How does the Forward Collision Warning with collision mitigation work in my MINI?

For equipped vehicles, Forward Collision Mitigation with brake intervention can help to prevent accidents within a certain speed range. To do so, the area around the vehicle is monitored by various sensors. If an accident cannot be avoided, the system can help reduce the severity of the accident. The system can issue a warning of a possible risk of collision and activate the brakes independently, if needed. You can cancel automatic brake intervention manually, e.g., by actively moving the steering wheel. Forward Collision Mitigation can be activated or deactivated using the Interaction Unit. You can also configure the warning time. Various indicator lights and warning lights are displayed on the Interaction Unit depending on the collision risk detected.  

 

The Forward Collision Mitigation system issues a warning for a possible risk of collision at speeds above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h. If the vehicle speed exceeds approx. 155 mph/250 km/h, the system is deactivated temporarily. Some functions are deactivated earlier. The system is enabled as soon as the speed drops below this value again.
