Warning function for turning
with oncoming traffic
Principle
The warning function for turning with oncom-
ing traffic warns you of a possible risk of col-
lision with oncoming traffic by displaying a
warning light on the instrument cluster. This
system also brakes automatically when nec-
essary. You can cancel automatic brake inter-
vention manually, e.g., by actively moving the
steering wheel.
In the event of an accident, the system helps
by reducing impact speed.
The time of warnings may vary depending on
the current driving situation.
The sensors detect the traffic situation in their
detection range.
Safety information
Follow the safety information in Chapter “For-
ward Collision Mitigation”.
Speed range
The warning function for turning is activated
when your vehicle speed is greater than ap-
prox. 3 mph/5 km/h.
This system reacts when your vehicle speed is
less than approx. 15 mph/25 km/h.
