The Intersection Collision Warning with city braking function is a warning function that helps prevent accidents with cross traffic at intersections and junctions. At speeds that are common in towns and cities, the system warns the driver of a possible risk of collision and brakes automatically if necessary.
In the event of an accident, the system helps by reducing impact speed. Sensors detect the traffic situation in their detection range.
Vehicles crossing your driving direction can be detected by the system as soon as these vehicles enter into detection range of the sensors. At intersections and junctions, a warning is issued when a risk of collision with crossing traffic is detected. The system warns of a possible risk of collision with vehicles at speeds above approx. 6 mph/10 km/h. The timing of warnings may vary with the current driving situation.
Detection range:
The following situations may not be detected, for instance:
• Crossing vehicles when they are hidden, e.g. by buildings.
• Vehicles with an unusual side view.
• Vehicles in highly dynamic driving situations.
• Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of you, or strongly decelerating vehicles.
• Crossing two-wheeled vehicles.
Upper speed limit: The system responds to crossing vehicles when the vehicle speed is below approx. 50 mph/80 km/h.
