Hello

Had my car a week now and every now and then when I drive down hill the emergency brake assist function is triggered...

It is quite unsettling. Has anyone else experienced this?

no thats weird, how steep is the downhil? Are you going slowly? It could be the hill descent assist slowing you down, what mode are you in? Offroad?

The only thing Iv had a few times is on ACC on A roads and the car braking at the last min overtaken a cyclist.

Thanks for your replies.

I have the 2.0 TDI so no off road option. It may well be something else. I was driving out of a shopping centre car park descending from the upper floor.

I will try it out again this weekend (if possible...) And update.

Thanks again

It maybe because the car thinks you are heading for wall when actually you turn the steering at the last moment to go onto the next down ramp?

Thanks for your replies.

No, I was just driving down a linear ramp to exit an upper level car park. I will try it again next time and update.

Hi,
Right. I was coming out of the upper parking lot, and it triggered. It happens again as soon as the slope is steep. Sorry about my english.
