AEB speed limitations

[Ragnar]

While I always try to keep my eye on cars in front of me perticularly in slower heavy traffic I’m curious as to if the AEB has a speed limit as to its operation. Is there a minimum speed where it will not activate , say less than 30 mph.?

Great question, Ragnar. I was curious too and just found this:

Prerequisite for activation
The AEB gets ready to be activated,
when the AEB is selected on the
LCD display, and when the following
prerequisites are satisfied.
- The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control ) is on.
- To enable the system to detect
pedestrians ahead, the vehicle
driving speed must be between 5
mph – 45 mph (8 km/h – 70 km/h).
- To enable the system to detect a
vehicle ahead, the vehicle driving
speed must be between 5 mph –
110 mph (8 km/h – 180 km/h).
When traveling above 50 mph (80
km/h), the AEB system only initiates
partial braking. This is to prevent
unintended full braking to stop in the
middle of the highway

The biggest limitation is not related to how fast you are going. It's limited by how slowly other cars are going. If you're following someone and they change lanes to avoid stopped traffic, AEB won't even see the stopped traffic and if you miss the brake...
