Opportunity to reduce speed with assistance during collision risks

Assistance during collision risks1 can help prevent a collision or lower the vehicle's speed at the point of impact.

If the difference in speed between your vehicle and the obstacle is greater than the speeds specified below, the automatic brake function cannot prevent a collision, but it can help mitigate its effects.

Vehicles

Braking assistance can help prevent a collision with a vehicle ahead by reducing your vehicle's speed by up to 60 km/h (37 mph).

Cyclists

Braking assistance can help prevent a collision with a cyclist ahead by reducing your vehicle's speed by up to 50 km/h (30 mph).

Pedestrians

Braking assistance can help prevent a collision with a pedestrian ahead by reducing your vehicle's speed by up to 45 km/h (28 mph).

Large animals

If there is a risk of colliding with a large animal, braking assistance can help reduce your vehicle's speed by up to 15 km/h (9 mph).

The braking function for large animals is primarily intended to mitigate the force of a collision at higher speeds. Braking is most effective at speeds above 70 km/h (43 mph) and less effective at lower speeds.
