On the A67 between Venlo and Eindhoven the car ahead brakes unexpectedly while your adaptive cruise control is active. What happens first according to the book?
- ✓ First a warning signal, so you can brake yourself
- ESP kicks in and corrects the car's steering
- The car brakes hard automatically right away, with no prior warning
Correct answer: First a warning signal, so you can brake yourself
Explanation
A warning signal sounds first; only if you do not intervene does the car brake automatically.
Why learners get this wrong
- ESP is a yellow dashboard light from §13.4 (p.216-217), not the autonomous emergency braking system from §13.5 (p.219).
- A warning signal sounds first; only if you do not intervene does the car brake automatically.
