Adaptive Cruise Control and collision warning

P5-1546-Pilot Assist Princip m Koll-varning
Collision warning light on the windshield1.

Adaptive Cruise Control utilizes approx. 40% of the vehicle's braking capacity. If a situation requires more braking force than the Adaptive Cruise Control can provide, and if the driver does not apply the brakes, a warning light and audible warning signal will be activated to alert the driver that immediate action is required.

 Note

Visual warnings on the windshield may be difficult to notice in cases of strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or is not looking straight ahead.

 Warning

Adaptive Cruise Control only issues a warning for vehicles detected by its radar unit – thus, a warning may come after a delay or not at all.
  • Never wait for a warning. Apply the brakes when necessary.
