Active Driving Assistance combines stand-alone ADAS functions to help control speed, braking and steering for short periods.
Active Parking Assistance can control speed, steering and brakes to manoeuvre your vehicle into or out of a parking space.
Advanced emergency braking systems, also referred to as Automatic or Automated Emergency Braking (AEB), work to slow or stop your vehicle when approaching a stopped or slowed object.
If collision avoidance systems sense a hazard that is likely to result in a collision and the driver does not respond to an alert, Automatic or Automated Emergency Steering can steer your vehicle away from the hazard.
Blind Spot Warning alerts you if other vehicles are driving in your vehicle’s blind spots.
Collision Mitigation Support can reduce your risk of injury in a crash.
Cross Traffic Warning alerts the driver if other vehicles are approaching from either side, in front or from behind to avoid colliding with other vehicles you may not be able to see.
As you drive, Forward Collision Warning scans the road ahead to alert you to hazards that you can’t see, like pedestrians who are out of sight or vehicles stopped on the road.
Headway Warning helps drivers keep a safe following distance.
If you begin moving out of your lane without indicating, Lane Departure Warning will alert the driver so you can steer back to the centre of your lane.
Pedestrian, Cyclist and Obstacle Warning systems detect people walking or riding or slow-moving or stationary vehicles or other obstacles, helping you avoid collisions in built up areas.
Activated when you put your vehicle in reverse, Reverse Collision Warning scans for obstacles behind the vehicle.
Safe Exit Warning helps the driver or passengers avoid opening the door into the path of an approaching hazard, like a cyclist or another vehicle, in your vehicle’s blind spot, or getting out of your vehicle into the path of another vehicle.
