Collision Alert

[Twinboat]

Had some heavy traffic in Miami and had to make a panic stop with my 2023 Maverick Hybrid XL.
Just before I hit the brakes, the dash displsy turned red, with a traffic alert message and an alarm went off.

I didn't know it was equipped with that.

I always pat my steering wheel and say “good girl” when my Mav alerts me!

It didn't apply the brakes, so I guess I wasn't that close, but now I know.

Before my brain reacted the brakes were on. Crazy

Question…how does one test this feature? Without messing in pants.

Don't know about the not messing in pants but come to Austin Tx and drive pretty much anywhere between 4:30-6:00 on any workday.

Oh I been to Austin, yea. I’m north Houston part and traffic is nothing to brag of. I best to not travel to/from downtown Houston.

Retired and really no place to go, if I can help it.

It over reacts sometimes. Like a crazy ex wife/girlfriend.

Go to NY City and drive around, you may burn your brakes out .

Not gonna go, drive to, in NYC.
But been there couple times. From overseas trips, airline landed at big airport, we found interconnecting flight out of LaGardia. Took taxi from airport to airport for shorter layover. And you right, tough rides.

Make a big wall of cardboard boxes in an empty parking lot and drive at it as fast as your pants will allow.

And keep foot off brakes. What I’m thinking too!

You can adjust the sensitivity.
