The Road Sign Information system helps ensure drivers no longer miss important information. A forward camera detects road signs ahead and displays them on the instrument display – keeping drivers constantly alert to current restrictions. The Speed Limit Intelligent Function can automatically reduce the speed of the vehicle if it detects a change in restriction.
Standard on City & Ultima.

AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING
An active radar monitors the road ahead. If a collision risk is detected, the system alerts the driver with an audible and visual warning. If the system determines a collision is imminent, it may apply emergency braking without driver input to help reduce impact damage, or even avoid a crash entirely.
Standard on all variants.

ECALL EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE
Fitted as standard in all variants, eCall emergency response reduces the emergency response times to an incident, increasing the chance of survival for anybody involved in an accident who is seriously hurt. The system automatically calls the emergency services if in-vehicle sensors detect a serious crash. The system can also be activated manually via an SOS button in the cabin.

ACOUSTIC VEHICLE ALERT SYSTEMS
Electric vehicles can be a lot quieter than their diesel-powered counterparts, and this lack of noise can pose a risk to other road users, such as those limited sight. Fitted as standard, AVAS makes an artificial noise when VN5 is travelling at low speeds, to help alert pedestrians to the presence of the vehicle.
Standard on all variants.

Electric Stability Control helps drivers maintain control in adverse driving situations or when making quick maneuvers. The system actively senses when the vehicle is about to lose control or traction, and automatically applies braking to help prevent sliding side ways and skidding.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Should one or more of your tyres become significantly under inflated, an alert warns the driver so the situation can be addressed as quickly as possible.
Standard on all variants.

HELP ON HILLS
Hill Start Assist helps prevent the vehicle from rolling as you remove your foot from the brake pedal to accelerate from a stationary position on an incline or decline.

CRUISE CONTROL
An active driver assistance feature designed to make everyday driving and longer trips more relaxed. Adaptive cruise control maintains a set cruising speed and automatically maintains a comfortable preset distance from the vehicle in front.
Standard on all variants.
