General
Sensors record the traffic situation.
Vehicles that cross the vehicle's direction of
travel can be detected by the system as soon as
these vehicles enter the detection range of the
system.
A warning is given at road junctions and cross‐
roads if there is a risk of collision with crossing
traffic.
The system issues a warning of a possible risk of
collision with vehicles at speeds above approx.
5 km/h/3 mph. The timing of these warnings may
vary depending on the current driving situation.
