Acute warning with light braking
function
An acute warning is displayed when there
is an imminent risk of collision due to
the vehicle approaching another object at
a high speed.
The driver must intervene actively when
there is an acute warning. If necessary,
the driver is assisted by a minor automatic
brake intervention in a possible risk of colli-
sion.
Acute warnings may be provided even when
there has been no prewarning.
Brake intervention
The warning prompts the driver to inter-
vene. When a warning occurs, the maxi-
mum braking force is used when the brake
is applied. In order to activate the brake
booster, you must apply the brakes quickly
and forcefully. If there is a risk of collision,
the system may assist with a minor brake
intervention. When the vehicle is traveling
at a low speed, the vehicle may come to a
complete stop.
Manual transmission: during a brake inter-
vention up to a complete stop, the engine
may be shut down.
The braking intervention can be interrupted
by stepping on the accelerator pedal with
sufficient force or by actively moving the
steering wheel.
The system’s ability to detect objects may
be limited in some circumstances. Note the
limitations of the detection range and func-
tional limitations.

Safety information
Warning
Due to its limits, the system may not react,
or it may react too late or in a manner
that is not consistent with normal use.
There may be a risk of accidents or risk
of damage to property. Actively intervene
as warranted. Refer to the information in
this Owner’s Manual regarding the scope
of the system’s operation and limitations.
Detection range
The system's detection capability is limited.
Thus, a system response might not come or
might come late.
The following situations may not be de-
tected, for example:
– Slow moving vehicles when you ap-
proach them at high speed.
– Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front
of you, or strongly decelerating vehicles.
– Vehicles with an unusual rear view.
– Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you.
Functional limitations
The system may be limited in the following
situations:
– In heavy fog, wet conditions, or snow-
fall.
– On tight curves.
– If the camera field of view or the wind-
shield is dirty or covered.
– If the driving stability control systems
are deactivated, for instance DSC OFF.
– Up to 10 seconds after the start of the
engine via the Start/Stop button.
