PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGS
You are responsible for controllingyour vehicle at all times. The systemdoes not relieve you of yourresponsibility to drive with due care andattention. Failure to take care may resultin the loss of control of your vehicle, seriouspersonal injury or death.
To achieve full system performanceyou must break in the brakingsystem. See (page 160).Failure totake care may result in the loss of controlof your vehicle, serious personal injury ordeath.
The system does not react tocyclists, animals, pedestrians atnight, or vehicles that are driving in adifferent direction. Failure to take care mayresult in the loss of control of your vehicle,serious personal injury or death.
The system does not operate duringharsh acceleration or steering. Failureto take care may lead to a crash orpersonal injury.
WARNINGS
The system may or may not operateor may operate with reducedfunction during cold or severeweather conditions. Snow, ice, rain, sprayand fog can influence the system. Keepthe front camera and radar free of snowand ice. Failure to take care may result inthe loss of control of your vehicle, seriouspersonal injury or death.
System performance may reduce insituations where the camera'sdetection capability is limited. Thesesituations include but are not limited todirect or low sunlight, vehicles at nightwithout tail lights, unconventional vehicletypes, pedestrians with complexbackgrounds, running pedestrians, partlyobscured pedestrians, or pedestrians whichcannot be distinguished from a group.Failure to take care may result in the lossof control of your vehicle, serious personalinjury or death.
The system cannot help prevent allcollisions. Do not rely on this systemto replace driver judgment and theneed to maintain distance and speed.
Note:The Pre-Collision Assist system isactive at speeds above approximately3 mph (5 km/h).
If your vehicle is rapidly approachinganother stationary vehicle, a vehicletraveling in the same direction as yours, ora pedestrian within your driving path, thesystem is design to provide three levels offunctionality:
1.Alert
2.Brake Support
3.Active Braking

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Alert: When activated, a red warning lightflashes, an audible warning chime soundsand a warning message shows in theinformation display.
Brake Support: The brake support systemassists the driver in reducing the collisionspeed by lightly applying the brakes. If therisk of collision further increases after thewarning light illuminates, the brake supportprepares the brake system for rapidbraking. This may be apparent to the driver.The system does not automaticallyactivate the brakes, but if you press thebrake pedal, the system may apply fullforce, even if the brake pedal is lightlypressed.
Active Braking: Active braking may applyif the system determines that a collision isimminent. The system may help the driverreduce impact damage or avoid the crashcompletely.
Note:If you perceive Pre-Collision Assistalerts as being too frequent or disturbing,then you can reduce the alert sensitivity,though the manufacturer recommendsusing the highest sensitivity setting wherepossible. Setting lower sensitivity wouldlead to fewer and later system warnings.
Distance Alert
If the distance to the lead vehicle is small,the red warning light illuminates in thewindshield.
Note:The red light bar is smaller and doesnot flash when Distance Alert is active.
Distance Indication
Distance indication is a function thatprovides a graphical indication of the timegap to other vehicles traveling in the samedirection.
Note:Distance Alert and DistanceIndication deactivates when adaptive cruisecontrol is active. The distance indicationgraphics do not display in the informationdisplay unless adaptive cruise control is OFF.
