If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
another vehicle traveling in the same
direction as yours, the system provides two
levels of functionality:
1. Alert.
2. Active Braking.
Alert: When active, a flashing visual
warning appears and an audible warning
tone sounds.
Active Braking
: Active Braking is active
at speeds above approximately 14.9 mph
(24 km/h). Active braking may activate if
the system determines that a collision is
imminent. The system may help the driver
reduce impact damage or avoid the crash
completely.
Pre-Collision Assist Settings
Active braking turns on every time you
switch the ignition on. You cannot adjust
the Pre-Collision Assist settings.
Note: We recommend that you switch the
system off if you install a snow plow or
similar object in such a way that it may
block the radar sensor. Your vehicle
remembers the system status across key
cycles. Blocked Sensors
Radar sensor.

The information display shows a blocked
sensor message to indicate a sensor
obstruction. The radar sensor is located
behind the bumper and mounted to the
frame below the center of the grille. If you
install a snow plow or similar object, you
may block the radar sensor. With a blocked
sensor, the Pre-Collision Assist system
may not function, or performance may
reduce. The following table lists possible
causes and actions for when this message
displays.

BRAKES WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to

Brake Support: The system is designed
to help reduce the impact speed by
preparing the brakes for rapid braking. The
system does not automatically apply the
brakes. If you press the brake pedal, the
system could apply additional braking up
to maximum braking force, even if you
lightly press the brake pedal.
Active Braking
: Active braking may
activate if the system determines that a
collision is imminent. The system may help
the driver reduce impact damage or avoid
the crash completely.
Note: If you perceive Pre-Collision Assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you can reduce the alert sensitivity,
though the manufacturer recommends
using the highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity would
lead to fewer and later system warnings.
Distance Indication and Alert
Distance Indication and Alert is a function
that provides the driver with a graphical
indication of the time gap to other
preceding vehicles traveling in the same
direction. The Distance Indication and Alert
screen in the display screen shows one of
the graphics that follow. If the time gap to a preceding vehicle is
small, a red visual indication displays.
Note:
Distance Indication and Alert
deactivates and the graphics do not display
when Adaptive Cruise Control is active.
Adjusting the Pre-Collision Assist
Settings
You can adjust the following settings by
using the information display controls.
See
General Information (page 70).
• You can change Alert and Distance
Alert sensitivity to one of three possible
settings.
• You can switch Distance Indication and
Alert on or off.
• If required, you can switch Active
Braking on or off.
• If required, you can switch the entire
Pre-Collision Assist feature on or off.
Note: Active braking automatically turns
on every time you switch the ignition on.
