Warning function for turning
with oncoming traffic
Principle
To warn the driver of a possible risk of
collision with oncoming traffic when turn-
ing, the Oncoming Traffic 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 sensors detect the traffic situation in
their detection range.

“Forward Collision Mitigation”.

teraction Unit and Head-up display, depend-
