WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST
Pre-Collision Assist with PedestrianDetection
Pre-collision assist detects and warns ofapproaching hazards in the roadway. Ifyour vehicle is rapidly approaching anotherstationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in thesame direction as yours, or a pedestrianwithin your driving path, the systemprovides multiple levels of assistance tohelp avoid a collision.
HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK
The system warns the driver of potentialhazards by providing three levels ofassistance.
If your vehicle is rapidly approachingpotential hazards the system provides thefollowing levels of functionality:
1.Alert.
2.Brake Support.
3.Automatic Emergency Braking.
Alert: When active, a flashingvisual warning appears and anaudible warning tone sounds.
Brake Support: The system is designedto help reduce the impact speed bypreparing the brakes for rapid braking. Thesystem does not automatically apply thebrakes. If you press the brake pedal, thesystem could apply additional braking upto maximum braking force, even if youlightly press the brake pedal.
Automatic Emergency Braking:Automatic emergency braking mayactivate if the system determines that acollision is imminent.
Note:If you perceive the pre-collision assistalerts as being too frequent or disturbing,then you can reduce the alert sensitivity.Setting the low sensitivity would result infewer and later warnings of a potentialforward collision. The manufacturerrecommends using the high sensitivitysetting where possible.
Note:Automatic emergency brakingperformance is not affected by thesensitivity setting.
Each system has various levels ofdetection capabilities. See Pre-CollisionAssist Limitations (page 287).

Adjusting the Pre-Collision AssistSettings
You can adjust the following settings byusing the touchscreen controls in thepre-collision assist menu:
•Change alert and distance alertsensitivity to one of three possiblesettings.
•Switch distance indication and alert onor off.
•If required, switch automaticemergency braking on or off.
•If required, switch the entirepre-collision assist feature on or off.
•If required, switch evasive steeringassist on or off.
Note:Automatic emergency braking andevasive steering turn on every time youswitch the ignition on.
Note:If your vehicle has a radar sensor, werecommend that you switch the system offif you install a snow plow or similar objectin such a way that it may block the radarsensor. Your vehicle remembers the selectedsetting across key cycles.
Note:If you switch automatic emergencybraking off, evasive steering assist switchesoff.
LOCATING THE PRE-
COLLISION ASSIST SENSORS
Camera.1
Radar sensor (if equipped).2
If a message regarding a blocked sensoror camera appears in the informationdisplay, something is obstructing the radarsignals or camera images. If your vehiclehas a radar sensor, it is behind the fasciacover in the center of the lower grille. Witha blocked sensor or camera, the systemmay not function, or performance mayreduce. See Pre-Collision Assist –Information Messages (page 291).
Note:Proper system operation requires aclear view of the road by the camera. Haveany windshield damage in the area of thecamera's field of view repaired.
Note:If something hits the front end of yourvehicle or damage occurs and your vehiclehas a radar sensor, the radar sensing zonecould change. This could cause missed orfalse vehicle detections. Have your vehicleserviced to have the radar checked forproper coverage and operation.
