What does the 'Please Press the Brake Pedal' prompt mean?
1 Answers
This prompt is a function of ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), specifically the active braking system. When this prompt appears, a small car icon will be displayed in the central screen area of the instrument panel. For color screens, the display will be in red, while monochrome screens will simply show a car icon. If the following distance becomes too close, the system will directly prompt 'Please Press the Brake Pedal'. Below is detailed information about the brake pedal: 1. Introduction: The brake pedal, as the name suggests, is the pedal that limits power - it's the pedal for the foot brake (service brake), used for deceleration and stopping. It's one of the five major control components in vehicle operation, with very high frequency of use. How the driver controls it directly affects driving safety. 2. Location: The brake pedal is what's commonly referred to as the 'brake'. There's a small pedal connected to the brake lever above the brake, hence it's also called the 'brake pedal'. There's also a small pedal above the clutch, called the clutch pedal. The clutch is on the left, while the brake is on the right (aligned with the accelerator, with the accelerator being on the right).
