My driveway at home slopes down to the street, and then the street slops back up to the crown. I get the back-up warnings every time and if I go just a little too fast or don't turn at the proper angle, I will get the emergency braking.
It's pretty annoying, but I've just learned how to back out of my driveway without setting it off. I'm sure eventually I'll get fed up and just turn the intervention off completely. I'm already looking for a way to get the red/yellow/green boxes to not show up on screen. In dark environments they actually prevent me from using the cameras to see what's actually around the car! |

First thing I did when I first picked up my car was disable to reverse brake assist. Think I've seen the other maybe once in the past 8 months. Maybe check the battery in the fob and replace?

Happens to me once in a while. Last time I was slowly backing out of my garage on a level driveway. No warning sound, just stopped suddenly. Thought I hit something. Turned out to be the landscaper a few feet off to my left rear end. No chance in hitting him and he saw me, but I guess the car thought a collision was about to happen. Better safe than sorry I guess.

I actually had to turn braking intervention off temporarily while they were paving my street. The added dropoff at the end of my drive while they prepped the street for paving was enough to trigger intervention braking each time I tried to back out of the driveway. I agree, however, that it is a good safety measure, and turned it back on as soon as they street paving was done. However, if I scream out of the driveway backwards, it will still activate the braking. The sensors are sensitive, and I'm OK with that. As for issue #2, I've had that happen in several cars. I just reach into my pocket and lock, then unlock the car with the key fob and all is well.

There are hundreds of websites designed for Western men and Slavic women to meet, start a relationship, get engaged eventually and then married. One that I know is DateJasmin for example. I've used this site and I've met a few girls who are interested in men from Australia, aka me. Wonderful conversations. Slavic girls are really something, no other nation has prettier women, I think we can all agree on that.

That "panic stop" is downright annoying! Happens all the time on steep driveways, every single time. It also happens backing out of my driveway when branches are leaning over onto the driveway at bumper level. I get the point of it but damn it's annoying.

It is BUT. I live one house from a corner with a block wall to the right as I back out of my driveway. There is a cross street on the other side of the house to my right. When I pull out I look and make sure no one is coming BUT sometimes a car comes barreling around the corner and I appreciate the warning (as unnerving as it is).

I looked at my owner's manual and it seems to indicate that this emergency braking function is only included with Parking assistant, which I don't have is that correct? Or is is something I just can't find? Thanks--Bob
