running pedestrians, partly obscured
pedestrians, or pedestrians that the
system cannot distinguish from a group.
Failure to take care may result in the loss
of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
WARNING: The system cannot
help prevent all crashes. Do not rely on
this system to replace driver judgment
and the need to maintain a safe distance
and speed.
Using the Pre-Collision Assist
System
The Pre-Collision Assist system is active
at speeds above approximately 3 mph
(5 km/h) and pedestrian detection is active
at speeds up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
E156130
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 design is to provide three levels of
functionality:
1. Alert
2. Brake Support
3. Active Braking
E156131
Alert: When active, the system provides a
flashing visual warning and an audible
warning sound.
Brake Support: The system design is 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.
Active Braking: Active braking may
activate if the system determines that a
collision is imminent. The system may help
the driver reduce impact damage or avoid
the crash completely.
Note: If you perceive Pre-Collision Assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you can reduce the alert sensitivity,
though the manufacturer recommends
using the highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity would
lead to fewer and later system warnings.
Adjusting Pre-Collision Assist
Settings
You can adjust the Alert sensitivity to one
of three possible settings by using the
information display control. See General
Information (page 94).
If required, you can switch active braking
off using the information display controls.
See General Information (page 94).
Note: Active braking automatically turns
on every time you switch your vehicle on.
