The Kodiaq is also equipped with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with capabilities for car-to-car, vulnerable road user, junction, crossing, backover, and head-on scenarios. A lane support system, including lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and emergency lane keeping, is standard. An advanced speed assistance system is also included.
