Pre-Collision Assist Precautions

Pre-Collision Assist Limitations

Pre-Collision Assist depends on the detection capability of its camera and sensors. Any obstructions or damage in these areas may limit detection or prevent the system from operating.

The system is active at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h).

Pedestrian Detection Limitations

Pedestrian Detection is active at speeds up to 80 km/h.

Pedestrian Detection performs best when detected objects are clearly identifiable. System performance may be reduced in situations where pedestrians are running, partially hidden, have a complex background, or cannot be distinguished from a group.
