Parking Assist - Opel ASTRA Owner's Manual

9 Warning
Active emergency braking is not
designed to apply hard
autonomous braking or to
automatically avoid a collision. It is
designed to reduce the vehicle
speed before a collision. It may not
react for pedestrians or animals.
After a sudden lane change, the
system needs a certain time to
detect the next preceding vehicle.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver shall always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes and steer to avoid
collisions. The system is designed
to work with all occupants wearing
their seat belts.
System limitations
The active emergency braking has
limited or no function during rain,
snow or heavy dirt, as the camera
sensor can be covered by a water
film, dust, ice or snow. In case of
sensor blockage, clean the sensor
cover.
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.
Deactivation
Active emergency braking can be
deactivated by repeatedly pressing
the gap switch V to Off setting,
