Overview of warnings
NOTE
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when braking
is performed by the Active Emergency Braking
system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway con-
ditions, the system may help the driver avoid a for-
ward collision or may help mitigate the
consequences if a collision should one be unavoid-
able.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel, acceler-
ating or braking, the Active Emergency Braking sys-
tem will function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the follow-
ing conditions:
•
When the steering wheel is turned as far as nec-
essary to avoid a collision.
•
When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
•
When there is no longer a vehicle detected
ahead.
If the Active Emergency Braking system has
stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a
standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.
WARNING
•
The radar sensor does not detect the follow-
ing objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the
roadway
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
•
The radar sensor has some performance limi-
tations. If a stationary vehicle is in the vehi-
cle’s path, the Active Emergency Braking sys-
tem will not function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over approximately 70 km/h (44
MPH).
•
The radar sensor may not detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering
the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from travelling
vehicles.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motor-
cycle).
– When driving on a steep downhill slope or
roads with sharp curves.
– When towing a trailer.
•
In some road or traffic conditions, the Active
Emergency Braking system may unexpectedly
apply partial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, continue to depress the accelera-
tor pedal to override the system.
•
Braking distances increase on slippery sur-
faces.
•
Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
•
The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within cer-
tain limitations. The system may not detect
some forms of obstruction of the sensor area
of the front bumper such as ice, snow, stick-
ers, for example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver properly.
Be sure that you check, clean and clear the
sensor area of the front bumper regularly
