~1min read

Active Assist

  • If the system detects a risk of collision with a pedestrian or object behind the vehicle, the system will warn the driver with an audible alert, steering wheel vibration, and a warning message displayed on the infotainment system.
  • If the system detects an unavoidable collision with a pedestrian or object behind the vehicle, the system may apply braking force. The driver should be aware that the brake will release within 2 seconds. The driver must immediately press the brake pedal and look around.

The brake assist is canceled when:

- The driver shifts the transmission to P (Park) or D (Drive)
- The driver presses the brake pedal with sufficient force
- Braking assistance has been applied for approximately 2 seconds

The warning is canceled when:

- The driver shifts the transmission to P (Park), N (Neutral), or D (Drive)

Brake control may not operate properly depending on the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) status. There will only be a warning when:

- The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) warning light is illuminated
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is performing another function
