2019.5 OPEL INSIGNIA BREAK change time

198Driving and operating
The first button press shows the
current setting on the Driver
Information Centre. Additional button
presses will change this setting. 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.Note that the alert timing sensitivity
setting is shared with the following
distance setting of the adaptive cruise
control. So changing the alert timing
sensitivity changes the adaptive
cruise control following distance
setting.

System limitations
In the following cases, following
distance indication sensor
performance is limited:
● Driving on winding or hilly roads.
● During nighttime driving.
● Weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.
● The sensor is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, windscreen
damage or affected by foreign
items, e.g. stickers.
Active emergency braking Active emergency braking is part of
the forward collision system 3 124. It
can help to reduce the damage and
injury from crashes with vehicles,
pedestrians and obstacles directly
ahead, when a collision can no longer be avoided either by manual braking
or by steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the Forward collision
alert 3 196 or the Front pedestrian
protection alert 3 203.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.
camera sensor, radar sensor, brake
pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate
the probability of a frontal collision.9 Warning
This system is not intended to
replace the driver's responsibility for driving the vehicle and looking
ahead. Its function is limited to
supplemental use only to reduce
the vehicle speed before a
collision.
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
The system includes: ● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking
● forward looking brake assist
● intelligent brake assist (only with radar sensor)
● front pedestrian protection system

202Driving and operating9Warning
Active emergency braking is not
designed to apply hard
autonomous braking or to
automatically avoid a collision. It is designed to reduce the vehicle
speed before a collision. It may not
react to animals. After a sudden
lane change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid
collisions.
The system is designed to work with
all occupants wearing their seat belts.
Intelligent Brake Assist
If the vehicle is equipped with radar
sensor Intelligent brake assist may
activate when the brake pedal is
applied quickly by providing a boost
to braking based on the speed of
approach and distance to a vehicle
ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal movement during this time is normal
and the brake pedal should continue
to be applied as needed. Intelligent
brake assist will automatically
disengage only when the brake pedal is released.9 Warning
Intelligent brake assist may
increase vehicle braking in
situations when it may not be
necessary. You could block the
flow of traffic. If this occurs, take
your foot off the brake pedal and
then apply the brakes as needed.
Front pedestrian protection 3 203.
Deactivation Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the personalisation
menu 3 124. If deactivated a
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
We recommend to deactivate the
system in the vehicle personalisation
in the following cases:
● when the vehicle is being towed
● before using an automatic car wash with ignition switched on
● if the windscreen has been damaged close to the camera
● if the front bumper has been damaged
System limitations In some cases, the active emergency
braking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance in parking garages, due to traffic signs
in a curve or due to vehicles in
another lane. This is normal
operation, the vehicle does not need service. Firmly apply the accelerator
pedal to override the automatic
braking if the situation and the
surroundings permit.

Driving and operating2059Warning
Front pedestrian braking may alert
or automatically brake the vehicle
suddenly in situations where it is
unexpected and undesired. It
could falsely alert or brake for
objects similar in shape or size to
pedestrians, including shadows.
This is normal operation and the
vehicle does not need a service.
To override Automatic braking,
firmly depress the accelerator
pedal, if it is safe to do so.
9 Warning
Using the Front pedestrian braking
system while towing a trailer couldcause loss of vehicle control and
crash. Turn the system to Alert or
Off in the vehicle personalisation
when towing a trailer.

Traffic sign detection in
conjunction with navigation
system
If the vehicle is equipped with a
navigation system, the currently
displayed sign can either originate
from optical sign detection or from the
map data.
If the currently displayed sign
originates from map data and the map
information changes, a new sign will
be displayed. This may lead to
detection of a new sign although no
sign on the road may have been
passed.
