Some GM vehicles are now equipped with camera systems that detect nearby vehicles and lane markings,
then alert drivers about possible collisions with warning tones and console lights if cars wander off their path.
It will
then alert the driver to the aforementioned conditions using the following messages: WARM UP (further warming up of the components required); GO (optimal condition for maximum performance); OVER (overheating, components must be allowed to cool).
If the camera sees that the driver is not looking directly ahead for a few seconds or more, and if an obstacle is detected ahead,
then it alerts the driver first with a warning chime and a flashing light.
The system will
then alert the driver and apply full braking if necessary, up to speeds of 65 mph.
The system calculates the car's speed and trajectory and if there might be a problem looming ahead,
then alerts the driver if he needs to change course or slow down.
Not exact matches
Typical automobile collision - avoidance systems tend to handle this by
alerting the
driver and
then, only at the last minute, taking control and applying the brakes.
It also boasts a pair of pre-crash systems called «Smart City Brake Support,» which uses a windshield - mounted laser and automatically brakes at speeds below 20 mph if it believes a collision is impending, and «Smart Brake Support,» which uses the same millimeter - wave radar as the active cruise control and intervenes at speeds up to 90 mph, first by
alerting the
driver,
then by applying the brakes.
Prior to stopping the car, the system attempts to
alert the
driver (presumably with sounds and vibrations); if the
driver remains inactive, it switches on the hazards, performs what is described as a «gentle steering maneuver,» and
then brings the car to a halt.
This model may be further enhanced with a choice of two upgrade packages: the Technology Package adds pre-collision warning system,
driver monitoring system, lane departure
alert, dynamic radar cruise control and more; the Executive Package comes with a unique alloy wheel finish,
then builds on the Technology Package, adding: a rear seat entertainment system, front console cool box, 4 - wheel crawl control and more.
Then the system
alerts the
driver by vibrating the steering wheel, emitting an audible and / or visual warning, or other means.
If danger is detected, the car will first
alert the
driver then slow down the car on its own.
If the car in the front brakes, but the vehicle immediately in front of the Q does not, the system will
alert the
driver, and
then apply braking automatically if the Q
driver doesn't respond.
That adds Mazda's Smart City Brake Support (SCBS), a front radar system that detects other vehicles or obstacles and calculates the distance
then sends an audible and visible
alert to the CX - 5
driver if there's risk of a collision.
The system
alerts the
driver and
then applies the brakes if it detects an obstacle and the
driver fails to react.
The system is designed to determine if the
driver is late in decelerating at an approaching stop sign, will
then sound an
alert and can also pre-charge the brakes to provide braking force if deemed necessary.
The forward emergency braking system judges that deceleration is required, it
alerts the
driver using both a screen display and sound,
then generates a force that pushes the accelerator pedal up and applies partial braking to assist the
driver in slowing the vehicle down.
To
alert following
drivers that the car is slowing rapidly, sensors detect when the
driver is braking suddenly and hard, and
then automatically flash the brake lights three times.
It comes with 12 - way electrically adjustable
driver's seat with memory function, handsfree parking, auto tilting mirrors when reverse gear is engaged, navigation system, BossConnect app through which rear passengers can control the music system, fatigue
alert system, tyre pressure monitoring system and
then eight airbags.
If it detects the
driver has turned their head away from the road, the system will issue an
alert to have the
driver bring their eyes back to the road via a light bar on the steering wheel and
then the safety
alert system.
One prime example is the SRX's ability to not only detect an imminent low - speed collision when moving forward or in reverse, but to
alert the
driver and
then, if necessary, intervene by stopping the vehicle.
It comes equipped with a seven - inch touchscreen satellite navigation system with European mapping and Traffic Management Channel (TMC) a handy feature that
alerts the
driver to heavy traffic ahead and
then adjusts the route accordingly ensuring that the
driver and passengers have a less stressful journey.
Also new is a function called Emergency Assist that detects if the
driver has been inactive for a period before pinging an
alert, pulsing the brake and
then bringing the car to a standstill if there's no reaction.
Drivers may adjust the distance at which FCW
alerts occur by pressing the «SETTINGS» button, selecting «Vehicle Settings,» and
then choosing «
Driver Assist System Setup» and the «Forward Collision Warning Distance» option.
If the FCW system detects a vehicle in front of the Civic and
then determines that a collision may occur (due to a speed differential between the two vehicles), it will trigger visual and audible
alerts for the
driver.
If the
driver then activates the turn signal, indicating a move in the same direction, the warning light will flash and the system will also sound an audible
alert to immediately inform the
driver of the potential danger in changing lanes.
Rear Door Alert monitors rear door switches to check if doors were opened prior to the trip and
then again after,
alerting drivers visually and audibly.
If it detects that a rear door was opened prior to setting off, but
then was not re-opened following the parking of the vehicle and switching off the ignition, it will first
alert the
driver through a message in the instrument cluster and
then cycle through a series of horn chirps, if no action is taken.
Driver assistance technology includes adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning with brake support; enhanced park assist for backing into a perpendicular parking spot and pulling into and out of a parallel parking spot; lane - keep alert and assist (to warn, then nudge the car back into lane); driver fatigue alert; blind spot detection; auto high beams; and a hands - free foot - activated lif

It continually scans traffic conditions ahead of the RDX,
alerts the
driver when it determines there is potential for a collision, and
then applies automatic emergency braking to help reduce the severity of a collision if
drivers don't take corrective action on their own.
For example, the 2016 Volvo XC60 has all the usual high - tech
driver - assistance systems,
then goes full Volvo with features like a road - sign information setup and a drowsy -
driver alert.
The hazard avoidance exercise is designed to teach our
drivers how to pay attention and avoid distractions, to have
alert reactions, to steer
then brake and to understand what happens when threshold braking and steering at the same time.
