Innovators and engineers in the automobile industry are focused on creating a more pleasant and safer driving experiences. There have been many innovations over the years, and Predictive Forward Collision Warning is one of the most significant inclusions in then automobile safety features. It is an improvement and an advanced version of the Forward Collision Warning and the Intelligent Braking Assist. This safety feature uses radar to detect the speed and the movement of the two vehicles that are ahead of you. It is the first system in the world that warns drivers of risks that they may not be able to see. It senses the distance and the relative velocity of the two vehicles ahead. This safety feature helps give drivers a more confident and safe driving experience. INFINITY vehicle models are one of the models equipped with this important feature.
How the INFINITY Predictive Forward Collision Warning works.
On the roads, sometimes it is hard to know what to expect. The vehicle ahead may decelerate suddenly or even change lanes unexpectedly creating a dangerous situation. Such situations are where INFINITY comes into play. Predictive Forward Collision Warning uses a sensor that is located at the front of the vehicle bumper to measure the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle immediately ahead of you. It, also, measures the speed at which the two vehicles ahead are moving. It, additionally, indicates the distance lying between you and the second vehicle ahead of you.
The system provides you with 360-degree protection when driving. Some of the features available in the system include distance control assist, blind spot warnings, blind spot intervention, forward emergency braking, lane assist, advance restraints, airbags and vehicle structures. These features can alert you when someone hits the breaks in the car ahead of the one you are following to help you avoid an unanticipated collision. The warning comes in the form of a warning tone and an icon that appears in the instrument cluster. Also, you will feel the accelerator pedal withdrawing and pushing against your foot.
If you opt to release the accelerator pedal, the system automatically applies partial breaks to slow down the car. You have to take additional breaking action. In case you do not, the system will relay visual and audible warning signs. It will then apply harder breaking by itself. In case the Forward Emergency Breaking causes the vehicle to stop, it will maintain the standstill position for about 2 seconds before the system rereleases the breaks.
In case you are headed for an unavoidable collision, you can turn the steering wheel to its extreme end. This action will result in the automatic braking action ceasing. The automatic braking will, also, stop if you continue pressing the accelerator pedal, which overrides the system, or when the sensor does not detect any vehicle ahead of you.
With then INFINITY Prediction Forward Collision Warning, it is now possible to predict the future when driving. You, therefore, can drive more confidently knowing that your vehicle has got your back.
