The AEB system will function when your vehicle is driven at speeds above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the AEB system will provide an initial warning to the driver by both a visual and audible alert.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully after the warning, and the AEB system detects that there is still the possibility of a forward collision, the system will automatically increase the braking force. If the driver does not take action, the AEB system issues the second visual warning (red and white) and audible warning and also applies partial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the AEB system applies harder braking automatically.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when braking is performed by the AEB system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway conditions, the system may help the driver avoid a forward collision or may help mitigate the consequences of a collision, should one be unavoidable. If the driver is handling the steering wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB system will function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the following conditions:
If the AEB system has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the brakes are released.
