Vauxhall Grandland X (2023 year). Manual in english - page 7

The chosen setting will remain until it

is changed. The alert timing will vary

based on vehicle speed. The faster

the vehicle speed, the farther away

the alert will occur. Consider traffic

and weather conditions when

selecting the alert timing.

Deactivation

The system can only be deactivated

by deactivating the active emergency

braking in the Info Display

System limitations

Forward collision alert is designed to

warn on vehicles, but may react also

to other objects.
In the following cases, forward

collision alert may not detect a vehicle

ahead or sensor performance is

limited:

● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as

fog, rain, or snow

Driving and operating

215

● the sensor in the windscreen or

the radar unit behind the front

bumper are blocked by snow, ice,

slush, mud, dirt etc.

● the windscreen is damaged or

affected by foreign objects, e.g.

stickers

● the bumper is damaged or

affected by foreign objects, e.g.

license plate support

Active emergency braking

Active emergency braking can help to

reduce the damage and injury from

crashes with vehicles and

pedestrians directly ahead, when the

driver does not actively take action

either by manual braking or by

steering. For vehicles equipped with

camera and radar, active emergency

braking also detects cyclists. Before

the active emergency braking

applies, the driver is warned by the

forward collision alert.
Forward collision alert

Front pedestrian protection

Active emergency braking can be

deactivated in the vehicle

personalisation

89. Depending on

version, this is only possible at a

standstill. If deactivated,

illuminates in the Driver Information

Centre and a warning message may

be displayed. When ignition is

switched on next time, system is

automatically activated.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.

camera sensor, radar sensor, brake

pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate

the probability of a frontal collision.

Warning

This system is not intended to

replace the driver's responsibility

for driving the vehicle and looking

ahead. It warns the driver if the

vehicle is at risk of a collision with

the preceding vehicle, a

pedestrian or a cyclist. Just before

the imminent collision, it reduces

the vehicle's speed to avoid a

collision or to limit its severity.

The system may not react to

animals. After a sudden lane

change, the system needs a

certain time to detect the next

preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready

to take action and apply the brakes

and steer to avoid collisions.

Functionality

Depending on the vehicle

configuration and the detected

objects, there are several operational

speed ranges.
Active emergency braking operates

up to 50 mph when a pedestrian has

been detected.
On vehicles equipped with radar

sensor and front camera, the active

emergency braking operates up to

50 mph when a stationary vehicle or

a cyclist has been detected.
On vehicles equipped only with front

camera, the active emergency

braking operates from 3 mph to

50 mph or 87 mph when a moving

vehicle has been detected.

216

Driving and operating

On vehicles equipped with radar

sensor and front camera, the active

emergency braking operates from

3 mph to 87 mph when a moving

vehicle has been detected.
The system includes:

● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking
● smart brake assist
● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protection

Brake preparation system

When approaching a vehicle ahead

or a pedestrian so quickly that a

collision is likely, the brake

preparation system slightly

pressurises the brakes. This reduces

the response time, when braking is

requested.
The pressurisation of the brakes may

produce a noise in the brake system.

Emergency automatic braking

After activation of brake preparation

system and just before the imminent

collision, this function automatically

applies limited braking to reduce the

impact speed of the collision or

prohibit a crash.
If active emergency braking is

applied,

flashes in the Driver

Information Centre. If active

emergency braking is finished,

flashes for a few seconds. During this

time, active emergency braking

cannot be applied if there is a risk of

a further collision.
Forward collision alert

Front pedestrian protection

Depending on version, below a speed

of 19 mph or 31 mph, emergency

automatic braking may slow down the

vehicle to a complete stop. If the

speed exceeds this limit, emergency

automatic braking reduces the speed.

However, the driver must apply the

brake to come to a complete stop.

● Automatic transmission: If the

vehicle comes to a complete

stop, automatic braking is

maintained for a certain time.

Keep the brake pedal depressed

to prevent the vehicle from

starting off again.

● Manual transmission: If the

vehicle comes to a complete

stop, the engine may stall. Keep

the brake pedal depressed to

prevent the vehicle from rolling

away.

Cruise control and adaptive cruise

control will be deactivated when an

emergency automatic braking occurs.
In some cases, the active emergency

braking system may provide an

automatic braking in situations that

seem to be unnecessary. Firmly apply

the accelerator pedal or firmly turn the

steering wheel to override the

automatic braking if the situation and

the surroundings permit.

Warning

Do not rely on the system to brake

the vehicle. Emergency automatic

braking is only applied just before

the collision and it will not brake

outside of its operating speed

Driving and operating

217

range. It only responds to detected

vehicles and pedestrians. For

vehicles equipped with camera

and radar, it also responds to

detected cyclists.

Antilock brake system

195.

Smart brake assist

If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently

to avoid a collision, this system will

supplement the braking. This

assistance will only be provided if the

driver presses the brake pedal.
Smart brake assist will automatically

disengage when the brake pedal is

released.

Front pedestrian protection

Front pedestrian protection may help

to avoid or reduce the harm caused

by front-end crashes with pedestrians

when driving forward.
The system uses the front camera in

the windscreen and a radar unit in the

front bumper to detect a pedestrian

directly ahead in your path.
Front pedestrian protection can

detect and alert to pedestrians in a

forward gear at speeds between

3 mph and 37 mph. Additionally front

pedestrian protection can provide a

boost to braking or automatically

brake the vehicle.
During nighttime driving, system

performance is limited.

Danger

Front pedestrian braking does not

provide an alert or automatically

brake the vehicle, unless it detects

a pedestrian.

The system may not detect

pedestrians, including children, if

the pedestrian is not directly

ahead, not fully visible, or not

standing upright.

Front pedestrian protection includes:

● detecting front pedestrian ahead
● front pedestrian alert

Front pedestrian protection is

activated together with forward

collision alert.
Forward collision alert

General information

The rear system is deactivated when

a plug is connected to the power

outlet of the trailer hitch.

220

Driving and operating

Warning

The driver bears full responsibility

for the parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding

area when driving backwards or

forwards while using parking

assist system.

Front-rear parking assist

The front-rear parking assist

measures the distance between the

vehicle and obstacles in front and

behind the vehicle. It informs and

warns the driver by giving audible

signals and display indication.
It uses two different audible signals

for the front and rear monitoring

areas, each with a different tone

frequency.

The system operates with ultrasonic

parking sensors in the rear and front

bumper.

Activation

When a forward gear has been

engaged, the front parking assist is

triggered, as soon as an obstacle is

detected in the front and the speed of

the vehicle is below 6 mph.
When the reverse gear has been

engaged, the front parking assist is

triggered additionally to the rear

parking assist.
After engaging the reverse gear, an

audible signal is given from the rear

speakers and a display indication will

be shown. If no audible signal is

given, the display indication is not

shown or a warning message

appears, the system has a failure.

Depending on version the system is

ready to operate when the LED in the

parking assist button

is not

illuminated. The state of the system is

memorised when the ignition is

switched off.

Deactivation

The system is switched off

automically when reverse gear is

disengaged or when the vehicle

speed exceeds 6 mph.

Driving and operating

221

Press

or apply the electric parking

brake to deactivate the system

manually. When the system is

deactivated manually, the LED in the

button illuminates. If the system has

been deactivated manually, it is not

reactivated automatically the next

time the ignition is switched on.

Indication

As soon as an obstacle gets closer to

the vehicle, an audible signal is given

and the symbol

may flash. The

interval between the sounds

becomes shorter as the vehicle gets

closer to that obstacle. When the

distance is less than approx. 30 cm,

the sound is continuous.
Audible signals are given via front or

rear loudspeakers depending on

which detected obstacle is nearest to

the vehicle.
If the vehicle stops for more than

three seconds, if the automatic

transmission is in P position, or if no

further obstacles are detected, no

audible signals are given.

Notice

An audible signal is not given if the

sound has been muted or if the

display of the rear view camera

indicated on the Info Display has

been switched off.

Additionally, the distance to rear and

front obstacles is displayed by

changing distance lines in the Info

Display

85.

Muting the sound / closing the display

indication

If the audible signal is muted or the

display of the rear view camera is

closed and an obstacle gets closer,

only the

flashes.

When engaging the forward gear and

driving more than 6 mph the sound

and the display are automatically

resumed.

System limitations

In the event of a fault or if the system

does not work temporarily, e.g.

because of high external noise level

or other interference factors,

illuminates in the Driver Information

Centre. A message is displayed in the

Driver Information Centre and a

warning chime sounds.
In the case of a permanent fault, seek

the assistance of a workshop.

Warning

Under certain circumstances,

various reflective surfaces on

objects or clothing as well as

external noise sources may cause

the system to fail to detect

obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to

low obstacles which can damage

the lower part of the bumper.

222

Driving and operating

Caution

In the case of a severe failure of

the vehicle with the need to stop

the vehicle, the system is

deactivated.
In the case of a gearbox failure,

the parking assist system is not

active, when reverse gear is

engaged.
In the case of a loudspeaker

failure, the audible signals may not

be given.
Performance of the system can be

reduced when sensors are

covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
If a sensor is covered, a message

is displayed indicating that the

sensors have to be cleaned.
Performance of the parking assist

system may be limited or the

functionality may not be available

at all if

illuminates or if the

image shown on the Info Display

is frozen or if the screen is black.

Performance of the parking assist

system can be reduced due to

heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there

are taller vehicles in the vicinity

(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,

vans). Object identification and

correct distance indication in the

upper part of these vehicles

cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection

cross-section, e.g. objects of

narrow size or soft materials, may

not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not

detect objects outside the

detection range, e.g. below the

bumper or underneath the vehicle.
During a reverse parking

manoeuvre, the system does not

consider a mounted coupling ball

bar. The driver has to consider this

additional length.

Notice

It is possible that the sensor detects

a non-existing object caused by

echo disturbance from external

acoustic noise or mechanical

misalignments (sporadic false

warnings may occur).
Make sure that the front number

plate is properly mounted (not bent

and no gaps to the bumper on the left

or right side) and the sensors are

firmly in place. The performance of

the parking assist may be reduced if

the license plate is bent or a license

plate support is used.
Low curbs and surface irregularities,

e.g. on construction zones, are not

detected by the system. The driver

accepts responsibility.
