Collision warnings and mitigation
- Forward collision warnings
- Warnings about vehicles cutting across your lane
Note
Safety interventions
If an urgent enough collision risk is identified, the car can intervene to avoid or mitigate the collision without any preceding collision warnings. The warnings will then instead be shown simultaneously to the intervention.
Warning
Forward collision warnings
Forward collision warnings can occur if you are getting too close to a vehicle in front of you. The car warns you if it identifies a collision risk that requires your immediate attention.
The situation and level of urgency affect how forward collision warnings are communicated. Warnings can be communicated visually in the head-up display, with sound and brake pulses.
Your car can also provide you with distance warnings in the head-up display to help you maintain a safe distance to vehicles ahead.
Warnings about vehicles cutting across your lane
Your car can warn you if you are about to be cut off, such as when a vehicle changes lanes just in front of you. Vehicles that swerve or move unpredictably in adjacent lanes can trigger these warnings as well. Your car uses messages in the driver display to warn you in these situations.
Note
Collision response
If a collision cannot be avoided, the car can respond in other ways to protect occupants and reduce the danger to surrounding traffic. Read more about these features in the safety section of this manual.
