Driver assist systems
NOTE: This emergency braking can be interrupted by the driver either by:
– Operating the indicators left or right,
– Depressing the accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point (kickdown)
or
– switching off AEBS using the switch on the control panel.
WARNING! AEBS cannot prevent a collision. There is a risk of an
accident. Always apply the brakes yourself and try to make an evasive
manoeuvre.
NOTE: AEBS only 'reacts' to objects moving in the same direction and
stationary objects.
NOTE: AEBS does not react to objects moving away from the vehicle
(overtaking vehicles, for example). This is because the distance between
them is increasing rather than decreasing.
NOTE: AEBS cannot always detect;
– other road users (for example, motorcycles or low bed semi-trailers),
– vehicles driving on a different line and
– complex traffic situations (for example, curves, tunnels or busy city
traffic).
See 'Traffic situations' in section 'AEBS/ACC sensor' in chapter 'Detection
devices'.
NOTE: AEBS does not automatically adapt to road and traffic conditions.
