General information for both
variants of forward collision alert
9 Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic,
weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.
System limitations
The system is designed to warn only
for vehicles, but may react also to
other metallic objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle
ahead or sensor performance may be
limited:
â– on winding roads,
â– when weather limits visibility, e.g.
fog, rain, or snow,
â– when the sensor is blocked by
snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, or
windscreen damage.
