Assistance at risk of collision in crossing traffic
Assistance at risk of collision1 can help the driver when turning and crossing the path of another oncoming vehicle at an intersection.
Sector in which the function can detect oncoming crossing vehicles.
For the function to detect an oncoming vehicle on a collision course, the oncoming vehicle must first enter the sector in which the function can analyse the situation.
The following is also required:
- your car must be travelling at no less than 4 km/h (3 mph).
- your car must turn to the left in markets with right-hand traffic (or to the right in left-hand traffic).
- The oncoming vehicle must have its headlamps switched on.
The function may have difficulty in assisting the driver if, for example:
- there are slippery conditions and stability control ESC intervenes.
- the oncoming vehicle is detected too late.
- the oncoming vehicle is obscured by something.
- the oncoming vehicle has headlamps switched off.
- the oncoming vehicle drives in an unpredictable manner, e.g. abruptly changes lanes at a late stage.
Note
This function uses the car's camera and/or radar units, which have certain general limitations.
