Forward Alert

If an object is detected close ahead of the vehicle:

• A warning tone will be emitted from the Instrument Cluster (IC).
• A message will be displayed in the message center.

The brakes will not be applied.

The forward alert system is active when the warning indicator in the IC is illuminated. Forward alert does not initiate any action, the driver must take the appropriate action when the message is displayed in the message center. The system monitors driver intervention and may not issue the warning if the driver has taken the appropriate action (braking, steering or indicating) early enough.

The sensitivity of the warning can be changed using the gap increase and decrease switches when the adaptive speed control is not engaged. Confirmation of the gap change is given in the message center.
