Forward Collision Warning
Forward collision warning operates
in conjunction with the autonomous
emergency braking system and alerts
the driver to take action if the system
detects that there is a high risk that
their vehicle is about to crash into a
vehicle or pedestrian in front of them,
automatically applying the brakes if the
driver cannot react quickly enough.
WARNING: This function is a
supplementary driver assistance
system, intended to make driving
safer, it cannot function in certain
traffic, weather or road conditions.
The forward collision warning system
is active between 5 and 111 mph and
up to 40 mph for pedestrians. As a
safety measure, the maximum speed
reduction is 30 mph.
Forward collision warning is selected/
deselected from the Car Settings →
Driver Support → Collision Avoidance →
Collision Mitigation menu in the centre
display, see page 127.
WARNING: Deselecting the
forward collision warning system
will also cancel the autonomous
emergency braking system, see
page 120.
NOTE: The forward collision
warning and autonomous
emergency braking systems are
not available if either ESC ‘Off’ or
track mode are selected, see page
