Intelligent Emergency Braking

Intelligent Emergency Braking (IEB) reduces the impact velocity if the Adaptive Speed Control Module (ASCM) determines that a collision is unavoidable, even with driver intervention. It is not designed to prevent accidents from occurring. Typical activation of IEB is approximately 0.8 seconds before impact. During this 0.8 seconds period the speed of the sensing vehicle is reduced, thus reducing the impact energy.

If the ASCM determines a collision is unavoidable, it signals the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control module. The ABS control module applies emergency brake pressure to all of the brakes. The emergency brake pressure is 50 bar (725 psi) maximum.

When IEB is initiated the ASCM also signals the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to activate the front row seatbelt retractors. For additional information, Refer to: SEATBELT SYSTEM .

After the IEB function has activated, it is then disabled, as the vehicle is assumed to be damaged. After the vehicle has been repaired, the IEB function can be enabled again using the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment.

The IEB function operates down to a vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), and will function even when forward alert and adaptive speed control are switched off.

If the IEB feature is disabled for any reason, a related message is displayed in the message center.
