Collision warning system*
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is activated in situations where the driver should have started braking earlier, which is why it cannot help the driver in every situation.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is designed to be activated as late as possible in order to avoid unnecessary intervention.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" can prevent a collision or reduce collision speed.
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" must not be used as an excuse for the driver to change his/her driving style. If the driver solely relies on Collision Warning with Auto Brake to do the braking, there might be a risk of a collision sooner or later.
Two system levels
Depending on how the car is equipped, the "Collision Warning with Auto Brake and Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" function may appear in two variants:
Level 1
The driver is merely warned1 of occurring obstacles by means of visual and acoustic signals - no automatic braking intervenes, the driver must himself brake.
Level 2
The driver is warned of occurring obstacles by means of visual and acoustic signals - the car is braked automatically if the driver himself does not act within a reasonable time.
