Active Emergency Braking - Vauxhall Astra 2022 Owner's Manual

Active emergency braking

Active emergency braking can help to
reduce the damage and injury from a
crash with a preceding vehicle, with a
cyclist or with a pedestrian when the
driver does not actively take action
either by manual braking or by
steering. Before active emergency
braking applies, the driver is warned
by the forward collision alert.
The system includes the following
functions:
● forward collision alert
● smart brake assist
● automatic emergency braking
The system uses a camera located at
the top of the windscreen and
depending on version a radar unit
located in the front bumper to
calculate the probability of a frontal
collision.
9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver responsibility for
driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to

the vehicle speed before a
collision.
The system may not react to
animals. After a sudden lane
change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes
and steer to avoid collisions.
