A sensor is mounted behind the interior rear view mirror. It continuously monitors conditions to decide when to intervene.
The system is designed to help you reduce low speed collisions into the rear of another vehicle. It will also help you reduce the impact damage or potentially avoid the collision completely.
The system operates at speeds below approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) by applying the brakes when the sensor detects that a collision is likely.
You must depress the brake pedal to obtain full braking force.
When the system is braking or has automatically applied the brakes, a message will be shown in the information display.
