Press the toggle button upward
or downward with the system in
standby mode to set the speed
limiter to the current vehicle
speed. The set speed is stored
and displayed in the information
CENTERING
Principle of Operation
display.
WARNING: When you are going
downhill, your vehicle speed could
increase above the set speed. The
system does not apply the brakes.
Note: The set speed limiter adjusts when
the system detects a different maximum
speed limit.
Note: If the system cannot detect a
maximum speed limit, the system returns
to standby mode.
You can adjust the set speed in small or
large increments. Press the toggle button
upward or downward once to adjust the
set speed in small increments. Press and

not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.
The system allows you to limit the vehicle
speed to the maximum speed limit
detected by the speed sign recognition
system. For example, if the speed sign
recognition system detects a 80 km/h
(50 mph) speed limit, the vehicle speed is
limited to 80 km/h (50 mph). You can
temporarily exceed the set speed if
required, for example to overtake.
Note: The system does not limit the vehicle
speed to speed limits shown with a
supplementary traffic sign in the information
display.
Canceling the Set Speed
Press to cancel the set speed
limiter. The system returns to
standby mode.
Note: The speed limiter icon and the set

You significantly turn the steering
wheel in an attempt to steer around
the vehicle.
After you turn the steering wheel in an
attempt to avoid a crash with the vehicle
ahead, the system applies additional
steering torque to help you steer around
the vehicle. After you pass the vehicle, the
system applies steering torque when you
turn the steering wheel to steer back into
the lane. The system deactivates after you
fully pass the vehicle.
WARNING: The system does not
operate during hard acceleration or
steering. Failure to take care may lead
to a crash or personal injury.
WARNING: The system may fail or
operate with reduced function during
cold and severe weather conditions.
Snow, ice, rain, spray and fog can
adversely affect the system. Keep the
front camera and radar free of snow and
ice. Failure to take care may result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.

The pre-collision assist system is active
when your vehicle reaches a speed greater
than approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
Pedestrian detection is active at speeds
up to 80 km/h (50 mph).
WARNING: In situations where the
vehicle camera has limited detection
capability, this may reduce system
performance. These situations include
but are not limited to direct or low
sunlight, vehicles at night without tail
lights, unconventional vehicle types,
pedestrians with complex backgrounds,
running pedestrians, partly obscured
pedestrians, or pedestrians that the
system cannot distinguish from a group.
Failure to take care may result in the loss
of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
Note: The system is not designed to detect
animals.
Note: The system is not designed to detect
vehicles or cyclists that are traveling in a
different direction.

If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
another stationary vehicle, a vehicle or
cyclist traveling in the same direction as
yours, or a pedestrian within your driving
path, the system is designed to provide
three levels of functionality.
WARNING:The Pre-Collision Assist
system with brake support cannot help
prevent all collisions. Do not rely on this
system to replace your judgment and the
need to maintain correct distance and
speed.
Level of Functionality
Description
Alert
When activated, a warning lamp flashes and an audible
warning sounds.
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 - vehicles The system is designed to apply the brakes if it detects a
without adaptive cruise crash is imminent. This may help reduce impact or avoid the
control
crash.
The system is active at speeds up to 130 km/h (80 mph).
Active braking - vehicles The system is designed to apply the brakes if it detects a
with adaptive cruise
control
crash is imminent. This may help reduce impact or avoid the
crash.
