The Active emergency braking system (AEBS) alerts the driver of a potential collision risk with pedestrians, cyclists, or vehicles, enabling appropriate emergency maneuvers such as pressing the brake pedal or turning the steering wheel, while providing warnings through sound, images, and braking to facilitate these emergency actions.

Depending on the reactivity of the driver, the system can assist with braking in order to limit damage or prevent a collision.

  • If the driver brakes late;
  • If the driver's braking force is excessively weak;
  • If the driver doesn't brake at all.

The system is otherwise inactive and does not trigger an alert.

■ Location of camera 1 and radars 2

Using information from the front camera 1 and the front radar 2, the system determines the distance between your vehicle.

When the vehicle is powered on, the system begins a self-check, during which the system functions are not available.

Ensure that the front camera and front radar areas are clean. If the front camera or front radar becomes dirty or is affected by weather conditions such as rain, it may impact the system's performance. If the camera or radar is limited in operation or inoperable, a related message may appear on the instrument panel.

This feature is a driver assistance function designed to enhance the convenience and safety of vehicle operation, but it cannot handle all situations under every traffic, weather, and road condition.

Drivers are encouraged to read all information related to this feature in this manual before using the system and to be aware of its limitations and necessary knowledge.

warning

This function is an additional driving aid.

This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.

The driver must always operate the vehicle safely at an appropriate speed, maintain a proper distance from other vehicles, and comply with current traffic regulations.

No system can guarantee 100% normal operation in any situation. Therefore, do not intentionally drive the vehicle toward people or objects to test its performance, as this could result in accidents and injuries.For safety reasons, the system will not operate if the driver is not wearing a seatbelt.

Generally, the system operates in the background without the driver's awareness.When the system detects a potential danger, it may provide warnings or apply the brakes to protect the occupants. Due to performance limitations, the system may operate incorrectly.

The driver should always remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings.The system does not respond to animals, small vehicles (e.g., tricycles), vehicles with irregular shapes,pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, or crossing vehicles.

If the vehicle experiences a collision or strong vibrations, the position of the front radar may shift, leading to decreased system performance. In severe cases, an error message may appear in the system. In such instances, you should contact an authorized service center for inspection as soon as possible.

The vehicles, pedestrians, situations, and roads recognized by the system can vary, so the system may not always maintain the same performance.

This feature does not activate at low vehicle speeds, meaning it will not intervene or apply the brakes when approaching a preceding vehicle or pedestrian at low speeds, such as when parking.

■ Settings

This system is activated by default every time the vehicle is powered on.

If there is a malfunction in the system, a warning light will illuminate on the instrument panel. You should contact an authorized service center for maintenance as soon as possible.

From the left menu on the central screen, select [My apps] -[Driver assistance]-[Active driver assist], then you can enable the [Emergency braking assist] feature under the [Collision avoidance assist] section. You can also adjust the sensitivity under the [Forward collision warning] section. The previously set sensitivity is saved, so you do not need to set it each time.

"Warning anticipation": adjust the alert sensitivity level. To do this select:

  • [Off]: Select this when no alerts are needed. In this case, no alerts will be triggered at speeds below 10 km/h, but alerts will occur at speeds above 10 km/h;
  • [Late]: Short distance and relatively late timing;
  • [Standard]: Average distance with timing between low and high;
  • [Early]: Long distance and relatively quick timing.

If alerts are too frequent, you can lower the sensitivity to reduce the number of alerts.

warning

For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments while the vehicle is stationary.

■ Included features

When the system detects a hazard, it assists the driver in the following ways:

▶ Distance warning (DW)

The distance warning operates in non-emergency situations. When the vehicle speed exceeds 65 km/h, it alerts the driver if the distance to the vehicle ahead is too short, prompting the driver to adjust their driving behavior and maintain an appropriate distance.

▶ Front collision warning (FCW)

When the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h, if the system detects a potential collision risk, it notifies the driver of the potential collision risk through an alarm sound and warning messages on the instrument panel.

▶ Emergency brake assist (EBA)

If a hazard occurs when the vehicle speed is above 30 km/h, but the driver's current braking force is insufficient, the system increases braking force to help avoid or mitigate a collision.

▶ Active emergency braking (AEB)

If a hazard occurs and the driver is unable to brake effectively, the system intervenes in a timely manner through the emergency braking assist feature to avoid or mitigate a collision. This feature can reduce the vehicle speed by up to 60 km/h.

■ Feature activation

▶ System operating speed

The system operates when the front target is a vehicle and the vehicle speed is within the range of 4 ~ 150 km/h. If the speed is outside this range, the system will not operate.

When the front target is a pedestrian or a two-wheeled vehicle, the system operates when the vehicle speed is within the range of 4 ~ 90 km/h. If the speed is outside this range, the system will not operate.

▶ Vehicle collision mitigation assist

The vehicle collision mitigation assist can help avoid or mitigate collisions with other vehicles. A primary application scenario is the rear-end collision of a moving vehicle.

When the forward collision warning function detects a risk of collision, it alerts the driver through an alarm sound, instrument panel messages, and emergency braking to encourage timely responses and reduce collision risks.

If the driver does not apply sufficient braking or fails to brake, the brake assist or front collision mitigation support actively intervenes to mitigate or avoid the collision, and messages will be displayed on the instrument panel along with an alarm sound.

▶ Pedestrian collision prevention assist

The pedestrian collision prevention assist can help avoid or mitigate collisions with pedestrians. A primary application scenario is when a pedestrian crosses the road.

When the forward collision warning function detects a risk of collision, it alerts the driver through an alarm sound, instrument panel messages, and emergency braking to encourage timely responses and reduce collision risks.

If the driver does not apply sufficient braking or fails to brake, the brake assist or front collision mitigation support actively intervenes to mitigate or avoid the collision, and messages will be displayed on the instrument panel along with an alarm sound.

▶ Cyclist collision prevention assist

The cyclist collision prevention assist can help avoid or mitigate collisions with cyclists. A primary application scenario is the crossing or rear-end collision involving a bicycle.

When the forward collision warning function detects a risk of collision, it alerts the driver through an alarm sound, instrument panel messages, and emergency braking to encourage timely responses and reduce collision risks.

If the driver does not apply sufficient braking or fails to brake, the brake assist or front collision mitigation support actively intervenes to mitigate or avoid the collision, and messages will be displayed on the instrument panel along with an alarm sound.

■ Vehicle detection

This system can distinguish and detect obstacles such as cars, trucks, buses, and pedestrians.

▶ Detection of vehicles

The system can detect most vehicles that are either stationary or moving in the same direction.

At night, it can only detect vehicles within a certain range if their headlights are properly turned on.

▶Detection of pedestrians

The system achieves the best performance when it can detect clear information about the shape of pedestrians. This means that the system can clearly recognize a person's head, arms, shoulders, thighs, upper body, and lower body, combining these with standard human movements.

For example, if the color of a pedestrian's clothing contrasts sharply with the background color, the system can detect the pedestrian against the background.

If the contrast is low, the pedestrian may be detected late or not at all, meaning that warnings and braking may be delayed or not executed.

If a pedestrian is partially obscured, the clothing may make it difficult to determine their shape. Additionally, if the pedestrian is less than approximately 0.8 meters tall or carrying a large object, they may not be detected, preventing braking.

▶ Detection of cyclists

Cyclists must be adults, and the bicycle should be an adult-sized product. The system can achieve optimal performance only when it detects distinct contour information of the human body and the bicycle. This means that the system can clearly recognize the bicycle, head, arms, shoulders, thighs, upper body, and lower body, integrating these with standard human movements.

If the cyclist is partially obscured, if there is poor background contrast, or if the bicycle is loaded with large objects, the system may fail to detect them, preventing braking from being executed.

■ Temporarily not available

The system may have limitations in certain situations.

▶ Surrounding environment

Please note that the front camera and front radar may not detect all hazardous obstacles ahead in every situation.

Adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog can impair system performance. In such cases, some targets may not be detected, or detection may occur too late.

Strong sunlight, reflections, and extreme light contrasts can make it difficult for the driver to see visual warning signals and may also affect the detection capabilities of the front camera.

On slippery surfaces, the vehicle's braking distance increases, reducing the system's collision avoidance performance.

If the indoor temperature is very high, the front camera may temporarily shut down, and the system may not display warnings.

In complex driving conditions, the system may unnecessarily apply the brakes. For example, this can occur in construction zones, near railway crossings, around manhole covers, or when water splashes or sprays in front of the vehicle.

▶ Visibility of the front camera and front radar

In certain scenarios, such as roads with fences, tunnels, vehicle entrances and exits ahead, and sharp turns, the detection capability of the front radar may be affected.

To ensure normal operation of the system, keep the front camera, front radar, and surrounding areas clean. Do not place or attach anything in front of the front camera or front radar, as this may prevent the system from functioning properly.

In some cases, the field of view of the front camera and front radar may be limited. The system may detect vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists later than expected or may not detect them at all.

If the front camera is obstructed or its functionality is limited, performance may degrade or become unavailable.

To detect vehicles at night, the headlights and parking lights must be on and very bright.

When the vehicle speed exceeds 90 km/h, the warning and braking intervention functions for pedestrians and cyclists will be disabled.

▶ Driver intervention

In the event of an emergency braking, the driver can deactivate the system operation at any moment, even if a collision is unavoidable, by:

  • tapping the accelerator pedal;

    or

  • turning the steering wheel as a collision avoidance manoeuvre.

While emergency braking is activated, the driver will need to apply greater force to the brake pedal.

The system will come to a stop when reversing.

■ Avoidance steering assist

When a collision with vehicles, two-wheeled vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians is detected in the direction of travel, the system assists the driver by providing steering torque support during evasive maneuvers, helping to avoid an accident.

▶ Operation

The avoidance steering assist feature activates automatically when an imminent collision with an obstacle is detected and the driver initiates an evasive maneuver. While the driver performs the avoidance action, the system intervenes with torque in the power steering.

This feature can operate when vehicle speeds are approximately 50 ~ 120 km/h.

If the front camera and front radar are not functioning, a warning light will illuminate on the instrument panel , and the avoidance steering assist feature will not operate.

warning

The avoidance steering assist feature amplifies the driver's steering ability only when it follows the driver's steering intentions and is sufficient to avoid a collision. The driver can manually disengage the avoidance steering assist system by steering the wheel in the opposite direction.

warning

The emergency braking assist system is designed to support safe driving, but it does not guarantee 100% collision prevention in all situations. Therefore, due to various external factors such as traffic conditions, road conditions, ambient light, and weather, there may be instances where the system fails to detect vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists.

Even when the brakes are activated by the emergency braking assist system, it may not achieve full braking depending on the movement of the vehicle in front, road surface conditions, traffic situations, and the surrounding environment.

In cases where emergency braking is necessary, the system can apply maximum braking force. For safety reasons, always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle and make sure that it is loaded so that no items can be thrown forward and hit the occupants.

The driving assist system may control the brakes when necessary, and during this time, operational sounds may occur from the braking system.

warning

This function is an additional driving aid.

This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.

The driver is responsible for adhering to speed limits and maintaining attention to driving. Therefore, do not rely solely on this feature under any circumstances. The driver should always be prepared to apply the brakes.

If braking is deemed necessary, do not wait for warnings or interventions from the emergency braking assist system; instead, apply the brake pedal to stop.

warning

Never test the operation of the emergency braking assist system by directing it towards people, animals, vehicles, or objects. This could result in serious property damage or endanger lives.

If the sensors are out of their normal position due to a front collision or impact, the system may not operate normally, even if warning lights or messages do not appear on the instrument panel. Please visit an authorized service center for inspection.

warning

If the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 80 km/h, the system may not activate or display warnings for stationary vehicles ahead.

warning

Depending on the direction and speed of the front vehicle or pedestrian, as well as the condition of the vehicle being controlled by the driver, the system may not operate or may only issue warnings.

warning

During the operation of the emergency braking assist device, if you apply pressure to the accelerator pedal or turn the steering wheel, the emergency braking assist function will be disabled, even if there is a risk of collision.

warning

Emergency braking assist system

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle. The triggering of this function may be delayed or prevented when the system detects clear signs of control of the vehicle by the driver (action on the steering wheel, pedals etc.).

The system cannot be activated:

  • the gear control is in Neutral position;
  • when the parking brake is engaged;
  • when the Electronic Stability Program (ESC) has started.

Systemservicing/repair

  • In the event of an impact, the radar and/or camera alignment may be changed, and its operation may consequently be affected. Deactivate the function and consult an authorised dealer.
  • Any work in the area where the radar and/or camera is located (repairs, replacements, windscreen modifications, etc.) must be carried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

warning

System disturbance

Some conditions can disturb or damage the system's operation. In such cases, the driver should apply the brake pedal to reduce speed, such as:

  • a complex environments (metal bridge, tunnel, etc.), roads where front cameras and radar sensors have difficulty accurately detecting objects (such as hilly roads and curves), and external protrusions on the rear of vehicles.
  • when the vehicle in front of the driver moves to the adjacent lane and, after that, another vehicle suddenly appears in front of the driver's vehicle, or when a vehicle in the adjacent lane suddenly cuts in front of the driver, or when a vehicle next to the driver is detected by the front camera and radar sensors on a curved road.
  • poor weather conditions (rain, snow, hail, black ice, etc.);
  • poor visibility (night, fog, etc.);
  • poor contrast between the object (vehicle, pedestrian etc.) and the surrounding area (e.g. pedestrian dressed in white located in a snowy area etc.);
  • being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction; etc.);
  • windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.);
  • ...
In these conditions, the system may not react, may warn the driver or may brake inadvertently.

Other driver precautions

  • Drivers must always remain vigilant for potential hazards, even if no warnings are displayed or audible alerts are sounded.
  • Due to speaker sounds and surrounding noise, drivers may not hear the system's warning alerts. Always stay alert.
  • The emergency braking assistance system operates by assessing the risk level based on the distance to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, relative speed, and the driver's response. Do not attempt dangerous driving maneuvers that may interfere with the system's operation.
  • For a vehicle to be detected at night, its headlights and taillights must be turned on brightly.
  • Do not place, attach, or mount any objects in front of or around the windshield where the camera and radar units are located.
  • Objects, snow, ice, or foreign substances on the camera sensor area may reduce functionality, cause the system to turn off, or prevent it from responding correctly.
  • Never test the operation of the emergency braking assistance system by directing it toward people, animals, vehicles, or objects, as this may result in serious property damage or pose a risk to life.
warning

Limitation of the system operation

  • Each time the vehicle is started, the system carries out a calibration according to the vehicle surroundings and may be inactive for approximately two to five minutes;
  • Vehicles driving in the opposite direction do not affect the system;
  • The radar and camera areas must be kept clean and free of any modifications to ensure the proper functioning of the system;
  • The system may not respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes as effectively as to other vehicles;
  • The system may not operate properly when the road surface is slippery (rain, snow, black ice, etc.);
  • To ensure correct operation, the system needs to distinguish the complete outline of pedestrians or cyclists. Therefore, the system cannot detect:
    • pedestrians or cyclists in the darkness or in poor lighting conditions;
    • partially visible pedestrians or cyclists
    • pedestrians less than approximately 80 cm;
    • Pedestrians or cyclists carrying large objects;
    • etc.

In these conditions, the system may not react, may warn the driver, or may brake inadvertently.

Deactivating the function

You must deactivate the function if:

  • If the stop lights are not functioning
  • the camera area has been damaged (e.g. on the inside or outside of the windscreen);
  • the front of the vehicle was damaged (impact, scratch on the radar, etc.);
  • the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);
  • the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out windscreen repairs in this area; have it changed by an approved dealer);
  • you are not driving on a paved road.

Halting the function

You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accelerator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in a collision avoidance manoeuvre.

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.
