Safety Highlights
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)*
Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist (RCCA)*
Trailer Stability Assist*
Highway Driving Assist 2 with Lane Change Assist*
Lane Keep Assist & Lane Following Assist 2*
Parking Collision Avoidance Assist - Reverse*
Using radar and camera data, the AEB system senses the potential for a collision with a pedestrian, car or cyclist ahead and applies emergency braking to avoid or reduce the effects of a collision. Junction Turning & Crossing[AEB-JC], Lane-change Oncoming[AEB-LCO] & more features available.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) warns the driver with audio & visual alerts when detecting vehicles approaching from either side of the vehicle when reversing. Rear Cross-traffic Collision Avoidance Assist (RCCA) combines alerts from the RCTA system with braking to help prevent possible collisions.
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) helps mitigate trailer sway while being towed.
Highway Driving Assist (HDA) assists in maintaining a set distance and speed from the vehicle ahead and also helps to keep the vehicle centered in the lane with lane change assistance while driving on highways or motorways.
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Lane Following Assist (LFA) helps the vehicle to remain in the centre of the lane by continuously correcting the course of the vehicle.
The PCA system provides a warning if there is a risk of collision with a rear object while reversing. It automatically assists with emergency braking if the risk of collision increases after the warning.
Available on X-Pro & X-Line grades.
