→ Description

ProActive occupant protection is an assistance system that initiates action to protect vehicle occupants in dangerous situations. However, the system cannot prevent a collision.

Additional information and warnings:

  • Infotainment system
  • Seat belts
  • Driving Mode Selection
  • Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts
The intelligent technology used in the ProActive occupant protection system cannot overcome the laws of physics or any system-related limitations. The system cannot prevent a collision. Do not let the extra safety features tempt you into taking any risks when driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
  • Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
  • Incorrect system activation can occur.
