    2. Pre-Collision System (PCS)
      Our Pre-Collision System can detect and help you avoid collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.

      Our Lane Trace Assist System is designed to make motorway driving safer. It keeps you centred in your lane and if you start to drift from it, steering assist will gently steer your car to correct its course.
    4. Road Sign Assist (RSA)
      Road Sign Assist monitors the road signs ahead, displaying useful information such as the current speed limit or overtaking restrictions on your cockpit display. The system also provides a visual and acoustic warning if the driver isn’t following a road sign indication.
    5. Adaptive High Beam System (AHS)
      This system is designed to ensure the best possible visibility for all road users when driving at night. It automatically optimises headlamp distribution, by shading out the area containing oncoming traffic, so your high beams do not dazzle other drivers but still give you plenty of light.
