how fast were you going??, weather conditions?? day time or night time??
it only works under certain conditions.. that is why
don't be too reliant on it .. it does not fix other peoples driving

it says it only works below 50mph
the way they have it worded on the site is that it is intended for use in bumper to bumper traffic aka low speed ( that is when most accidents happen .... if someone pulls infront of you it might not do anything...
a similar system was on my grandpas rental it worked on the low speed but not when someone was unsafely crossing the street. going 50mph (speed limit is 50mph)
stupid dumb ass on the cellphone because cellphone tends to be more important....
a lot of people blindly cross the street almost nailed someone at 50mph as they walked in front of the metro BUS unsafe crossing the street (the person to top it off was on the cellphone yapping away) in the middle of the night..
it took some very precise movements with the car to avoid HITTING the BUS , HER and getting rear ended by a shit faced tailgater.. she must ahve been super lazy too since the spot to cross was only a block away at the traffic light
there was only 2 inches to spare from hitting my mirror
at 50mph that would have hurt badly Of course she would have been paying out of her own pocket for the damage to my car and the bus and the car behind me....

When I first got my Yukon I had the same concerns of whether it was working or not. I kept trying to test it by waiting to brake when following a slower vehicle and coming up quickly behind a semi, I figured it was definitely big enough to activate it. Of course my idea of both of the tests could be skewed because I do have a tendency to be overly cautious.
Anyway, there have been a few times that the system has kicked in when coming up quickly on a vehicle turning and at times when others have pulled out in front of me, but I have never been able to purposely make the system engage.

Thank you for that. From the sound of it, I am going to have to trust that it is there ready to work in case I ever need it which hopefully I won’t.
Just to bad I can’t borrow one of those cool inflatable cars they test with!! Thanks again

I just want to confirm you’re talking about auto braking during non-adaptive cruise, correct? Reason I ask is you mention the 3 settings for distance, which is an adaptive cruise setting, not an auto brake setting.

Yes auto braking. Mine doesn’t have adaptive cruise but it does give those settings like I did. ?

Weird because thise settings are for following distance on the adaptive cc.
If all 3 ))) are selected thats the closest setting and if only the last ) is the furthest following distance... on my 19 anyway
