Collision Avoidance to help avoid impact with a vehicle in the driver's blind spot*

Updated 17/11/2023

Collision Avoidance1 can help a driver who does not notice that the car is about to leave its own lane while an oncoming vehicle is approaching at the same time, either from behind or in the blind spot.

P5-1717 - Blind Spot Information Systems with steering assistanse — The function can assist by steering the car back to its own lane.

P5-Icon red circle 1 — The function can assist by steering the car back to its own lane.

The function can even assist if the driver intentionally changes lanes using direction indicators without noticing that another vehicle is approaching.

The function is active within the speed range 60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with clearly visible lane markings/lines.

The lamps in the door mirrors flash at the same time as the steering input. An acoustic signal can also be heard.

When the function intervenes, a message is shown in the driver display.

Warning

Warnings and steering assistance due to an impending collision always come very late.

Note

This function uses the car's camera and radar units, which have certain general limitations.
