What Is Forward Collision Warning?

The forward collision warning system is a driver-assistive feature that warns you when there’s a potential collision ahead. You should always be alert when out and about in St. Marys, but safety features like the forward collision warning give you additional peace of mind and help you out when needed. Find out more about how this feature works and what other names it goes by below with Spitzer Honda DuBois, your established car dealer in DuBois.

How Does Forward Collision Warning Work?

When traveling in Clearfield, your car’s forward collision warning system scans the road for any slow-moving or stopped vehicle. If the sensors located at the front of your vehicle detect an obstacle, the system will alert you in several different ways: 

• Sounds
• Vibrations
• Quick brake pulsing
• Visuals
• Mixture of signals

When warned by this system, you have a heads-up and a chance to avoid being in an accident. The last thing you want from your commute is to get injured or cause damage to your vehicle, and the forward collision warning feature helps you prevent that.
