Do not overly rely on the AEB system
●
as this may result in severe injuries or
deaths. The system is only an auxiliary
safety tool. The driver must always
keep a safe distance from vehicles
ahead, control the speed, and be ready
to brake or steer away when necessary.
The driver must keep control of the
vehicle at all times and be fully
responsible for safe driving.
The AEB system is activated only
●
when it exceeds certain speeds. Careful
driving is always required, because the
system may not be triggered correctly.
The AEB system cannot work normally
●
when the ESC function is disabled or
the fault light is on.
If PCW gives an alarm, the driver must
●
brake based on traffic conditions to
decrease vehicle speed or steer away
from obstacles.
If the vehicle travels too close to
●
the vehicle ahead for too long, a
safety distance warning will be given.
If the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly,
collision may be unavoidable.
The system will not trigger AEB when
●
the driver is aware of an emergency
warning but turns the steering wheel,
accelerates, or brakes.
Front mmWave radar sensors may
●
have a transient function failure from
limited detection if the vehicle runs
under special conditions, such as
circular ramps or tunnels, for an
extended period. The function can be
recovered by restarting the vehicle or
driving on normal roads for a while.
Sometimes the front mmWave radar
●
or multi-purpose camera detect dirt
or foreign matter on its surface, then
PCW and AEB would malfunction, you
need to clean the dirt or foreign matter
immediately.
As the pedestrian protection function
●
is limited by certain physical
conditions, the driver must take timely
and effective control of the vehicle
under dangerous conditions.
The system cannot completely protect
●
pedestrians or avoid accidents and
severe injuries on its own.
Under certain complex conditions,
●
the pedestrian protection function
may trigger unnecessary warning or
braking. For example, on the curving
main lane.
System failure may trigger wrong
●
warnings or braking. This may
be caused, for example, by the
misalignment of the front mmWave
radar or multi-purpose camera.
The brake pedal becomes harder if
●
AEB is triggered. A large amount of
hydraulic pressure will be required to
push the caliper in a short time and
there will be a sizzling noise.
The AEB system activates only after all
●
doors are closed and all occupants are
buckled up. Note: The AEB system will
fail to work if:
Any door is not closed or it is opened
●
when the vehicle is moving.
Any seat belt has not been fastened
●
or it is unfastened while the vehicle is
travelling.
The driver accelerates or decelerates
●
rapidly or turns the steering wheel
quickly.
The vehicle is on a sharp curve.
●
System performance may be reduced
●
in the following cases:
Strong front bumper impact from
●
accidents or other causes.
Improperly inflated or worn out
●
tyres.
