The City Emergency Braking system is an innovative collision avoiding technology.
Automatically activated at speeds under 18mph, it uses a laser sensor to detect the risk of an impending collision and automatically primes the brakes to make them more sensitive.
If the driver does not brake and a collision is imminent then the system applies them automatically.
Depending on speed and situation, City Emergency Braking can reduce accident severity and even avoid a crash.
