Multi-Collision Brake (Mcb) - Hyundai TUCSON Hybrid Owner's Manual

Multi-Collision Brake (MCB)

(if equipped)
Multi-Collision Brake controls the brake
automatically in the event of an accident
where the air bag deploys to reduce the
risk of additional accidents that may
occur.
System operation
From the time the air bag deploys,
Multi-Collision Brake monitors the
depression intensity of the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal for a
short period. The system operates
when the following conditions are
met:
- Vehicle speed is under 180 km/h (112
mph) at the time of collision.
- The brake pedal and accelerator
pedal is hardly depressed.
When the driver steps on the brake
pedal over a certain level while Multi-
Collision Brake is active, the braking
power takes priority over automatic
braking by Multi-Collision Brake
system. However, if the driver takes
his/her foot off the brake pedal, Multi-
Collision Brake system will maintain
automatic braking.
System off
Multi-Collision Brake is canceled in
the following situations:
- The accelerator pedal is depressed
over a certain level.
- The vehicle stops.
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
or electronic devices has
malfunctioned.
- In a situation the system cannot
operate normally.
- Ten seconds have passed since
the brake has been controlled
automatically by Multi-Collision
Brake system.
WARNING
Multi-Collision Brake decreases
vehicle speed after a collision and
reduces the risk of a second collision,
but it does not prevent a second
collision. You may drive away from
the collision spot to avoid other
dangerous situations by depressing
the accelerator pedal.
After the vehicle is stopped by Multi
Collision Brake, the system stops
controlling the brakes.
Depending on the situation, the
driver should depress the brake or
the accelerator pedal to prevent a
further accident.
