I can set a warning distance on my L405 should throw a green triangle on the dash showing active and you set warning by adaptive controls, as long as you have adaptive cruise then you definitely have it. |

The Adaptive Cruise is great as it will also keep you the same distance from the car in front if active. I believe there are 3 levels.

Agree Stan, but the front radar provides a warning for those moments you don’t realise… perhaps a momentary glance to change a radio station…

The front collision warning thing doesn’t really sense distance, just warns you if the car in front is suddenly slowing and you haven’t got your foot on the brake already.

I have activated this on my 'new to me' L405 and find it really useful. It even picked up a cyclist in poor light conditions before I saw him! |

E500, The collision 'warning' I get - and it has been very useful a couple of times for me but its just a red triange and noise to 'let you know' It doesn't perform any braking action at that point.

Yeah exactly. I’ve never let it brake for me either! |

How did you configure this? Is it on all the time or only when you’ve got ACC on? |

I’m not in the car right now but you enable front radar via the dash/steering wheel. Go into the menu and it under car setup I think.
