Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB)
If equipped, the AEB system may help avoid or
reduce the harm caused by front-end crashes.
AEB also includes Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA).
When the system detects avehicle in the path
ahead that is traveling in the same direction,
and that you may crash into, it can provide
aboost to braking, or automatically brake
the vehicle. This can help avoid or lessen the
severity of crashes when driving in aforward
gear. Depending on the situation, the vehicle
may automatically brake moderately or hard.
This Automatic Emergency Braking can only
occur if avehicle is detected. Vehicle detection
is shown by the Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
vehicle ahead indicator being lit. See Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) System 3196.
The system works when driving in aforward
gear between 8 km/h (5 mph) and 80 km/h
(50 mph), or on vehicles with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), above 4 km/h (2 mph). It can
detect vehicles up to approximately 60 m
(197 ft).
{ Warning
A
EB is an emergency crash preparation
fe
ature and is not designed to avoid
crashes. Do not rely on AEB to brake the
vehicle. AEB will not brake outside of its
operating speed range and only responds
to detected vehicles.
AEB may not:
•
Detect avehicle ahead on winding or
hilly roads.
•
Detect all vehicles, especially vehicles
with atrailer, tractors, muddy
vehicles, etc.
•
Detect avehicle when weather limits
visibility, such as in fog, rain, or snow.
•
Detect avehicle ahead if it is partially
blocked by pedestrians or other objects.
Complete attention is always required
while driving, and you should be ready
to take action and apply the brakes and/or
steer the vehicle to avoid crashes.
AEB may slow the vehicle to a complete stop to
t
ry to avoid apotential crash. If this happens,
AEB may engage the Electric Parking Brake
(EPB) to hold the vehicle at astop. Release the
EPB or firmly press the accelerator pedal.
{ Warning
A
EB may automatically brake the vehicle
su
ddenly in situations where it is
unexpected and undesired. It could respond
to a turning vehicle ahead, guardrails, signs,
and other non-moving objects. To override
AEB, firmly press the accelerator pedal, if it
is safe to do so.
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
IB
A may activate when the brake pedal is
applied quickly by providing a boost to braking
based on the speed of approach and distance to
avehicle ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal
movement during this time is normal and the
brake pedal should continue to be applied as
needed. IBA will automatically disengage only
when the brake pedal is released.
