If the driver is not paying attention to the road ahead and a dangerous situation is detected, the system will warn the driver by flashing lights, warning sounds. If no action is taken, the vehicle will apply the brakes (a warning alarm will sound followed by a brief automatic application of the braking system).
The warning is followed by light braking to get the driver's attention. The third phase initiates autonomous partial braking at a rate of 3 m/s 2 (9.8 ft/s 2 ). The fourth phase increases braking to 5 m/s 2 (16.4 ft/s 2 ) followed by automatic full braking power, roughly half a second before projected impact.
