Active Emergency Braking - Vauxhall CORSA Owner's Manual

138 Driving and operating
The front bumper may appear to
be intact, however the sensor
behind may be affected and react
incorrectly. After an accident,
consult a workshop to verify and
adjust the radar unit position.
9 Warning
Do not use a license plate support
on the front bumper to ensure
proper radar unit functionality.
Fault
In the event of a fault with the adaptive
cruise control, you are alerted by the
illumination of a warning light and the
display of a message in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal.
The adaptive cruise control may not
operate correctly if traffic signs do not
comply with the Vienna Convention
on Road Signs and Signals.
Have the system checked by a dealer
or a qualified workshop.
As a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lights are faulty.
Do not use the system if the front
bumper is damaged.

Active emergency braking

Active emergency braking can help to
reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles and
pedestrians directly ahead, when the
driver does not actively take action
either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the forward collision
alert.
Forward collision alert 3 141.
Front pedestrian protection 3 142.
Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 80. If deactivated,
m illuminates in the instrument
cluster and a warning message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. When ignition is switched on
next time, system is activated.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, radar sensor, brake
pressure, vehicle speed) 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
supplemental use only to reduce
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.
9 Warning
Do not use a license plate support
on the front bumper to ensure
proper radar unit functionality.
