Rear Collision Warning

79
The Rear Collision Warning 80 (RCW) function
can help the driver to avoid being hit by a
vehicle approaching from behind.
Drivers in vehicles behind can be warned
about an imminent collision by the function
flashing intensively with the direction indica-
tors.
If, at a speed below 30 km/h (20 mph), the
function detects that the car is in danger of
being hit from behind, the seatbelt tensioners
may tension the front seatbelts. The Whiplash
Protection System is also activated in the
event of a collision.
Immediately before a collision from behind,
this function may also activate the foot brake
in order to reduce the forward acceleration of
the car during the collision. However, the foot
brake is only activated if the car is stationary.
The foot brake releases immediately if the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
This function is activated automatically each
time the engine is started.
WARNING
•
The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.
•
The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate
to this function to learn about factors
such as its limitations and what the
driver should be aware of before using
the system.
•
Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.

In certain cases the Rear Collision Warning
(RCW) may have difficulty helping the driver
in the event of a collision risk.
This can, for example, be if:
•
the vehicle approaching from behind is
detected too late
•
the vehicle approaching from behind
changes lane at the last moment
•
a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is con-
nected to the car's electrical system - the
function is then deactivated automatically.
NOTE
In certain markets, RCW does not give a
warning with the direction indicators due
to local traffic regulations - in such cases,
this part of the function is deactivated.
