Vauxhall Astra Owner's Manual page 193

Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal
movement during this time is normal
and the brake pedal should continue
to be applied as needed. Intelligent
brake assist will automatically
disengage only when the brake pedal
is released.
9 Warning
Intelligent brake assist may
increase vehicle braking in
situations when it may not be
necessary. You could block the
flow of traffic. If this occurs, take
your foot off the brake pedal and
then apply the brakes as needed.
Deactivation
On vehicles with front camera active
emergency braking can be
deactivated by repeatedly pressing
the gap switch V to Off setting,
3 186. If deactivated a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
On vehicles with radar sensor the
system can be disabled in the
personalisation menu in the Info
Display 3 123.
Driving and operating
We recommend to deactivate the
system or set it to alert only in the
following cases:
● when the vehicle is being towed
● if a trailer is attached to the
vehicle
● before using an automatic car
wash with ignition switched on
● if the windscreen has been
damaged close to the camera
● if the front bumper has been
damaged
System limitations
In some cases, the active emergency
braking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance
in parking garages, due to traffic signs
in a curve or due to vehicles in
another lane. This is normal
operation, the vehicle does not need
service. Firmly apply the accelerator
pedal to override the automatic
braking if the situation and the
surroundings permit.
