When Driving

i-ACTIVSENSE

i-ACTIVSENSE

i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver support 

systems which make use of a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar sensors. These 

systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety systems.

These systems are designed to assist the driver in safer driving by reducing the load on the 

driver and helping to avert collisions or reduce their severity. However, because each system 

has its limitations, always drive carefully and do not rely solely on the systems.

 Active Safety Technology

Active Safety Technology supports safer driving by helping the driver to recognize potential 

hazards and avert accidents.
