Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
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.
