Would like to check with the Merc Sifus here on their knowledge of the GLC200/250
Notice this models have Autonomous PARTIAL braking.... compared to say the E200 (W213) which have Autonomous Braking...
Does the PARTIAL means it will only reduce the speed but wont stop the car totally? Means u still bang but, hopefully, bang softer? dry.gif
As usual Mercedes malaysia/HapSeng/Cycle&Carriage website are vague at best..

QUOTE(ongss @ Jan 1 2018, 07:16 PM) When I took my GLC250, the SA from HSS told me the partial is 30% when the speed is above 60km/h. So far, I never have the opportunity to experience this autonomous partial brake. Most of the time the Collision Prevent Assist triggers the alarm and I naturally step on the brake. Thanks for the feedback sir. I got clarification from Mercedes that the GLC is "partial brake application" ie up to 60% , while E class is "Full brake application" upto 100%. The beep helps, but sometimes people panic I suppose... Also beeping is very common these days... even my lorry also have lights when you are in "caution zone" and beeps like crazy when $hit is about to hit the fan...

QUOTE(ongss @ Jan 2 2018, 11:20 AM) Actually, if human continue to drive cars (and not robots), better not to have 100%, it happened to me at NS highway, after a turn near Proton City, there was a sudden slow traffic. I stepped on brake and noted the car behind me was still speeding. I quickly swung to left as the car still had momentum. At the end, 5 cars piled up and I was excluded from the sandwich. Machines, at this moment, can't predict how crazy other drivers are. I got caught in a 4 car pile up vbefore... was 3rd car.. the last car behind me was a Taxi. Everyone claimed the taxi.. and we didnt lose our NCD. Anyway, my thoughts when it comes to accidents, as long as the occupants are not hurt thats fine, car can fix/got insurance... Same reason i was so tempted with the upcoming XC60 launching mid Jan
