Assistance during collision risks in crossing traffic
Assistance during collision risks1 can assist the driver when turning into the path of an oncoming vehicle in an intersection.
Sector in which the function can detect an oncoming vehicle in crossing traffic.
In order for the function to detect an oncoming vehicle in situations where there is a risk of a collision, that vehicle must be within the sector in which the function can analyze the situation.
The following conditions must also be met:
- your vehicle's speed must be at least 4 km/h (3 mph).
- your vehicle must be making a left turn.
- The oncoming vehicle's headlights must be on.
The function may be unable to assist the driver if, for example:
- the road is slippery and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is intervening.
- the oncoming vehicle is detected at a late stage.
- the oncoming vehicle is partially obstructed by another vehicle or object.
- the oncoming vehicle's headlights are off.
- the oncoming vehicle is moving erratically and e.g. suddenly changes lanes at a late stage.
Note
The function uses the vehicle's camera and/or radar units, which have certain general limitations.
