Active Braking on Collision Prevention System

[zrd]

I've had the warning several times pop up on me. The active braking has never activated.
Perhaps my truck active braking for collision prevention is not working?
Anybody with the same experience?
..Yes, I have Active Braking enabled on settings..

It is my understanding that it has two phases - warn and then active braking. If it isn't deemed bad enough then it just warns you, it does not apply the brakes.

Edit: I stand corrected - there are 3 phases - from the owners manual:

If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
another stationary vehicle, a vehicle
traveling in the same direction as yours, or
a pedestrian within your driving path, the
system provides three levels of
functionality:
1. Alert
2. Brake Support
3. Active Braking

Brake support gets the truck ready (whatever that means) for quick braking. Active braking is actually applying the brakes.

I felt the precharged brakes today. I was cruising with adaptive cruise running, sort of weaving through traffic. I just tapped the brakes to kill cruise and it braked hard. I’m not really sure why it happened.

I’ve had the alert come on twice over the past two weeks for no reason that I could tell - but something must have triggered it

I reduced the sensitivity of mine after it warned me a few times WAY too early. Someone was turning ahead of me (like 8 carlengths) - I was already slowing down but it is rather jarring.

How did you adjust?

Thanks!!
I hope it never gets to the point of braking for me by a glitch..

Driver Assist/Pre-Collision menu - there is an option for sensitivity on that menu - I'm doing that from memory, so the menu items might be slightly different.

Sounds like you entered the "zone"

I was midway thru a lane change coming up on a slower car when it did that to me. Makes you feel dumb to the surrounding traffic . We need a flag to wave out the window to indicate technology glitch in progress and give is a wide berth

This exact thing happened to me as well. Basically made me slam on the brakes right in front of a Yota. Now that I know this will happen, I can just temporarily cancel cruise while pulling out of the lane. A hard button to disable adaptive would be nice, like Lane Keep has on the stalk.

You can turn off Cruse control with the same button u use to turn it on. Yes kinda a pain because you have to restart it you can't just hit resume

Isn’t the resume button a dual button? If cruise is active, it functions as ‘Cancel’ (same as tapping brake), then you can tap again to resume.

Awesome Thank you I did not know that and yes it does exactly that. So there is the hard button asked about above to cancel CC.
