Collision Warning and Collision Avoidance System - Overview: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The forward collision warning system alerts the driver of a collision risk with a red warning indicator from the HUD module, and an audible warning chime from the IPC. For this system, a HUD with driver information display (controlled by the IPC), illuminates a solid red bar that appears on the windshield, in place of any other selected IPC indicators.
If the system senses that the driver is not reacting quickly, the CCM sends a message to the ABS module to charge the brakes for more sensitive braking or for automatic braking to slow or stop the vehicle to avoid or reduce the impact of a collision.
