- (A) Multi-sensing front camera
- (B) Radar sensor
The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to enhance the operation of the vehicle when following a vehicle travelling in the same lane and direction.
The ProPILOT Assist system uses a multi-sensing front camera (A) installed behind the windscreen and a radar sensor located on the front of the vehicle (B) to measure the distance to the vehicle ahead in the same lane and to monitor the lane markers. If the vehicle detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the vehicle speed so that your vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the selected distance. The system will also help keep the vehicle centred in the travelling lane when clear lane markings are detected.
