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.
