If the AEB is selected on, does it signal so on the LCD when you are driving?
I have my car since August this year and this feature kicked in twice. 1st time scared the shit out of me - I am pretty sure I have everything in control, yet the car determined that I wont brake in time hence the emergency brake kicked in ... big Jolted and full stop. Lucky no car were behind me else they would have run up my rear.Second time it kicked in and saved me It is pretty drastic when it kick in. There is no misunderstanding when it happened Lesson learned, now I leave a fair gap between myself and the car up front just in case
Thanks all for the replies. I guess it is one of those things you set and hope it works. The auto brakes work very well with the smart cruise, so maybe that is a clue that feature works.Maybe I need to find a soft target...umm, I could get several witches hats stacked up, sit them on a quiet road and drive at them. If I had several stacked, it would be like a person. The manual says the AEB kicks in greater than 10kmh. I will ask the Dealer if they ever test the AEB and other smarts.
All I know is with the system in the SR using cameras and radar combined it is way more accurate and less likely to give false warnings than the simpler system in my previous Calais. That gave lots of erroneous warnings on the collision detection alert.

What about the poor bugger behind you?Yesterday, I was following a BMW on the freeway and it seemed like he was riding the brake pedal, also braked on a bend as he caught up with cars in the lanes each side of him. AEB?Ive noticed more than the usual brake riding as more AEB cars hit the road.Its a sure way to get rammed from behind.
Thanks Mick, lets go to war!

The ACC wants to maintain a gap and if you're in the right lane and someone comes across from the left it slams the brakes on to establish the gap again. Also hard to slowly close the gap to a vehicle as it keeps the gap.Have asked Hy dealer about resetting it so distance would be less but dealer didnt think it was possible but thought brake lights would be activated when above happened.

In my SR you can adjust the gap between 1 and 4 car lengths ( I set mine at 3 - seems a good compromise) I tended to be a bit of a tailgater before I got automated cruise.

I can set 1-4 but 1 is about 25 metres
