Driver assist systems
How often these unjustified warnings occur depends on the driving style, type of road
and other traffic.
Roads with few roadside objects or traffic can make the AEBS system more sensitive.
See 'Traffic situations' in section 'AEBS/ACC sensor' in chapter 'Detection devices'.
8.3.2 Engaging and disengaging Advanced Emergency
Braking System (AEBS)
WARNING!
– Do not adapt your driving style to the knowledge of having the
AEBS.
AEBS is merely an aid to assist the driver. AEBS does not release
the driver from the obligation to be responsible at all times for the
vehicle speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. Ignoring these
matters can lead to very dangerous situations (such as a collision)
for the driver but also for other road users.
WARNING!
– The driver remains responsible for braking the vehicle under all
circumstances.
AEBS will not brake for people or animals or for oncoming traffic.
AEBS may not bring the vehicle to a complete stop under all
conditions. Ignoring these matters can lead to very dangerous
situations (such as a collision) for the driver but also for other road
users.
WARNING!
– Do not use AEBS while driving in off-road situations.
The cover of the AEBS/ACC sensor might get dirty causing AEBS
to react incorrectly.
In such case AEBS may:
– Give an unnecessary warning and then brake the vehicle.
– Neither give a warning nor intervene.
WARNING!
– The driver remains responsible for keeping a safe distance from the
vehicle ahead in all situations.
AEBS cannot always detect other road users (for example,
motorcycles or low bed semi-trailers).
In such cases AEBS may:
– Give an unnecessary warning and then brake the vehicle.
– Neither give a warning nor intervene.
Engaging AEBS
AEBS is preselected on as soon as the ignition of the vehicle is switched on.
