Question 5512
How does the "VIS-DET" ADAS system work?
- It warns of an imminent collision with a pedestrian or cyclist and issues an alert on the dashboard.
- It shuts off the engine if there is a risk of collision with a pedestrian.
- It brakes the vehicle and changes lanes if necessary.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: It warns of an imminent collision with a pedestrian or cyclist and issues an alert on the dashboard.
VIS-DET is the name the exam uses for the pedestrian or cyclist collision warning system. It monitors what’s ahead of you, like the cyclist in the image, and if it detects that you’re going to hit a pedestrian or cyclist, it warns you with a dashboard alert and a sound. It doesn’t brake, turn the steering wheel, or shut off the engine. Braking or steering to avoid them is up to you, unless the car also has AEB.
