Warning function in rear-end
collision situations
Principle
To warn the driver of a possible risk of col-
lision, the Rear Collision Warning function
displays a warning light on the Interaction
Unit and brakes automatically when neces-
sary. You can cancel automatic brake inter-
vention manually, e.g., by actively moving
the steering wheel.
In the event of an accident, the system
helps by reducing impact speed.
The time of warnings may vary depending
on the current driving situation.
The system considers the driver’s vehicle
handling when responding. If an active driv-
ing style is detected, warnings and brake
interventions occur less frequently.
The sensors detect the traffic situation in
their detection range.
Safety information
Follow the safety information in Chapter
“Forward Collision Mitigation”.
Speed range
The rear-end collision warning function
is activated when your vehicle speed is
greater than approx. 3 mph/5 km/h.
Interaction Unit view
