Assistance during collision risks in crossing traffic
Assistance during collision risks1 can assist the driver when turning in the path of an oncoming vehicle in an intersection.
Sector in which the function can detect an oncoming vehicle in crossing traffic.
In order for the function to detect an oncoming vehicle in situations where there is a risk of a collision, that vehicle must be within the sector in which the function can analyze the situation.
The following conditions must also be met:
- your vehicle's speed must be at least 4 km/h (3 mph).
- your vehicle must be making a left turn.
- the oncoming vehicle's headlights must be on.
The function may be unable to assist the driver if, for example:
- the road is slippery and Electronic Stability Control2 is intervening.
- the approaching vehicle is detected at a late stage.
- the oncoming vehicle is partially obstructed by another vehicle or object.
- the oncoming vehicle's headlights are off.
- the oncoming vehicle is moving erratically and e.g. suddenly changes lanes at a late stage.
Warning
Warnings and steering assistance due to an imminent collision with an oncoming vehicle always come very late.
Note
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain general limitations.
