Detroit Assurance Tailgate Warning

p4 dm 06.04.000

The tailgate warning provides alerts when the vehicle in front is being followed too closely.

The system gives warning when:

  • ACC is not active;

  • the vehicle is moving faster than 20 mph (32 km/h);

  • 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 also give warnings when ACC is active, if:

  • the driver is overriding the distance control by pressing on the accelerator pedal;

  • the vehicle is moving faster than 20 mph (32 km/h);

  • 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 continue to give warning every 20 seconds if the gap between the vehicles does not increase.

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;

  • ACC distance control is active.
