Below a speed of 19 mph, emergency
automatic braking may slow down the
vehicle to a complete stop. If the
speed exceeds 19 mph, emergency
automatic braking reduces the speed.
However, the driver must apply the
brake.
Emergency automatic braking may
slow the vehicle to a complete stop to
try to avoid a potential crash. If the
vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for
up to 2 seconds.
● Automatic transmission: If the
vehicle comes to a complete
stop, keep the brake pedal
depressed to prevent the vehicle
from starting off again.
● Manual transmission: If the
vehicle comes to a complete
stop, the engine may stall.
Operation of the function may be felt
by a slight vibration in the brake
pedal.
