Can the Active Braking Safety System Be Turned Off?

Active braking safety system can be turned off. The relevant introduction and functions of the active braking safety system are as follows: Introduction: Active safety system refers to the safety system including electronic devices such as ABS and ESP. When the vehicle is driving normally without adaptive cruise control, if the vehicle encounters sudden dangerous situations, it can actively generate braking effect to slow down the vehicle. Functions: Avoid rear-end collisions. When the vehicle in front brakes, stops, or encounters other obstacles, this system will first automatically increase the force on the braking system to help the driver shorten the braking distance before taking action; it can also adjust the steering wheel to change the vehicle's driving path to avoid obstacles.
The automatic emergency braking system can indeed be deactivated in most modern vehicles, typically through the vehicle settings menu. For instance, you can find the toggle switch in the infotainment screen options. As someone who has driven various models, I've noticed this system actually has learning capabilities—it adjusts sensitivity based on driving habits. But if you find it overly sensitive, frequently braking unnecessarily (especially in urban traffic congestion), you can temporarily disable it. However, the system will automatically reactivate upon the next ignition start—a safety measure to prevent accident risks from prolonged deactivation. Personally, I recommend only disabling it in specific scenarios like low-speed driving tests; otherwise, keeping it active helps prevent many rear-end collisions. Some brands offer smarter customization—Toyota's system, for example, allows sensitivity adjustment without full deactivation, balancing safety and convenience.
