Land Rover Defender: Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) limitations

Vehicle detection Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) does not operate if:

• The vehicle is negotiating a tight corner.
• The forward-facing cameras are dirty or obscured.
• The forward-facing radars are dirty or obscured.

  Note: The fitting of forward-facing radars depends on the vehicle specification.

• The vehicle's speed is below 3 mph (5 km/h), or above 50 mph (80 km/h).
• The vehicle's speed is above 80 mph (130 km/h).

  Note: Dependant on the vehicle specification.

• Visibility is impaired due to severe weather conditions, e.g., heavy rain, fog, or snow.
• The distance required to slow or stop the vehicle is dependent on the condition of the vehicle's tires and the road surface.

In addition to the items listed for the vehicle detection AEB system, the junction assist feature when turning right or left does not operate if:

• Detected vehicles speed is above 39 mph (64 km/h).
• The host vehicle turning left or right speed is above 12 mph (20 km/h).
• The detected object is not identified as a vehicle, cyclist, or pedestrian.
• The height of the object is less than 1 m.
• The junction detection AEB system cannot determine that the target object is a pedestrian or cyclist. For example, if the pedestrian or cyclist is carrying a large object.
• The pedestrian detection AEB system cannot determine that the target object is a pedestrian. For example, if the pedestrian is carrying a large object.

In addition to the items listed for the vehicle detection AEB system, the pedestrian detection AEB system does not operate if:

• The vehicles speed is above 37 mph (60 km/h).
• The detected object is not identified as a pedestrian.
• The height of the object is less than 1 m.
• The pedestrian detection AEB system cannot determine that the target object is a pedestrian. For example, if the pedestrian is carrying a large object.

In addition to the items listed for the vehicle detection AEB system, the cyclist detection AEB system does not operate if:

• The vehicle's speed is above 37 mph (60 km/h).
• The detected object is not identified as a cyclist.
• The cyclist AEB detection system cannot determine that the target object is a cyclist. For example, if the cyclist is carrying a large object.

ADVANCED EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (AEBA)

Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle.

Advanced Emergency Brake Assist (AEBA) prepares the braking system if it detects a collision is imminent. If the driver subsequently presses the brake pedal, full braking force is applied immediately.

AEBA still operates if forward alert is switched off.

ADVANCED EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (AEBA) LIMITATIONS

Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before driving the vehicle. The Advanced Emergency Brake Assist (AEBA) feature does not take away the requirement to always drive with due care and attention.

Driving without due care and attention could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.

The AEBA feature may not react to slow-moving vehicles.

The AEBA feature does not react to vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.

In some circumstances, warnings may not display in the instrument panel. For example, if the distance to the vehicle ahead is very small. Another example includes when carrying out a collision avoidance maneuver by making large steering wheel and pedal movements.

AEBA operates at speeds above approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).

The distance required to slow or stop the vehicle is dependent on the condition of the vehicle's tires and the road surface.
