G PRE-SAFE® Brake will only respond with brake assistance if it has clearly detected an object. Detection can be impeded by dirty or covered sensors snowfall or heavy rain disturbance from other radar sources strong radar reflection such as in parking garages PRE-SAFE® Brake uses radar signals that are not reflected well by narrow objects and absorptive materials. For this reason BAS Plus will not react to persons and animals approaching traffic or cross-traffic PRE-SAFE® Brake may not detect narrow vehicles driving in front of you, such as motorcycles and vehicles driving offset from your vehicle center. When the distance to the forward vehicle is too small, the distance warning lamp l comes on in the instrument cluster. If you approach the forward vehicle very quickly, you will hear a warning tone. If you do not apply the brakes yourself or maneuver around a sensed obstacle, the vehicle will automatically initiate light braking. PRE-SAFE® ( page 56) is activated when the distance to the vehicle ahead at your current speed is so close that PRE-SAFE® Brake will not be capable of slowing the vehicle sufficiently. 74
