Question 8018

Which system detects pedestrians and vehicles, including cyclists, both moving and stationary?

  1. The LKW
  2. The FCW.
  3. The ACC.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The FCW.

Forward collision warning, FCW, uses cameras and radar to monitor what's ahead of you. It detects vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, whether moving or stationary, and if the risk of a collision is high, it warns you with a visual signal and a sound, like the red dashboard warning light in the image as a pedestrian crosses. Braking or swerving is up to you, unless the car also has AEB. ACC maintains the distance from the vehicle ahead.
