System Overview: Introduction

The Forward Sensing Module is an electronic system that: 

• warns and aids the driver to brake the vehicle in the event of an imminent collision
• warns the driver when he/she is about to leave the lane
• warns the driver when his/her driving pattern deteriorates.

Parts of the system also make up an addition to the existing cruise control.

The following functions are provided by the Forward Sensing Module : 

• Collision warning. 

  Warns the driver of a possible collision with the vehicle ahead or a person.

• Automatic brake 

  Brakes the vehicle automatically when a collision is imminent.

• Brake support 

  Helps the driver, when there is a collision risk, to brake the vehicle when the brake pedal is pressed down.

• Distance control 

  Helps the driver keep the distance to the vehicle ahead without affecting speed of your own vehicle. A fixed light indication in the windshield informs that the time interval to the vehicle ahead is less than the set distance.

• Adaptive cruise control 

  Maintains a time interval to the vehicle ahead when cruise control is activated.

• Warns the driver if they are unintentionally about the leave their lane.

• Alerts and warns the driver that their attention, and therefore, their driving pattern, have deteriorated due to fatigue, for example.
