Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
The Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system is a driver aid and not safety device. The driver should always exercise due care and attention whilst driving.
The Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) is an enhanced version of Intelligent Emergency Braking (IEB) and is an aid that combines two functions:
- A forward collision warning informs the driver of a collision risk concerning the vehicle ahead, providing the driver with an opportunity to avoid the situation by braking or steering.
- If the driver does not react, the Intelligent Emergency Braking (IEB) system applies full braking, with the aim to avoid or limit the collision impact velocity.
The system uses the IPMA, mounted adjacent to the rear view mirror, to capture a view of the road ahead. The IPMA hosts the AEB feature.
The AEB provides the following functions:
- Activates an audible collision risk warning to the driver.
- Activates a visual driver warning.
- Automatically applies the braking system.
- Provides a confirmation message to the driver that the system has been triggered.
The system will only be operational when driving on normal roads. AEB will have reduced performance when the vehicle is off-road. However it is advised that the system is deactivated while driving off road.
