2. The collision risk is evaluated through TTC ( Time To Collision ) and it is classified by 3 phases.

• TTC : The calculated value of the distance and the relative speed between a front vehicle and the host vehicle

• Sensitive : TTC 0.9sec / Normal : TTC 0.7sec / Insensitive : TTC 0.5 sec

• Secondary Warning : TTC 0.4 sec

• The TTC sensitivity can be adjusted from the menu.
