Kia Niro: Assist emergency braking (AEB) / Brake operation
- In an urgent situation, the braking system enters into the ready status for prompt reaction against the driver’s depressing the brake pedal.
- The AEB provides additional braking power for optimum braking performance, when the driver depresses the brake pedal.
- The braking control is automatically deactivated, when the driver sharply depresses the brake pedal, or when the driver abruptly operates the steering wheel.
- The braking control is automatically canceled, when risk factors disappear.
CAUTION
The driver should always pay great caution to vehicle operation, even though there is no warning message or warning alarm.
WARNING
The AEB cannot avoid all collisions. The AEB might not completely stop the vehicle before collision, due to ambient, weather and road conditions. The driver has the responsibility to drive safely and control the vehicle.
WARNING
The AEB operates in accordance with the risk levels, such as the distance from the vehicle/passer- by in front, the speed of the vehicle/passer-by in front, and the driver's vehicle operation.
