prewarning
This prewarning is provided, for instance
when there is impending risk of a collision
or the distance to the vehicle ahead is too
small.
If a prewarning is provided, respond by
braking as warranted.
Acute warning with light braking
function
An acute warning is displayed when there
is an imminent danger of collision due to
the vehicle approaching another object at a
high speed.
The driver must intervene actively when
there is an acute warning. If necessary, the
driver is assisted by a minor automatic
brake intervention in a possible risk of colli-
sion.
Acute warnings may be provided even when
there has been no prior warning.
Brake intervention
The warning prompts the driver to inter-
vene. When a warning occurs, the maxi-
mum braking force is used when the brake
is applied. In order to activate the Brake As-
sistant function, you must apply the brakes
quickly and forcefully. If there is a risk of
collision, the system may assist with a mi-
nor brake intervention. When the vehicle is
traveling at a low speed, the vehicle may
come to a complete stop.
Manual transmission: during a brake inter-
vention up to a complete stop, the engine
may be shut down.
The brake intervention can be interrupted
by stepping on the accelerator pedal or by
actively moving the steering wheel.
The system’s ability to detect objects may
be limited in some circumstances. Refer to
the information in this Owner’s Manual re-
garding the limitations of the system and
actively intervene as warranted.

Safety information
Warning
The system is designed to operate in cer-
tain conditions and circumstances. Due to
conditions or other factors, the system
may not respond. There may be a risk of
accident or risk of damage to property. Ac-
tively intervene as warranted. Refer to the
information in this Owner’s Manual re-
garding the scope of the system’s opera-
tion and limitations.
Detection range
The system's detection capability is limited.
Thus, a system response might not come or
might come late.
The following situations may not be de-
tected, for example:
– Slow moving vehicles when you ap-
proach them at high speed.
– Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front
of you, or strongly decelerating vehicles.
– Vehicles with an unusual rear view.
– Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
