NOTE: There is also an audible
warning, and any audio media
playing will be muted if the audible
warning signal is activated.
Setting Warning Level Distance
The warning level selected determines
the system’s responsiveness and sets
the distance at which visual and
audible warnings will be activated.
Select and activate the collision
mitigation option in the centre
display, see page 127. then select the
sensitivity level as desired.
Level Warning Distance
Low: Short warning distance,
harder braking force than
normal is required.
Normal: Normal warning distance,
normal braking force
required.
High: Long warning distance, less
braking force required than
normal, but if too many
warnings are displayed, then
change to NORMAL.
WARNING: No automated
system can be guaranteed to
function 100% correctly in all
situations. Therefore, never test
the forward collision warning/
autonomous emergency braking
by intentionally driving towards a
person or object. This could result
in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Even if the high
setting is 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.
WARNING: Forward collision
warning can provide a warning
for a potential collision, but it can
never shorten your reaction time.
WARNING: To help make forward
collision warning as effective as
possible, the high sensitivity level
setting is recommended.
Autonomous Emergency Braking
When the Autonomous emergency
braking function intervenes, the
following steps are implemented to try
and avoid a collision with a vehicle or
object in front of your vehicle:
– Collision warning: You will first
be alerted by a visual and audible
warning if there is a potential
collision with a vehicle or pedestrians
ahead, see page 119.
– Brake assistance: If required, the
pressure applied to the brake pedal
by the driver is further increased by
the autonomous emergency braking
system.
– Automatic braking: To avoid a
collision if possible, or to reduce the
speed at the point of impact, full
braking force is automatically applied
by the autonomous emergency
braking system if the forward
collision warning system detects
that there is imminent danger of
a collision. The brake lights will
also flash when automatic braking
intervenes, see page 151.
