Automatic Emergency

Braking (AEB)

The AEB system may help avoid or
reduce the damage caused by
front-end collisions. AEB also includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA). When
the system detects a vehicle in the
path ahead that is travelling in the
same direction, it can provide a boost
to braking, or automatically brake the
vehicle, to avoid a collision. This can
help avoid or lessen the severity of
crashes when driving in a forward
gear. Depending on the situation, the
vehicle may automatically brake
moderately or hard. This Automatic
Emergency Braking can only engage if
a vehicle is detected. When detecting
a vehicle, the Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) vehicle ahead indicator light
will be illuminated. See Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) System 0 250.
The system works when driving in a
forward gear between 8 km/h (5 mph)
and 80 km/h (50 mph), or on vehicles
with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC),
above 4 km/h (2 mph). It can detect
vehicles up to approximately 60 m
(197 ft).
Warning
AEB is an emergency crash
preparation feature and is not
designed to avoid collisions. Do not
rely on AEB to brake the vehicle.
AEB will not brake outside of its
operating speed range and only
responds to detected vehicles.
AEB may not:
Detect a vehicle ahead on
winding or hilly roads.
Detect all vehicles, especially
vehicles with a trailer, tractors,
muddy vehicles, etc.
Detect a vehicle when weather
limits visibility, such as in fog,
rain, or snow.

DRIVING AND OPERATING

Warning (Continued)
Detect a vehicle ahead if it is
partially blocked by pedestrians
or other objects.
Complete attention is always
required while driving, and you
should be ready to take action and
apply the brakes and/or steer the
vehicle to avoid crashes.
AEB may slow the vehicle to a
complete stop to try to avoid a
potential collision. If this happens,
AEB may engage the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB) to hold the vehicle at a
stop. Release the EPB or firmly press
the accelerator pedal.
Warning
AEB may automatically brake the
vehicle suddenly in situations
where it is unexpected and
undesired. It could respond to a
turning vehicle ahead, guardrails,
signs, and other non-moving
