The brake lights will come on a hazards if needed. The way these systems work is that you may still crash but the impact will be less. They don't jam on the anchors in case someone is behind you and in case it's a false alarm such as a car entering from a slip road or already starting to change lane.

The idea is it primes the brakes, warns you, applies breaks slightly, but then it's up to you to break harder or steer as needed. When you have abs steering while braking hard can be a good option but dangerous if oncoming traffic or cars in lane next to you.

Here is my video from 5 years ago (ioniq 28kWh). More or less identical system to this day. You can read the limitations in the manual.

It's good to know. My case was similar to yours. I was further away from the car in front. I did get a fright though that the car wasn't able to stop on it's own. At least I know next time to brake a bit earlier myself.

I don't understand why it wouldn't stop fully in case the car behind hits you. Surely it should presume the car behind has enough stopping distance.

Do you know if a Tesla would stop fully?

ICCU issue with mine, AC charging hasn't weekend in about a week, DC charging was still working and thankfully I could still use the car.

I dropped it into the garage earlier today and they rang just before close to say it needed a new ICCU, should be replaced my Monday at the latest, which isn't too bad if that happens.

The annoying thing is that I got a recall for the ICCU just before I got the car serviced, the garage inspected it and said everything was fine and didn't need replacing, that was less than two months ago.
