Has anyone got this option? And if so has it ever activated?

 

[KWJ]

I have ordered this option. But still awaiting delivery!! Will let you know (eventually!)

Me too... Also still waiting. There is suprisingly little info around about it!

Obvious questions like does the engine stall when it is activated (assume it has to as manual!)

 

[move up!]

@SiJ2000, I think I saw a video a few weeks back saying it brakes to a stop and therefore stalls the engine (as you say, it can't de-clutch). It displays a light showing that the city emergency braking was triggered. Light is extinguishes when you re-start and drive off.

I don't have this fitted to my car but, it seems, in a couple of years city braking may be fitted as standard to all new cars. See article below:

Cool... Thanks for the info... WOn't be trying it then, as it doesn't sound very good for the engine!

It's very good for the engine as it prevents it from being shoved through into the passenger compartment when you're not looking.

LOL... I thought that just after I wrote what I wrote... I was just a matter of time before someone posted it!
