Kb27 Supersonic September 13, 2015 Share September 13, 2015 I heard someone here says his Volvo keep auto-braking and it's getting on his nerves, bcuz he doesn't know when the car decides it must brake. Don't leave your brains behind when you get into a car. That's what the auto makers are trying to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
