Active Emergency Braking - Opel MOKKA Owner's Manual

202 Driving and operating
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle
ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as
fog, rain, or snow
● the sensor in the windscreen or
the radar unit behind the front
bumper are blocked by snow, ice,
slush, mud, dirt etc.
● the windscreen is damaged or
affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
● the bumper is damaged or
affected by foreign objects, e.g.

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. For vehicles equipped with
camera and radar, active emergency
braking also detects cyclists. Before
the active emergency braking
applies, the driver is warned by the
forward collision alert.
Forward collision alert 3 200.
Front pedestrian protection 3 206.
Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 83. Depending on
version, this is only possible at a
standstill. If deactivated, m
illuminates in the Driver Information
Centre. When ignition is switched on
next time, system is automatically
activated.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, radar sensor) to
calculate the probability of a frontal
collision.
9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver's responsibility
for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. It warns the driver if the
vehicle is at risk of a collision with
the preceding vehicle, a
pedestrian or a cyclist. Just before
the imminent collision, it reduces
the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or to limit its severity.
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.
Functionality
Depending on the vehicle
configuration and the detected
objects, there are several operational
speed ranges.
Active emergency braking operates
up to 80 km/h when a pedestrian has
been detected.
On vehicles equipped with radar
sensor and front camera, the active
emergency braking operates up to
80 km/h when a stationary vehicle or
a cyclist has been detected.
