Driving
The automatic braking triggered:
- can be even more effective if the driver
presses the brake pedal more firmly,
- may stop the vehicle, holding the brakes on
for 1.5 seconds when stationary to allow
the driver time to take back control of the
vehicle,
- may cause the engine to stall,
- may give rise to a pumping noise, due to
the pressurisation of the braking system.
The collision can be automatically
avoided if the speed difference between
your vehicle and the one ahead is not
more than 9 mph (15 km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do
what is possible to avoid or reduce the
seriousness of the accident by lowering
the speed of impact.
