Introduction
Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and
Pedestrian Detection is designed to assist the
driver if there is a risk of a collision with a
pedestrian, a vehicle ahead that is at a stand-
still or one that is moving in the same direc-
tion as your vehicle.
Collision Warning consists of the following
three functions:
•
Collision Warning warns the driver of a
potential collision situation.
•
Brake Support helps the driver brake
efficiently in a critical situation.
•
Auto-brake brakes the vehicle automati-
cally if a collision with a pedestrian or
another vehicle cannot be avoided and
the driver does not apply the brakes in
time or steer around the person/vehicle.
Auto-brake can help prevent a collision or
reduce the speed at which a collision
occurs.
Since Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake
and Pedestrian Detection is activated in cir-
cumstances where the driver should have
begun braking much sooner, the system will
not be able to assist the driver in all situa-
tions.
This system is designed to activate as late as
possible to help avoid unnecessary interven-
tion.
The system should not be used in such a way
that the driver changes his/her way of operat-
ing the vehicle. If the driver relies entirely on
the system, the chances of an accident even-
tually occurring increase considerably.
The Collision Warning and City Safety™ sys-
tems supplement each other. See page 162
for detailed information about City Safety™.
WARNING
No automatic system can be guaranteed
to function 100% correctly in all situations.
For that reason, never test the Auto-brake
system by driving toward a person or
object. This could result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING
•
Collision Warning does not work in all
driving, traffic, weather and road con-
ditions. It does not react to vehicles
not traveling in the same direction as
your vehicle.
•
Collision Warning does not react to
animals.
•
Warnings are only provided when the
risk of collision is high. The "Function"
section provides information about
limitations that the driver must be
aware of before using Collision Warn-
ing.
•
Collision Warning will not provide a
warning or brake the vehicle for
pedestrians at speeds above 50 mph
(80 km/h).
