A fault with the EBD system is indicated
by the brake warning lamp illuminating
and an associated warning message. See
54, BRAKE (RED). Gently and safely stop
the vehicle and seek qualified assistance.
AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY
BRAKING (AEB)
The AEB system is a driving aid
only. It remains the driver's
responsibility to drive with due
care and attention, in a manner
that is safe for the vehicle, the
occupants and other road users.
The driver should observe all road
signs, road markings and any
potential emergency braking
situations and act appropriately.
Seat belts should be worn by all
vehicle occupants, for every trip,
no matter how short. Failure to
do so will greatly increase the risk
of death or serious injury in the
event of an accident.
Note: The AEB system is an option in
some markets.
Note: The fitment of the AEB system is
market and model dependent.
The AEB system uses the forward-facing
cameras, located above the rear-view
mirror, to identify a collision risk. AEB and
Forward collision warnings are enabled
every time the vehicle is switched on, but
may be disabled via the Instrument panel
menu. See 49, INSTRUMENT PANEL
MENU.
Note: In order for the AEB system to work
correctly, make sure that the windscreen
is kept clean and the camera's line of sight
is not obstructed by labels, stickers or any
other objects.
AEB is provided to mitigate the severity
and, in some instances, avoid a rear-end
collision, between this vehicle and other
vehicles that are in its forward path.
When a collision risk is detected, a
Forward collision warning is displayed in
the Message centre. If avoiding action is
not taken and a collision is not avoidable,
the brakes will automatically be applied.
After the vehicle has stopped, the brakes
will only remain applied for a few seconds.
If the AEB system has started to engage,
the driver can override its operation via
steering or accelerator inputs, causing the
system to disengage. This is to make sure
that the driver remains in full control of
the vehicle.
Note: The efficiency of the system is
dependent on the condition of the road
surface and the condition of the vehicle's
tyres, braking system and the vehicle's
speed.
AEB will not operate if:
• The vehicle is negotiating a tight
corner.
• Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is
switched off.
• The cameras are dirty or obstructed.
• The vehicle's speed is below 5 km/h
(3 mph) or above 80 km/h (50 mph).
• When visibility is impaired due to
severe weather conditions (for
example, heavy rain, fog, snow, etc.).
Note: On initial vehicle start-up, the AEB
system may require an initialisation period
before it is fully functional. This is
indicated by a warning message in the
Message centre. During this period, the
efficiency of the AEB system is limited.
