Opel Corsa: Active emergency braking / Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time, when braking is
requested.
Depending on the vehicle
configuration and the detected
objects, there are several operational
speed ranges.
On vehicles equipped only with front
camera, the active emergency
braking operates from 5 km/h to
80 km/h when a vehicle has been
detected...
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash...
Other information:
In some cases, the active emergency
braking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance
in parking garages, due to various
types of objects, i.e., traffic signs or
vehicles in another lane. This is
normal operation, the vehicle does
not need service...
The system monitors the driver's level
of vigilance at speeds above
65 km/h. A camera at the top of the
windscreen detects variations in
trajectory compared to the lane
markings.
If the trajectory of the vehicle
suggests a certain level of
drowsiness or inattention by the
driver, the system triggers the first
level of alert...
