Acute warning with avoidance
assistance
An acute warning is given when the vehicle is ap‐
proaching another object at a high differential
speed and there is an immediate risk of a colli‐
sion.
The driver must intervene personally if there is
an acute warning. The system provides support
for the driver's evasive manoeuvres if there is a
risk of collision.
An acute warning can be triggered even without
a previous advance warning.

WARNING
The system may not respond at all, or may re‐

ily.
▷ Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance.
▷ Two-wheeled vehicles ahead.
