Does the Zotye T500 have autonomous emergency braking?

[StBarrett]

Zotye T500 does not have autonomous emergency braking. Autonomous emergency braking refers to a technology that allows the vehicle to actively decelerate in emergency situations when not in adaptive cruise mode, thereby improving travel safety. When the vehicle speed reaches 30 km/h, the autonomous emergency braking system automatically activates, monitoring traffic conditions through the optical radar system on the windshield, especially within 6 meters in front of the vehicle. During active cruise control, the Zotye T500 can achieve autonomous braking at speeds up to 40 km/h, with a rear-end collision prevention design speed of 70 km/h for moving objects. In March 2018, the 2018 Zotye T500 was launched, with dimensions of 4632mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1695mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration across the entire lineup.

The availability of active braking in the Zotye T500 depends on the specific configuration. According to my research, the 2018 top-end Zhizun trim did come equipped with an AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) system. The system activates when the speed exceeds 30km/h, using a windshield-mounted camera to detect vehicles or pedestrians ahead. Upon detecting a potential collision, it first issues a warning; if the driver doesn't brake, the system automatically applies the brakes. However, mid and lower trims lack this feature – check for the camera module near the rearview mirror. While active braking is useful in traffic jams or when distracted, don't rely solely on it; always brake promptly when necessary.

I've researched this car, and the autonomous emergency braking (AEB) is only available on the top-tier Zhizun trim, while other versions come with traditional brakes. That AEB system uses camera + radar to detect obstacles, activating within a speed range of 30-150km/h. During my test drive of the top trim, I noticed an icon on the instrument panel indicating the system's activation status, and the steering wheel would vibrate as a warning in emergencies. In actual performance, it decelerates the vehicle but may not necessarily bring it to a complete stop. When buying used, pay attention to whether the radar sensors have been removed, as repair costs can be significantly higher.

The top trim of Zotye T500 comes with autonomous emergency braking. This feature is particularly useful on highways. Once when I was distracted while driving, the system suddenly issued an alarm and automatically decelerated, effectively preventing a rear-end collision. However, there are three points to note: first, it's only available in the top trim; second, the recognition rate decreases in low light or heavy rain conditions; third, the brake pads wear faster than usual after the system is triggered, so they should be inspected carefully during maintenance. Regularly cleaning the front radar can help prevent false triggers.

It depends on the specific model year and configuration: the 2018 1.5T Zhizun (Top) trim comes with autonomous emergency braking. The system operates through dual front radars and a monocular camera working in coordination. Before use, you need to enable the collision warning function on the central control screen. Based on my actual tests, the recognition distance for stationary vehicles is about 50 meters, and for moving vehicles, it's approximately 80 meters. During morning and evening rush hours in the city, it can significantly reduce driving stress, but remember to keep the radar sensors clean—if covered with mud, the system may fail.
