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

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.

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.
