In regards to my 2022 Leaf SV, does it come with Forward Collision Warning and Auto Braking, or is that only on the high end SL Plus model only?

Easy way to know, check if you can turn them on and off in the vehicle settings.
Assuming you mean you already have one and not shopping for one... :?:
Yes, the 22s comes with it standard. There are situations where it won't detect a vehicle or object. Read the owner's manual to see which situations and to make sure your settings are enabled.ElectriCute said:knightmb said:ElectriCute said:In regards to my 2022 Leaf SV, does it come with Forward Collision Warning and Auto Braking, or is that only on the high end SL Plus model only?

One thing I forgot to point out which made me think that I might not have this feature. While on the highway driving about 65mph, one numbskull, which we have an over abundance of here, pulled right in front of me. My car made no attempt to slow down or even brake.
Depends on if you had the car sensors on, what settings you use, etc. The thing about all the new technology, you have to be able to play around *safely* to get a feel for the limitations. I know for example, if I have adaptive cruise control on and the car it's following jumps into either lane quickly and slams on it's brakes, even if I can go past it as the lane is empty, the car will slam on the brakes thinking the car it was following is about to hit it.ElectriCute said:One thing I forgot to point out which made me think that I might not have this feature.

Anti-lock still works, so you should be able to steer out of the way even with the brakes engaged, the auto brake won't do any steering assist.jaja06 said:So does anybody have insight as to how the auto braking would work if you need to swerve instead of brake? Like if you know braking will not stop the car in time?
Maybe for other cars, but the Leaf, as far as I know, will not auto-swerve. I've had 3 instances where I've had auto-brake kick in and never did it try to go around anything, but on the bright side, it saved me from hitting pedestrians running out in the street all 3 of those times. No rain detection in the Leaf (well in my 20202 anyway), so auto-brake still works for me unless the sensors are impaired by too much rain. That is possible.I’ve read so many things that I can’t remember what’s what anymore. I know I read about a system that will auto-swerve if the car detects that braking will not prevent a collision AND there are no cars detected in the path of a swerve.
I also think I may have read that auto braking is automatically disabled when there is decreased traction from a wet road. ??

Last week, I was passing a car on a 2 lane highway. I decided that I was far enough ahead to go back into the right lane, but the car thought otherwise - I had to fight the steering for a moment, as auto-steer tried to prevent me from changing lanes, back into the correct lane. I was...surprised.

Ohh interesting. So it thought the car behind you was still too close? But it does let you override after a stern warning? I’ve been wondering about that too.
