Intelligent Emergency Braking

Intelligent Emergency Braking monitors the surrounding area in front of the car for vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles, helping to avoid collisions.

If the system determines that there is a risk of colliding with a vehicle, pedestrian or bicycle in front of the vehicle, it will alert the driver through visual and audio alerts and lightly apply automatic braking. This is to prompt the driver to take action to avoid a collision.

If the driver does not take action to decelerate and the risk of a collision increases, the system will apply automatic emergency braking immediately before the collision. This will help avoid the collision or reduce its damage.

In addition, on certain models, when making a right turn at an intersection, the system detects oncoming vehicles traveling straight ahead, vehicles approaching from either side and pedestrians crossing the road. It assists in avoiding collisions or mitigating damage in the event of a collision.

A front-mounted camera installed in the upper-portion of the windshield and front radars detects the presence of vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles. The system then determines if there is a risk of collision from the speed of the vehicle and the distance to the objects ahead.

Some models also use side radar to detect objects approaching from the left or right, such as vehicles or pedestrians.

*Camera and radars specifications vary by model.
