  1. PS-Icon circle 1Sector 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.
