PRACTICALITY AND SAFETY

Helping with various manoeuvres, from parking by a kerb to getting in and out of tight spaces and junctions, 360° Surround Camera gives you complete exterior vision on the Touchscreen. To enhance this system further, Forward Vehicle Guidance and Forward Traffic Detection are also available. Forming part of the 360° Surround Camera, Forward Vehicle Guidance provides the driver with an on-screen visualisation of the vehicle and parking distance. Forward Traffic Detection helps avoid potential collisions in situations where forward manoeuvres involve restricted views.

In an emergency braking situation, XF is ready. Utilising a forward facing camera, should a potential collision be detected XF gives an audible forward collision warning, allowing you time to take action. Visual warnings in the Head-Up Display (if fitted) and instrument cluster follow. If a collision is still anticipated and the driver takes no action, the system then applies the brakes to help reduce the severity of the possible impact.

These systems make parking in tight spaces easier than ever. Sensors measure the space and, if suitable, will enable XF to accurately steer itself during both parallel and bay parking manoeuvres - the driver only has to control the brakes and accelerator. For parallel spaces, an exit-assist function can help guide XF out again. The reverse traffic detection system, using the blind spot monitoring system’s sensors, is able to detect approaching vehicles that may be unseen by the driver, triggering an audible alert and a notification on the Touch-screen.

XF is fitted with Lane Departure Warning as standard, providing alerts should the car unintentionally drift from its lane. To complement this, an innovative technology – Lane Keep Assist (LKA)³ and Driver Condition Monitor (DCM)³, is available. LKA senses unintentional lane drift and helps steer XF back into its lane. Also working to keep you safe, DCM constantly analyses driving inputs to detect lapses in concentration due to tiredness. When the system determines that a potentially drowsy driver is at the wheel, it suggests taking a break via a notification in the instrument cluster.
