Fcw And Aeb - MG Gloster Manual

FCW and AEB

The FCW alerts the driver of the front vehicle by visual and acoustic
signals. If the driver fails to take actions within a rational time, the system
will trigger the AEB automatically.
The FCW can prevent collision or decrease collision speed, providing
aid when there is a risk of collision with other vehicles. The AEB is an
auxiliary function which helps the driver to avoid collision at traffic jams,
for example, when an accident may occur due to change of the front
traffic or distraction. When a collision is going to happen, the function
can provide aid for the driver by applying the brake automatically when
the driver does not apply the brake and/or when he/she does not avoid
an obstacle due to slow action.
The AEB provides short, quick braking and it stops the vehicle under
normal situations, exactly behind the front vehicle. For most of the
drivers, this is not a normal driving style, so they may feel uneasy.
The AEB is enabled only when the driver applies the brake in advance,
therefore, it cannot help the driver in all cases. To avoid unnecessary
intervention, the design of the AEB requires late initiation.
Normally, the driver or passenger notices the AEB only when a collision
is coming.
The AEB can decrease the vehicle speed to 40km/h at most, this avoids
collisions with the front vehicle.

STARTING AND DRIVING
If the speed difference is higher than 40km/h, then the AEB cannot avoid
the collision automatically. To completely avoid the collision in this
situation, the driver shall apply the brake in advance.
The AEB shall not be the reason for the driver to change
the driving style at will. If the driver totally relies on the
AEB, a collision will happen sooner or later.

Auto braking.
The FCW and AEB perform three procedures in the sequence below:
1 Collision Warning
First warn the driver of a possible collision. The FCW can detect
stationary vehicle or vehicle moving in the same direction before
the driver's vehicle. When there is a risk of collision with other
vehicles, the vehicle will alert the driver via the blinking "FCW/AEB
Warning Lamp (yellow)"
warning in the form of cadence braking. For low speed, emergency
braking or acceleration, no tactile warning is provided.
2 Brake Support
If the risk of collision has already escalated, then the auxiliary brake
will be enabled. If the system thinks the braking force is not sufficient
to avoid the collision, it will strengthen the braking force of the
acoustic signal and mild tactile
