Driver Assist Package II - Discussion and Questions

[agentthumb]

Today I have experienced the full force of city brake. It is seriously scary. It was unintentional, the car in front of me slammed brakes to standstill n pulled over. Mine stopped even before I took control, with a weird display on the dash board, I need to check the manual what it means. It looked like a car with all sensor waves towards all directions.

I was so happy but was so scared n worried about the car behind would hit me. All happened so quick and nothing to worry in the end.

Did it look like a car between two lines and chevrons in front of it?

Ahh it's different on colour mfd. in the TDI with DA1, it was black and white with the picture I described above

Do you have colour MFD? Or maybe the icon is different in DA2

Same picture in black n white . I don't think high line 103 has colour but it was too quick. I believe this is what the picture looked like.

The image on the right is the only thing I've seen when the system has alerted me to brake.

I get picture A most times, and I think I got picture B when a car detected with in the adaptive cruise radar set distance. When picture A comes there is no audible alert. So when u r concentrating on the road you miss it and all of a sudden car brakes if the car in front slows or stops suddenly because driver ignored to brake or take action . I wonder how to set it to make a sound when picture A is displayed!

I only get to drive it an hour or two in a week, because it's my wife's car. But these are the observations in that time. So I am sorry if I am wrong in my assumptions.

Picture A is the car telling you you are tailgating the car in front

The screen for front radar picking up a car during normal use is different to screen B. I've only ever seen B under duress together with the loud beeping noise and the brakes being jerked.

Hehehe I never tailgate, I overtake.

Haha I believe you

In all seriousness. Image A happens when you are following less than 2 seconds behind the car ahead I think.

B (at least on DA1) is when the emergency brake are going through the warning, jerk then full brake.

Normal front radar display looks like this (obviously in black and white and looks a lot crappier)

I agree with you agentthumb. This is what i see for radar. U r correct
