Operation

The radar sensor detects vehicles

ahead that are moving in the same

direction as your vehicle.

If the radar detects that your

vehicle is rapidly closing on another

vehicle a red warning light will

illuminate and an audible warning

chime will sound.

After that, if the risk of collision

further increases after the warning

light, the brake support prepares

the brake system for rapid braking.

This may be apparent to the driver.

However, the system will not

automatically activate the brakes.

The vehicle will not stop unless the driver presses the brake pedal. If the

brake pedal is pressed then braking is implemented with full brake

function, even if the force on the brake pedal is light.

The collision warning system is active at speeds above approximately

5 mph (8 km/h).

Collision warning system limitations

Due to the nature of radar technology, there may be certain instances

where vehicles will not provide a collision warning. These include:

• Stationary or slow moving vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).

• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.

• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.

• Severe weather conditions (see also blocked sensor section).

• Debris build-up on the grille near the headlamps (see block sensor

section).

• Small distance to vehicle ahead.

• Steering wheel and pedal movements are large (very active driving

style).

• High interior temperatures, which may deactivate the illumination or

the warning lamps until the interior temperature reduces (audible

warning will alert the driver).

In addition, sun load and sunglasses may reduce the visibility of the warning

lamps. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the audible warning on.
