Setting a warning level (distance)
The distance set for warnings determines the
system's responsiveness and sets the distance at
which visual, audible and tangible (haptic) warn-
ings will be triggered.
To do so:
1.
Tap
Settings in the center display's Top
view.
2.
Tap My Car IntelliSafe City Safety
Warning
.
3.
Choose among
Earlier, Normal or Later.
Begin by choosing Earlier. If too many warnings
are given, change to Normal.
If the driver feels that warnings are given too
often, the warning level can be lowered. This
means that warnings will be provided later, result-
ing in fewer warnings being given.
The setting
Later should only used in exceptional
circumstances, e.g., for a more dynamic driving
style.
WARNING
•
No automatic system can be guaranteed
to function 100% correctly in all situa-
tions. For that reason, never test City
Safety by driving toward a person or
object. This could result in serious injury
or death.
•
Even if the setting
Earlier has been
selected, warnings may be perceived as
being given late, e.g., if the difference in
speed is great or if the vehicle ahead
brakes suddenly.
•
City Safety can provide a warning for a
potential collision but it can never shorten
the driver's reaction time.
•
To help make City Safety as effective as
possible, always using the setting
Earlier
is recommended.
NOTE
•
Due to local traffic regulations in certain
markets, Rear Collision Warning (RCW)
will not activate the rear turn signals.
That part of the function will be deacti-
vated.
•
The use of the rear turn signals will also
be deactivated if the City Safety warning
level is set at
Later. See also the section
"Setting a warning level (distance)" in the
article "City Safety settings."
•
If RCW detects a vehicle approaching
from behind, the seat belt pretensioners
and Whiplash Protection System will be
activated.
