ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (4/4)
Active emergency braking
Limitation of the system operation
- The system will only respond to vehicles which are moving or which have been sensed as moving.
- A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert or any action on the system operation.
- The sensor area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the system.
- The system cannot respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycles as effectively as to other vehicles.
In these conditions, the system may not react, may warn the driver or may brake inadvertently.
Deactivating the function
The function should be deactivated if:
- the brake lights are not functioning;
- the front of the vehicle has undergone an impact or been damaged;
- the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns).
Halting the function
You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accelerator pedal.
If the driver notices any unusual behaviour in the system, please consult an authorised dealer.
