Driving support systems

The car is equipped with different driver support systems which can assist the driver in different situations, either actively or passively.
Updated 06/08/2023

The systems can, for example, help the driver to hold a set speed or a certain time interval to the vehicle in front, prevent a collision by warning the driver and brake the car or help the driver to park.

Some of the systems are fitted as standard, while others are options. This also varies depending on market.

The BLIS function is intended to help the driver detect vehicles diagonally behind and to the side of the car so as to provide assistance in heavy traffic on roads with several lanes in the same direction.

City Safety™

City Safety can alert the driver using a visual, acoustic and brake pulse warning to help him/her detect pedestrians, cyclists, larger animals and vehicles that suddenly appear - the car then attempts to brake automatically unless the driver acts within a reasonable time him/herself.

Cross Traffic Alert

CTA with auto-brake is a driver support that supplements BLIS and is designed to help the driver detect traffic crossing behind the car when it is reversing. The auto-brake subfunction can stop the car in the event of a risk of collision with an unobserved vehicle.
