Automatic emergency braking

The system brakes briefly to reduce the speed
of impact in a frontal collision by starting to act
on the vehicle's brakes.
This warning lamp flashes when
your vehicle "starts" to brake, but the
system will not completely stop the
vehicle in any circumstances.
You should continue to press firmly on the
brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a
complete stop.
