Principle
There is a risk of an accident with oncoming ve‐
hicles when turning across the oncoming lane.
The system may prevent such accidents. If an
accident cannot be avoided, the system helps to
reduce the collision speed.
The system can issue a warning of a possible
risk of collision and may activate the brakes inde‐
pendently.
General

ings may vary depending on the current driving
