Emergency braking system

Emergency braking system If your vehicle is approaching a stationary vehicle or another vehicle that is moving in the same direction as you and the Emergency Braking System detects the possibility of a rear-end collision with the motor vehicle in front of you, system offers functionalities with the two levels specified below: 1. Collision warning 2. Emergency braking CollisionWarning: If the system detects that a collision is possible, the warning lamps starts flashing, an intermittent warning buzzer is heard, and a collision warning is displayed on the screen. In order to increase the audibility of the audible warning, the radio is muted and the fans of the air conditioning system are automatically switched off during the warning. If the system detects that you have not taken control of your vehicle to prevent a collision and if it is still possible to determine that a collision is possible, the systemmay start partial braking to warn you and continues to provide collision warnings.

Emergency Braking: If the system continues to detect that you have not the control of vehicle to avoid any crash and is still capable of detecting any possibility of crash, the systemmay perform full braking to reduce the intensity of crash or to avoid crash completely and keeps giving warning to draw your attention. Emergency braking system is active at speeds above 15 km/h approximately. The Emergency Braking System does not become activated when the speed difference between you and the vehicle ahead of you is less than 10 km/h. WARNING Switching off the ESP function shall also cause the Emergency Braking System to turn off automatically. The fact that the Emergency Braking System warning lamp is lit solidly indicates that the system has been shut down by the driver or that the system has shut down due to a fault. In such a case, the system is turned off. It shall not warn you and shall not apply the brakes.

WARNING A collision warning indicates that a possible collision is determined by the system. If you get this warning, always apply the brake yourself and make the necessary manoeuvres to prevent the collision, if required. Failure to observe this may result in loss of control, serious injuries or death. WARNING The Emergency Braking System is a collision avoidance system; however the systemmay never replace safe and careful driving. The system works within certain limits for certain traffic scenarios only. The systemmay not work as expected in all conditions and circumstances. The system certainly does not remove your responsibility to use your car safely and carefully. Failure to observe this warning may result in loss of control, serious injuries or death. The system cannot predict what other drivers in the traffic will do. Always leave a safe distance with the vehicle in front of you while driving. Failure to observe this warning may result in loss of control, serious injuries or death.
