The front cross traffic alert warns the driver about vehicles and motorcycles approaching from the sides when the car is driving forward out of a parking space or at a crossing. If an approaching vehicle or motorcycle is detected, there is a directional audible warning, followed by a warning on the driver display and the head-up display. If a collision is imminent, and the car is traveling between 4–60 km/h, the system activates the brakes.
The working speed range of the function is 4–60 km/h.
Note: The front cross traffic alert function can detect crossing vehicles or motorcycles traveling between 4–60 km/h.
Front cross traffic alert is active by default at the start of each journey, and cannot be independently disabled. It is disabled if collision mitigation support front is disabled.
