active emergency braking
Using the sensor 1, the system calcu-
lates the distance separating the vehi-
cle from the one in front and alerts the
driver if there is a risk of a front-end col-
lision. The driver can then brake the ve-
hicle to limit the damage arising from a
collision.
note: Make sure that the sensor 1 is
not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
