So this happend moments ago. Im in traffic and slowly moving forward when I almost tapped a car from behind. Wondering why the front collison system didnt activate or why the parking sensors didnt chime in. Recently had check system alerts, dismissed due to rainy weather, not so sure anymore. Anyone have a similar issue?
The collision system needs higher speed
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.
Did you have the parking sensors activated? They should have sounded if they were. I'd check them out if they did not sound. You will get an AEB warning in heavy rain or snow if the front plate get obscured.
