Collision warning
I have had my 992 S for 18 months. Over that time, I have had the Collision Warning triangle come up five or six times (including today) when I get too close to the car in front at some speed. In each case, I was able to get on the brakes myself. I am wondering who has actually experienced your car doing emergency braking by itself before you hit the brake, and if so, how close did you get to the other car before the automatic braking kicked in and whether it was successful in avoiding a collision.

More likely to get me rear-ended in dense highway traffic, if it's anything like the implementation in the Gen2 Macan. I feel safer with it turned off.

Select “Assistance system settings”
then, “Porsche Active Safe”
then “Collision Warning”
From here you can select the desired warning threshold;
“Early”
”Regular”
”Late”
or “Off”
I’ve found “Late” to give almost zero false alarms. Only very rarely does it give me the pre-warning chime, which is usually about the same time my foot is already applying the necessary braking.
*Edit to add that I suspect this may only turn off the warning chime and brake pulse feature. It’s possible that the final, last moment break application still remains
Found this on another post. Hope it helps.

I don’t have ACC and not sure if it will brake itself or just warn without it.

I don't think it will brake without the ACC/Innodrive stuff. The warning has def saved me; I was in slow traffic and started futzing with the PCM because I was bored. Yes, my bad. Thankfully the system warned me that traffic had come to a stop for some reason; I had to brake hard to avoid rear ending the guy in front.

I would like to know how it works, as I thought it only worked at a certain speed - meaning higher speeds. If it works at lower speeds, not sure - as parallel parking has never given me a warning, or applied the breaks (I have a manual trans) so maybe it doesn't work with that.
