IntelliSafe - driver support

Support

IntelliSafe includes driver support functions such as Adaptive cruise control* which helps the driver to maintain an even speed combined with a preselected time interval to the vehicle ahead.

Pilot Assist1 helps the driver keep the vehicle in the current traffic lane by providing steering assistance and maintaining an even speed and a set time interval to the vehicle ahead.

Park Assist Pilot* helps the driver pull into and out of parking spaces.

Other examples of systems that can help the driver are the Active main beam, Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)* and Blind Spot Information (BLIS)* systems.

Prevention

City Safety is a function intended to help prevent accidents. The function can help prevent or mitigate a collision with pedestrians, cyclists, large animals or other vehicles. Light, sound and pulsations in the brake pedal are provided to alert of a possible collision and help the driver act in time to prevent it. If the driver does not react to the warning and the risk of collision is determined to be imminent, City Safety can automatically apply the brakes.

Lane assistance (LKA) is another example of a function that can help prevent accidents by helping the driver - on expressways and similar larger roads - to reduce the risk of the car accidentally leaving its own lane.

The function Steering aid during increased collision risk can help the driver reduce the risk of the car leaving its lane unintentionally and/or colliding with another vehicle or obstacle by actively steering the car back into its lane and/or swerving.

Protection

To help protect the driver and passengers, the vehicle is equipped with seat belt tensioners that pull the seat belts taut in collisions and other critical situations. The vehicle also has airbags, inflatable curtains and the Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS), which helps prevent whiplash injuries.
