LR Disco V AEB clarification - Need help please
Hello Friends, need help with regards to AEB on LR Disc V(Diesel, HSE Lux). I purchased this car couple of months ago and the dealer says that AEB works only when fitted with ACC(adaptive cruise control) option. Basically, AEB is dependent on ACC. I assumed AEB(autonomous emergency braking) works with FA(forward alerting) which I have it in my car. While selling the car, this was the safety feature the sales guy mentioned at length and how important it is to have. Now, the dealer is backtracking about AEB works only when fitted with ACC(another $4k option). Last week, I drove the car in close proximity of another car and the RED FA alert appeared when I came with in few feet of another car. However, there was no autonomous braking. Instead, I had to apply the brakes with force to stop the car and avoided a read ending. The AEB option is checked on my dashboard(pictures attached for review). I am also attaching few links (LR website and youtube) which mentions about the AEB and no where it mentions that AEB is dependent on ACC. Can anyone please help me understand as to how this AEB works? Majestically appreciate your help in this regard.

Hi - where are you based? In most countries (maybe all now) AEB is a standard fitment in all Disco V models. Look from outside the car through the top of the front windscreen - if you see the stereo camera system then it's fitted for sure
It only operates between about 5 and 50mph. And it works in tandem with the warning - if collision is avoidable it gives you the warning and you can brake the car manually. If there isn't time for you to do it, the car will brake for you. Note that it's designed to massively reduce severity of an accident not to eliminate it, so I wouldn't rely on it to totally stop the car in time...
Sounds from your description that it's operating exactly as intended

All Discovery V will have AEB in US, I believe.
At least HSE and up it will.
I have HSE with no adaptive cruise or any safety option package and AEB kicked in, braking hard until car stopped.
I was already braking from around 45 mph, and with warning sound and light, the car applied the brakes harder to complete stop.
At least HSE and up it will.

I got the alert on the dash as I was braking, then soon the car started to brake harder than I was putting down on the brake pedal all the way to stop.
My car is 2018 Discovery.
By full size, you mean 7 seater? Then yes, my car has 7-seat option.

Hi RlbRover, thanks for the quick response. Did you do any special settings for the AEB to work or Just enabled manually AEB on the dashboard(is it enabled by default?). I am assuming you are in USA, right?
