Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50
mph (80 km/h) when a pedestrian or a cyclist is
detected.
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is detected.
– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle
is detected.
This warning lamp ashes (for
approximately 10 seconds) as soon as
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes. During
the ashing time, the function is not available.
In the event of automatic emergency braking,
keep the brake pedal depressed, also after a
complete stop is reached, to prevent the vehicle
from rolling away.
The driver can override the "automatic
emergency braking" at any time by rmly
turning the steering wheel and/or rmly
depressing the accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may feel hard and
vibrate slightly while the function is
operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
Turning scenarios
Crossing road with another vehicle
The system may operate when the vehicle is
turning and detects another vehicle, on the
adjacent lane, approaching from the opposite
direction if:
– The corresponding direction indicator is
activated.
– Then the vehicle is about to cross the path of
another vehicle.
– The vehicle speed is between 3 and 12 mph
(5 and 20 km/h).
– A collision on the side of the other vehicle is
probable.
Crossing road with a pedestrian
The system may operate when the vehicle
is turning left or right and detects a crossing
pedestrian if:
– The pedestrian is crossing in front of the
vehicle.
– The pedestrian can clearly be detected by the
sensors.
– The scenery is detectable by the sensors (e.g.
brightness, contrast vs background).
– The vehicle speed is between 3 and 15 mph
(5 and 25 km/h).
Malfunction
This warning lamp lights up on the
instrument panel with the message
"Sensor blind" in certain cases. With the variant
"camera only", the system is deactivated. With
the variant "camera and radar", the system may
continue to operate in a degraded mode. This
may be caused by a reduced visibility (rain, fog,
snow, blending by low sun…) or by a real sensor
blockage. In this case, stop the vehicle and verify
