| Available Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking on 2019 model year or newer
Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle. While Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking may be especially helpful in unexpected situations, it does not replace the driver, and has limitations, including vehicles moving in different directions and certain weather conditions. See owner’s manual for system limitations.
|
VO: Your vehicle may be equipped with a unique system designed to help detect and potentially avoid frontal-collision situations with other vehicles and pedestrians.
VO: Let me tell you about it.
|
|
|
VO: Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking is a driver-assist system that monitors the road ahead of you while driving.
VO: It even works at night when your vehicle’s lights are on.
|
| Pre-Collision Assist is active at approximately 3 mph. Pedestrian Detection is active up to 50 mph.
Pedestrian Detection can detect pedestrians, but not in all conditions and does not replace safe driving. See owner’s manual for system limitations. |
VO: If a collision risk with another vehicle or pedestrian is detected, the system will deliver several warnings, and may help you slow down or stop your vehicle.
|
| The system does not detect, warn or respond to a potential collision with vehicles to the rear or sides of the vehicle.
|
VO: Here’s how it works:
VO: If you’re rapidly approaching a stationary vehicle… VO: or one that’s moving in the same direction… VO: or a pedestrian is crossing your path, the system can alert you and assist with braking in one of three ways.
|
| VO: First, you’ll receive an audible chime…
VO: along with a “Pre-Collision Assist” warning message on the Information Display.
|
|
| VO: Next, if the risk of a collision further increases after the warning alerts are given, the system’s Brake Support feature will pre-charge the brakes for rapid braking.
VO: This way they’ll respond faster once the brake pedal is pressed.
|
|
| The system does not replace the driver’s need to apply the brakes
|
VO: And finally, if the system determines that a collision is imminent, it may apply Automatic Emergency Braking without driver input to help reduce impact damage or potentially avoid a crash completely.
|
| VO: Once your brakes have been pre-charged, even if you press them lightly, the Automatic Emergency Braking feature may apply full braking force to help stop your vehicle quickly.
|
|
| Refer to “Information Displays” chapter in your owner’s manual
|
VO: One more thing: You can change the system’s alert sensitivity to one of three settings by using the 5-way control on your steering wheel and the Information Display.
|
| VO: From the settings menu, scroll to “Driver Assist”…
VO: “Pre Collision”… VO: “Alert Sensitivity”… VO: and then select “High”… VO: “Normal”… VO: or “Low.” VO: A lower setting can send fewer warnings, while a higher setting will give earlier, more frequent warnings.
|
|
| The Active Braking feature will reset to “Enabled” each time the ignition is turned off
|
VO: You can also enable or disable Automatic Emergency Braking under the same menu by checking or unchecking the Active Braking feature.
