Kia Picanto JA 2017-2025 Owner's Manual / Driving your vehicle / Radar type autonomous emergency braking / Brake operation

In an urgent situation, the braking system enters into the ready status for prompt reaction against the driver’s depressing the brake pedal.
The AEB provides additional braking power for optimum braking performance, when the driver depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatically deactivated, when the driver sharply depresses the accelerator pedal, or when the driver abruptly operates the steering wheel.
The braking control is automatically canceled, when risk factors disappear.
