Limitations of Rear Collision Warning*1
In certain cases the Rear Collision Warning (RCW) may have difficulty helping the driver in the event of a collision risk.
This can, for example, be if:
- the vehicle approaching from behind is detected too late
- the vehicle approaching from behind changes lane at the last moment.
Note
In certain markets, RCW does not give a warning with the direction indicators due to local traffic regulations - in such cases, this part of the function is deactivated.
Note
The warning with direction indicators for Rear Collision Warning* is deactivated if the warning distance for collision warning in the City Safety function is set at the lowest level "Late".
Note
This function uses the car's camera and radar units, which have certain general limitations.
