NOTICE

The system may not react to slow moving vehicles and will not react to stationary vehicles or vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.

NOTICE

WARNINGs may not appear if the distance to the vehicle ahead is very small or if steering wheel or pedal movements are large (e.g. to avoid a collision).

NOTICE

The system utilizes the same radar sensor as ACC and Forward alert - the same limitations of performance apply.

Advanced emergency brake assist is available at speeds above approximately 5 mph (7 km/h) and improves braking response during emergency braking, when a moving vehicle is detected close ahead.

If the risk of collision increases after the FORWARD ALERT warning is displayed, advanced emergency brake assist is activated. The brakes are automatically applied gently in preparation for rapid braking (this may be noticeable). If the brake pedal is then pressed quickly, full braking is implemented, even if only light pressure is applied to the pedal. See 84, EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA).

Note: Braking performance will only be improved if the driver applies the brakes.

Advanced emergency brake assist will function even if Forward Alert and ACC are switched off. If there is a fault with the system, FORWARD ALERT UNAVAILABLE is displayed in the message center. The vehicle can still be driven and the braking system will still operate, but without advanced emergency brake assistance. Seek qualified assistance to have the fault rectified.
