Alex.S Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Had the car from new. If anyone had any doubt if the pre collision assist works or not I can tell you.. it works 100% !! It’s just saved my bacon! Doing 35 mph , car in front brakes hard as I’m changing radio station, in that split second the focus dropped anchor ..proper emergency stop. I’ve had a few false alarms years ago so changed sensitivity to low iirc. Anyway it works , it would take balls of steel to properly test it , hopefully last time I’ll need it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Very good to know it works just like it says on the tin 😀 Now do you know if the hazard lights flashed ? There once was a thread on here of a guy determined to find out if they would work he crashed !!! He couldn't seem to grasp that you would need to actually crash or get to the 99% nearly crashed state for them to work 🤣 Glad to know you're safe and well 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.S Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 The dash flashing red makes you brake straight away , we’ve all had false alarms before but it braked quicker than I could mentally react , talking a vital second or two literally. In 4.5 years I’ve never seen anyone post about it working for them. Good feature 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it securely packed in a bag in the boot, or just carelessly left on a seat inside the cabin? 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizer Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I'm glad you posted that. I still shake my head when I read posts from people who think they are hard done by because it is enabled by default. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
