Took my car back to the dealership as it had an Active city brake error message from new . They cleared the message but how can I check that it's actually now working ?

Presumably by attempting to drive it into something which will not damage the car or die in the process if it fails.
A pile of empty cardboard boxes maybe?

I don't think i'll be doing that ! I think I'll just carry on as if my car doesn't have the feature and see if anything happensOriginally posted by Lensman View PostPresumably by attempting to drive it into something which will not damage the car or die in the process if it fails.

Surely it would be safer to test it safely, as suggested, than find out it doesn't work with potentially fatal consequences?Originally posted by len112 View Post

It only works if "speed is between about 3 and 18 mph (5 and 30 km/h)" so I'd hope there wouldn't be any fatal consequences if it failed.Originally posted by baasacJak View PostSurely it would be safer to test it safely, as suggested, than find out it doesn't work with potentially fatal consequences?Comment

Having watched test videos of dealers trying to demonstrate it, I'll pass!Originally posted by baasacJak View Post
Are you volunteering to be the 1st test subject?

I was planning to do a test of the system but didn't have a chance to do it. One time while driving I got an error message which was something like "automatic braking system fault". It cleared on its own but I started wondering if it really works... Much later I drove towards a door (you know, when going into a garage etc.), and I was braking and planned to stop because the door was still opening. When the front of the car was almost at the doorway, brakes kicked in and a message appeared on screen: automatic braking system invoked. I did the same "test" later and it worked every time.Comment
