• The AEB provides additional braking
power for optimum braking perform‐
ance, when the driver depresses the
brake pedal.
• The braking control is automatically
deactivated, when the driver sharply
depresses the brake pedal, or when
the driver abruptly operates the
steering wheel.
• The braking control is automatically
canceled, when risk factors disappear.
CAUTION
The driver should always pay great
caution to vehicle operation, even
though there is no warning message
or warning alarm.
WARNING
The AEB cannot avoid all collisions.
The AEB might not completely stop
the vehicle before collision, due to
ambient, weather and road condi‐
tions. The driver has the responsibili‐
ty to drive safely and control the ve‐
hicle.
WARNING
The AEB operates in accordance with
the risk levels, such as the distance
from the vehicle/passer-by in front,
the speed of the vehicle/passer-by
in front, and the driver's vehicle op‐
eration.
Sensor to detect the distance
from the vehicle in front (front
radar)
OJFC055221
The sensor is to maintain a certain dis‐
tance from the vehicle in front. Howev‐
er, the smudged sensor lens with for‐
eign substances, such as snow and rain,
adversely affects the sensing perform‐
ance. It may even temporarily cancel
the AEB. Always keep the sensor lens
clean.
