Tail Gate Warning
Tale Gate Warning uses the vehicle's bumper mounted radar to calculate a safe following distance at speeds greater than 20 mph (32 kp/h). The system will present a visual alert if the driver is following the vehicle in front too closely. The system warns the driver when:
-
ACC is not activated;
-
the vehicle is moving faster than 20 mph (32 kp/h); and
-
the driver follows a vehicle for longer than 10 seconds at a distance that will be traversed in less than 2.6 seconds.
The system will not give warning when:
-
the vehicle is moving slower than 20 mph (32 km/h);
-
another vehicle cuts in front;
-
the vehicle in front is moving away: or
-
ACC is activated.
After the initial warning, the system will continue to warn the driver every 20 seconds if the gap between the vehicles does not increase.
Tail gate warning operates independently from active brake assist (ABA).
Once activated, Tailgate Warning will deactivate only at speeds less than 20mph (32 km/h).
