How to activate the automatic emergency braking in Toyota Levin?
2 Answers
Levin's automatic emergency braking is enabled by default and can be activated via the multifunction buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. The automatic braking has certain conditions; it must be directly in front, and sudden lane changes by other vehicles may not trigger it. However, in practical use, it is very effective in preventing distractions during high-speed driving. Here is additional information: 1. Working Principle: The automatic emergency braking system operates based on an optical radar system on the front windshield, monitoring the road ahead, especially within six meters. When an obstacle is detected, it will either steer or brake to prevent an accident. However, the current technology is not fully mature, and many experimental cases show that it may not always successfully stop the vehicle in certain situations. Nevertheless, as an auxiliary system, it can still alert the driver to pay attention to the road conditions ahead. 2. Autonomous Driving Features: The all-new Levin achieves Level 2 autonomous driving capabilities through the DRCC, PCS, and LTA systems, making driving safer and more relaxed. The PCS (Pre-Collision System) can accurately identify moving vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists traveling at speeds over 10 km/h during the day. In emergencies, such as sudden pedestrian crossings, vehicles entering the road unexpectedly, or highway safety incidents where braking is not timely, the system will sound an alarm and automatically apply the brakes firmly to minimize the risk of collision.
When I drove the Leiling before, I researched its pre-collision safety system which includes the automatic emergency braking feature. It utilizes a front millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera to monitor vehicles or pedestrians ahead in real-time. The system activates a three-stage protection protocol when detecting high collision risk with no driver response: first, a warning icon flashes on the instrument panel accompanied by buzzer alerts; if the distance continues closing, it applies mild automatic braking; finally, it executes full-force braking to mitigate collision impact. This proved particularly useful in urban traffic - once when the car ahead braked suddenly before I could react, my vehicle autonomously stopped. Note the system operates between 15-180km/h, and a dirty windshield may impair camera recognition.
