Nissan Leaf (2024 year). Manual in english

Vehicle detected ahead

When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the ve-
hicle by controlling the throttle and apply-
ing the brakes to match the speed of a
slower vehicle ahead. The ICC system then
controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the
driver selected distance.

NOTE:
• The stop lights of the vehicle come on

when braking is performed by the ICC
system.

• When the brake is applied by the sys-

tem, a noise may be heard. This is not a
malfunction.

When the ICC system detects a vehicle
ahead, the vehicle ahead detection indica-
tor and the speed control status indicator
(distance control mode) illuminates (solid
green

Vehicle ahead stops

When the vehicle ahead decelerates to
stop, your vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still. Once your vehicle stops, the ICC sys-
tem automatically applies the brakes to
keep the vehicle stopped. When your ve-
hicle is at a standstill, the “(RES+) Press to
start” message is displayed on the vehicle
information display.

NOTE:

When your vehicle stops for less than 3
seconds, your vehicle will automatically
follow the vehicle as it accelerates from a
stop.

Vehicle ahead accelerates

When your vehicle is stopped and the ve-
hicle ahead begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress the accelera-
tor pedal. The ICC system starts to follow
the vehicle ahead.

Vehicle ahead not detected

When a vehicle is no longer detected
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the previously
set vehicle speed. The ICC system then
maintains the set speed.

When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off
and the speed control status indicator
(maintain speed control mode) illuminates
(green outline

The ICC system gradually accelerates to
the set speed, but you can depress the
accelerator pedal to quickly accelerate.
When a vehicle is no longer detected and
your vehicle is traveling under approxi-
mately 15 mph (25 km/h), the ICC system
automatically cancels.

Starting and driving

When passing another vehicle, the set
speed indicator

flashes when the ve-

hicle speed exceeds the set speed. The ve-
hicle ahead detection indicator turns off
when the area ahead of the vehicle is open.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle re-
turns to the previously set speed. Even
though your vehicle speed is set in the ICC
system, you can depress the accelerator
pedal when it is necessary to accelerate
your vehicle rapidly.

Cut-in detection

If a vehicle moves into your traveling lane
near your vehicle, the ICC system may in-
form the driver by flashing the vehicle
ahead detection indicator.

Approach warning

If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the sys-
tem warns the driver with the chime and
ICC system display. Decelerate by depress-
ing the brake pedal to maintain a safe ve-
hicle distance if:
• The chime sounds.
• The vehicle ahead detection indicator

and set distance indicator blink.

• You judge it necessary to maintain a safe

distance.

The warning chime may not sound in
some cases when there is a short distance
between vehicles. Some examples are:
• When the vehicles are traveling at the

same speed and the distance between
vehicles is not changing.

• When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster

and the distance between vehicles is
increasing.

• When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.

The warning chime will not sound when:
• Your vehicle approaches other vehicles

that are parked or moving slowly.

• The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-

riding the system.

NOTE:

The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may flash when
the radar sensor detects objects on the
side of the vehicle or on the side of the
road. This may cause the ICC system to
decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The
radar sensor may detect these objects
when the vehicle is driven on winding,
narrow, or hilly roads or when the vehicle
is entering or exiting a curve. In these
cases, you will have to manually control
the proper distance ahead of your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or driving position in the lane)
or traffic or vehicle conditions (for ex-
ample, if a vehicle is being driven with
some damage).

Acceleration when passing

When the ICC system is engaged above 44
mph and following a slower vehicle (below
ICC set speed), and the turn signal is acti-
vated to the left, the ICC system will auto-
matically start to accelerate the vehicle to
help initiate passing on the left and will
begin to reduce the distance to the vehicle
directly ahead. Only the left side turn signal
operates this feature. As the driver steers
the vehicle and moves into the passing
lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead the ICC
system will continue to accelerate to the
ICC system set speed. If another vehicle is
detected ahead, then the vehicle will accel-
erate up to the following speed of that ve-
hicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the
left lane to pass, the acceleration will stop
after a short time and regain the set follow-
ing distance. Acceleration can be stopped at
any point by depressing the brake pedal or
the CANCEL switch on the steering wheel.

WARNING

In order to reduce the risk of a collision
that may result in serious injury or
death, please be aware of the following:

•

This function is only activated with
the left turn signal and will briefly ac-
celerate the vehicle even if a lane
change is not initiated. This can in-
clude non-passing situations such as
left side exits.

•

Ensure that when passing another ve-
hicle, the adjacent lane is clear before
initiating the pass. Sudden changes in
traffic may occur while passing.

–

Always manually steer or brake as

needed

–

Never solely rely on the system

ICC system limitations

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations
for the ICC system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death:

•

The ICC system is primarily intended
for use on straight, dry, open roads
with light traffic. It is not advisable to
use the ICC system in city traffic or
congested areas.

•

The ICC system will not adapt auto-
matically to road conditions. This
system should be used in evenly
flowing traffic. Do not use the system
on roads with sharp curves or on icy
roads, in heavy rain or in fog.

•

As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive
or absentminded driving or over-
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or
other bad weather. Decelerate the
vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead and the
surrounding circumstances in order
to maintain a safe distance between
vehicles.

•

When the ICC system automatically
brings the car to a stop, your vehicle
can automatically accelerate if the
vehicle is stopped for less than ap-
proximately 3 seconds. Be prepared
to stop your vehicle if necessary.

5-108

Starting and driving

•

Always pay attention to the opera-
tion of the vehicle and be ready to
manually control the proper follow-
ing distance. The ICC system may not
be able to maintain the selected dis-
tance between vehicles (following
distance) or selected vehicle speed
under some circumstances.

•

The system may not detect the ve-
hicle in front of you in certain road
or weather conditions. To avoid acci-
dents, never use the ICC system un-
der the following conditions:

–

On roads with heavy, high-speed

traffic or sharp curves

–

On slippery road surfaces such as

on ice or snow, etc.

–

During bad weather (rain, fog,

snow, etc.)

–

When rain, snow or dirt adhere to

the bumper around the distance
sensor

–

On steep downhill roads (the ve-

hicle may go beyond the set vehicle
speed and frequent braking may
result in overheating the brakes)

–

On repeated uphill and downhill

roads

–

When traffic conditions make it dif-

ficult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration

–

Interference by other radar sources

•

In some road or traffic conditions, a
vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using the
ICC system where not recommended
in this warning section.

The ICC system will not detect the following
objects:
• Stationary or slow moving vehicles
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
• Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel

lane

The following are some conditions in which
the radar sensor cannot properly detect a
vehicle ahead and the system may not op-
erate properly:
• When the sensor detection is reduced

(conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust
storms, sandstorms, and road spray from
other vehicles)

• Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads

with sharp curves

• Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as

an uneven dirt road

• If dirt, ice, snow or other material is cover-

ing the radar sensor area

• A complicated-shaped vehicle such as a

car carrier trailer or flatbed truck/trailer is
near the vehicle ahead

• Interference by other radar sources
• When excessively heavy baggage is

loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of
your vehicle

The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the radar sensor’s operation
within the limitations of the system.

The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the de-
tection zone for the ICC system to maintain
the selected distance from the vehicle
ahead. A vehicle ahead may move outside
of the detection zone due to its position
within the same lane of travel. Motorcycles
may not be detected in the same lane
ahead if they are traveling offset from the
center line of the lane. A vehicle that is en-
tering the lane ahead may not be detected
until the vehicle has completely moved into
the lane.

Starting and driving

5-109

If this occurs, the ICC system may warn
you by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime. The driver may have
to manually control the proper distance
away from the vehicle traveling ahead.

The ICC system (with ProPILOT Assist) uses
a multi-sensing front camera. The follow-
ing are some conditions in which the
camera may not properly detect a vehicle
and detection of a vehicle ahead may be
delayed:
• Poor visibility (conditions such as rain,

snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and
road spray from other vehicles)

• The camera area of the windshield is

fogged up or covered with dirt, water
drops, ice, snow, etc.

• Strong light (for example, sunlight or high

beams from oncoming vehicles) enters
the front camera

• A sudden change in brightness occurs

(for example, when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or shaded area or lightning
flashes)

LSD2898

5-110

Starting and driving

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a ve-
hicle traveling ahead. This may cause the
radar system to decelerate or accelerate
the vehicle.

The detection of vehicles may also be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering ma-
neuver or traveling position in the lane, etc.)
or vehicle condition.

If this occurs, the ICC system may warn
you by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime unexpectedly. You will
have to manually control the proper dis-
tance away from the vehicle traveling ahead.

System Temporarily Unavailable

The following are conditions in which the
ICC system may be temporarily unavail-
able. In these instances, the ICC system
may not cancel and may not be able to

STEERING ASSIST

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Steer-
ing Assist could result in serious injury
or death.

•

The Steering Assist is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to correct care-
less, inattentive or absent-minded
driving. The Steering Assist will not
always steer the vehicle to keep it in
the lane. It is not designed to prevent
loss of control. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the traveling lane,
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.

•

As there is a performance limit to the
Steering Assist’s capability, never
rely solely on the system. The Steer-
ing Assist does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather, and road
conditions. Always drive safely, pay
attention to the operation of the ve-
hicle, and manually control your ve-
hicle appropriately.

•

The Steering Assist is intended for
use on well-developed freeways or
highways with gentle (moderate)
curves. To avoid risk of an accident,
do not use this system on local or
non-highway roads.

•

The Steering Assist only steers the
vehicle to maintain its position in the
center of a lane. The vehicle will not
steer to avoid objects in the road in
front of the vehicle or to avoid a ve-
hicle moving into your lane.

•

It is the driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle
in the traveling lane, and be in control
of the vehicle at all times. Never take
your hands off the steering wheel
when driving. Always keep your hands
on the steering wheel and drive your
vehicle safely.

5-114

Starting and driving

•

Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the Steering Assist.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the
Steering Assist. To avoid serious in-
jury or death, do not rely on the sys-
tem to prevent accidents or to con-
trol the vehicle’s speed in emergency
situations. Do not use the Steering
Assist except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.

Steering Assist operation

The Steering Assist controls the steering
system to help keep your vehicle near the
center of the lane when driving. The Steer-
ing Assist is combined with the Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional
information, see “Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC) (with ProPILOT Assist)” (P. 5-103).

The Steering Assist can be activated when
the following conditions are met:
• The ICC system is activated.
• Lane markers on both sides are clearly

detected.

• A vehicle ahead is detected (when the

vehicle is driven at speeds under 37 mph
[60 km/h]).

• The driver grips the steering wheel.
• The vehicle is driven at the center of the

lane.

• The turn signals are not operated.
• The windshield wiper is not operated in

the high (HI) speed operation (the steer-
ing assist function is disabled after the
wiper operates for approximately 10
seconds).

tion display turn green. A chime sounds
when the Steering Assist initially activates.

When the Steering Assist deactivates, the
Steering Assist status indicator (1), the
Steering Assist indicator (2), and the lane
marker indicator (3) on the vehicle informa-
tion display turn gray and a chime sounds
twice.

Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)

When a curve or strong cross wind exceeds
the capabilities of the Steering Assist and
your vehicle approaches either the left
or the right side of the traveling lane, a
warning chime sounds and the I-LI indica-
tor light (orange) on the instrument panel
flashes to alert the driver. Then, the I-LI sys-
tem automatically applies the brakes for
a short period of time to help assist the
driver to return the vehicle to the center of
the traveling lane. This action is in addition
to any Steering Assist actions.

5-116

Starting and driving

Hands on detection

When the Steering Assist is activated, it moni-
tors the driver’s steering wheel operation.

If the steering wheel is not operated or the
driver takes his/her hands off the steering
wheel for a period of time, the warning

appears in the vehicle information display.

If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel after the warning has been dis-
played, an audible alert sounds and the
warning flashes in the vehicle information
display, followed by a quick brake applica-
tion to request the driver to take control of
the vehicle again.

If the driver still does not respond, the Pro-
PILOT Assist turns on the hazard flasher
and slows the vehicle to a complete stop.

The driver can cancel the deceleration at
any time by steering, braking, accelerating,
or operating the ProPILOT Assist switch.

WARNING

Steering Assist is not a system for
hands-free driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and drive
your vehicle safely. Failure to do so
could cause a collision resulting in seri-
ous personal injury or death.

CONVENTIONAL (fixed speed)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE

NOTE:

ProPILOT Assist provides no approach
warnings, automatic braking, or steering
assist in the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode.

This mode allows driving at a speed be-
tween 25 to 90 mph (40 to 144 km/h) with-
out keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.

WARNING

•

In the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise

control

mode,

warning

chime does not sound to warn you if
you are too close to the vehicle
ahead, as neither the presence of the
vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance is detected.

•

Pay special attention to the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you or a collision could occur.

•

Always confirm the setting in the ICC
system display.

•

Do not use the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode when driv-
ing under the following conditions:

–

When it is not possible to keep the

vehicle at a set speed

–

In heavy traffic or in traffic that

varies in speed

–

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the RAB
system could result in serious injury or
death.

•

The RAB system is a supplemental
aid to the driver. It is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures.
Always use the side and rear mirrors
and turn and look in the direction you
will move before and while backing
up. Never rely solely on the RAB sys-
tem. It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely, and be in con-
trol of the vehicle at all times.

•

There is a limitation to the RAB sys-
tem capability. The RAB system is not
effective in all situations.

•

Inclement

weather

ultrasonic

sources such as an automatic car wash,
a truck’s compressed-air brakes or a
pneumatic drill may affect the function
of the system; this may include reduced
performance or a false activation.

The RAB system can assist the driver when
the vehicle is backing up and approaching
objects directly behind the vehicle.

The RAB system detects obstacles behind
the vehicle using the parking sensors

located on the rear bumper.

NOTE:

You can temporarily cancel the sonar
function in the vehicle, but the RAB sys-
tem will continue to operate. For addi-
tional information, see “Rear Sonar Sys-
tem (RSS) (P. 5-168).

RAB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations
for the RAB system. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for proper
use of the RAB system could result in
serious injury or death.

•

When the vehicle approaches an ob-
stacle while the accelerator or brake
pedal is depressed, the function may
not operate or the start of operation
may be delayed. The RAB system may
not operate or may not perform suffi-
ciently due to vehicle conditions, driv-
ing conditions, the traffic environment,
the weather, road surface conditions,
etc. Do not wait for the system to oper-
ate. Operate the brake pedal by your-
self as soon as necessary.

•

If it is necessary to override RAB op-
eration, strongly press the accelera-
tor pedal.

•

Always check your surroundings and
turn to check what is behind you be-
fore and while backing up. The RAB
system detects stationary objects be-
hind the vehicle. The RAB system does
not detect the following objects:

–

Moving objects

–

Low objects

–

Narrow objects

–

Wedge-shaped objects

–

Objects close to the bumper (less

than approximately 1 ft [30 cm])

–

Objects that suddenly appear

–

Thin objects such as rope, wire,

chain, etc.

•

The RAB system may not operate for
the following obstacles:

–

Obstacles located high off the

ground

–

Obstacles in a position offset from

your vehicle

–

Obstacles, such as spongy materi-

als or snow, that have soft outer
surfaces and can easily absorb a
sound wave

•

The RAB system may not operate in
the following conditions:

–

There is rain, snow, ice, dirt, etc.,

attached to the sonar sensors.

–

A loud sound is heard in the area

around the vehicle.

–

The surface of the obstacle is di-

agonal to the rear of the vehicle.

•

The RAB system may unintentionally
operate in the following conditions:

–

There is overgrown grass in the

area around the vehicle.

–

There is a structure (e.g., a wall, toll

gate equipment, a narrow tunnel,
a parking lot gate) near the side of
the vehicle.

–

There are bumps, protrusions, or

manhole covers on the road sur-
face.

–

The vehicle drives through a draped

flag or a curtain.

–

There is an accumulation of snow

or ice behind the vehicle.

–

An ultrasonic wave source, such as

another vehicle’s sonar, is near the
vehicle.

•

Once the automatic brake control
operates, it does not operate again
if the vehicle approaches the same
obstacle.

•

The automatic brake control can only
operate for a short period of time.
Therefore, the driver must depress
the brake pedal.

5-128

Starting and driving

•

In the following situations, the RAB
system may not operate properly or
may not function sufficiently:

–

The vehicle is driven in bad weather

(rain, fog, snow, etc.).

–

The vehicle is driven on a steep

hill.

–

The vehicle’s posture is changed

(e.g., when driving over a bump).

–

The vehicle is driven on a slippery

road.

–

The vehicle is turned sharply by

turning the steering wheel fully.

–

Snow chains are used.

–

Wheels or tires other than NISSAN

recommended are used.

–

The brakes are cold at low ambi-

ent temperatures or immediately
after driving has started.

–

The braking force becomes poor

due to wet brakes after driving
through a puddle or washing the
vehicle.

•

Turn the RAB system off in the fol-
lowing conditions to prevent the oc-
currence of an unexpected accident
resulting from sudden system op-
eration:

–

The vehicle is towed.

–

The vehicle is carried on a flatbed

truck.

–

The vehicle is on the chassis dyna-

mometer.

–

The vehicle drives on an uneven

road surface.

–

The vehicle is towing an object

(if so equipped).

–

Suspension parts other than those

designated as Genuine NISSAN
parts are used. (If the vehicle height
or the vehicle body inclination is
changed, the system may not de-
tect an obstacle correctly.)

–

If the vehicle is using an accessory

like a bike rack, or cargo carrier
that blocks the sensors.

•

Excessive noise (e.g., audio system
volume, an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

If the RAB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, the RAB warning
light will illuminate, and the “Malfunction:
See Owner’s Manual” warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display.

Action to take

If the warning light illuminates, park the
vehicle in a safe location, turn the EV sys-
tem off, and restart the EV system. If the
warning light continues to illuminate, have
the RAB system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for this service.

NOTE:

If the RAB system cannot be operated
temporarily, the RAB warning light blinks.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

Observe the following items to ensure
proper operation of the system:
• Always keep the parking sensors

clean.

• If the parking sensors are dirty, wipe them

off with a soft cloth while being careful to
not damage them.

• Do not subject the area around the park-

ing sensors

to strong impact. Also, do

not remove or disassemble the parking
sensors. If the parking sensors and pe-
ripheral areas are deformed in an acci-
dent, etc., have the sensors checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.

• Do not install any stickers (including

transparent stickers) or accessories on
the parking sensors

and their sur-

rounding areas. This may cause a mal-
function or improper operation.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the AEB
with

Pedestrian

Detection

system

could result in serious injury or death.

•

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system is a supplemental aid to the
driver. It is not a replacement for
the driver’s attention to traffic condi-
tions or responsibility to drive safely.
It cannot prevent accidents due to
carelessness or dangerous driving
techniques.

•

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system does not function in all driving,

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
(AEB) WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION

5-130

Starting and driving

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
can assist the driver when there is a risk of
a forward collision with the vehicle ahead in
the traveling lane or with a pedestrian
ahead in the traveling lane.

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
uses a radar sensor located on the front of
the vehicle

to measure the distance to

the vehicle ahead in the same lane. For
pedestrians, the AEB with Pedestrian De-
tection system uses a camera installed
behind the windshield

in addition to the

radar sensor.

LSD2861

LSD4662

Starting and driving

5-131

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
operates at speeds above approximately
3 mph (5 km/h). For the pedestrian de-
tection function, the AEB with Pedestrian
Detection system operates at speeds
between 6 – 37 mph (10 – 60 km/h).

If a risk of a forward collision with a vehicle
is detected, the AEB with Pedestrian Detec-
tion system will first provide a warning to
the driver by flashing the vehicle ahead de-
tection indicator and providing an audible
alert. In addition, the AEB with Pedestrian
Detection system applies partial braking.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully, but the AEB with Pedestrian De-
tection system detects that there is still
the possibility of a forward collision, the
system will automatically increase the
braking force.

If the risk of a collision becomes imminent
and the driver does not take action, the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system issues
the second warning to the driver by flash-
ing the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
emergency warning indicator (red), provid-
ing an audible warning, and then automati-
cally applies harder braking.

If a risk of a forward impact with a pedes-
trian is detected, the AEB with Pedestrian
Detection system will provide a warning to
the driver by flashing the AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection emergency warning indica-
tor (red), provides an audible alert and the
system will apply partial braking. If the
driver applies the brakes quickly and force-
fully but the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system detects that there is still the possi-
bility of a forward impact with a pedestrian,
the system will automatically increase the
braking force. If the risk of collision be-
comes imminent and the driver does not
take action, the AEB with Pedestrian Detec-
tion system automatically applies harder
braking.

NOTE:

The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
any braking is performed by the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system.

Depending on vehicle speed and distance
to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well
as driving and roadway conditions, the sys-
tem may help the driver avoid a forward
collision or may help mitigate the conse-
quences if a collision should be unavoid-

able. If the driver is handling the steering
wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system will function
later or will not function.

The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
• When the steering wheel is turned to

avoid a collision.

• When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
• When there is no longer a vehicle or a

pedestrian detected ahead.

If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle
will remain at a standstill for approximately
2 seconds before the brakes are released.
