Auto Brake is on, the system will perform a
self-test each time the engine is started by
briefly illuminating the warning light. See My

the menu system.
When the engine is switched on, the system
setting that was being used when it was

The warning distance determines the level of
sensitivity used by the system. The warning
distance
Long provides an earlier warning.
Begin by using Long and if the system gives
too many warnings, try changing to Normal.
WARNING
•
The setting
Short should only be used
in situations where traffic is light and
moving at low speeds.
•
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with
Full Auto Brake alerts the driver to the
risk of a collision but this function can-
not reduce the driver’s reaction time.
•
For the system to be as effective as
possible, it is recommended that Dis-
tance Alert be set to 4 or 5, see Dis-
tance Alert – operation (p. 198).
NOTE
•
When Adaptive Cruise Control is used,
the warning light and signal will be
used by that function, even if the
warnings provided by Pedestrian and
Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake
have been deactivated by the driver.
•
In situations where traffic is moving at
considerably different speeds, or if the
vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, warn-
ings may be considered to be late,
even if the setting
Long has been
selected.
Checking settings
The current system settings can be checked
by pressing MY CAR on the center console
control panel and going to
