- AEB has limits. You must always stay in control and remain fully responsible for the car.
- Choose your speed and following distance to suit the weather, road surface and traffic.
- Performance can be very limited for objects that cut in quickly, targets detected just after you change lanes, and targets on bends.
- Fasten all seat belts and secure all loads in case AEB brakes suddenly.
- AEB does not react to animals.
- Petrol only
- AEB does not react to animals, crossing vehicles, oncoming vehicles, bicycles or pedestrians (as stated in the PHEV manual - some versions do detect pedestrians and cyclists).
- Super Hybrid (SHS-P) only
Unwanted warnings and braking
In some situations AEB may warn or brake when not needed, for example crossing railway tracks or turning into an underground car park. Tunnels, oncoming headlights and reflections from wet roads can also weaken detection.
Sensors
AEB uses a radar at the front of the car and a camera behind the windscreen.Petrol only
AEB uses the camera behind the windscreen.Super Hybrid (SHS-P) only
- Keep the sensors' view clear of dirt and debris.
- Do not modify or decorate the front of the car around the sensors (for example with number plate frames).
- If a sensor is completely covered by snow, the system switches off.
- Knocks, vibration or a collision can reduce performance or stop AEB working. Have the sensors recalibrated by an authorised Jaecoo service centre as soon as possible.
Switch AEB and FCW off when
- The car is being tested on a rolling road (drum tester).
- A temporary (non full-size) spare tyre is fitted. Refit a full-size original tyre as soon as possible.
Caution:If the yellow AEB indicator stays on, have the system checked by an authorised Jaecoo service centre as soon as possible.
Note:These precautions do not cover every situation. AEB may not work as expected for other reasons - you are always responsible for controlling the car.
