Careless changes in system settings may result in undesirable behavior.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) Section 4 FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) 4.1. WHAT IS FCW? The Forward Collision Warning alerts you to the danger of an impending collision with the vehicle ahead. The Mobileye AWS-4000 calculates the expected Time to Collision (TTC) with the vehicle in front and, when the TTC drops to a dangerous threshold, it immediately generates an FCW alert. 4.2. FCW IS GENERATED WHEN… An FCW is generated up to 2.7 seconds before possible collision with the vehicle in front. 4.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW) Section 5 LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW) 5.1. WHAT IS LDW? The Mobileye AWS-4000 provides a Lane Departure Warning (LDW) to alert you when you are about to unintentionally swerve outside of the lane you are driving in. 5.2. LDW IS GENERATED WHEN… LDW alerts you when the car begins to swerve from the driving lane. The system generates an LDW alert up to 0.5 seconds before the vehicle crosses the lane marking.
HEADWAY MONITORING AND WARNING (HMW) Section 6 HEADWAY MONITORING AND WARNING (HMW) 6.1. WHAT IS HMW? The Mobileye AWS-4000 Headway Monitoring and Warning monitors the driving distance from the vehicle in front of you (headway) and alerts you when the headway is less than a pre-defined threshold. Headway is measured in seconds, and not physical distance. The headway is the number of seconds it would take for your vehicle to reach the current position of the vehicle ahead.
HEADWAY MONITORING AND WARNING (HMW) 6.4. HMW AUDIO ALERT A single chime is sounded to draw your attention to a dangerous headway situation. The timing of the warning can be customized by the user. (Please refer to Section 8.5.1 for customization instructions.) 6.5. HMW ACTIVATION The visual alert is displayed whenever a detected car traveling in front of your vehicle.
