Question 6613
If the advanced driver assistance system "AEB" is activated, how will it act?
- It will take control of the vehicle's steering and perform an evasive maneuver.
- By warning the driver and, if the driver ignores the warning, taking control of the vehicle to stop it.
- It will emit a rapid flashing of the brake lights when the brakes are applied forcefully in an emergency situation.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: By warning the driver and, if the driver ignores the warning, taking control of the vehicle to stop it.
AEB acts in two steps. First, it warns you about the risk of collision, usually with a beep and a warning light, like the red car and speaker shown on the instrument panel in the image. If you don’t react or don’t brake hard enough, it takes control and brakes to stop the car or at least reduce the impact. It doesn’t turn the steering wheel, and rapidly flashing brake lights belong to a different system, EBD.
