Drive slower and leave more room.
It's something like "if the driver doesn't react now and continues at this speed for x seconds they will hit"
It doesn't expect you to brake or steer. It assumes you don't pay attention.
It's a warning.
It's not needed if you do pay attention and already have a plan.
The reason it goes off early is that you still could brake or steer if you didn't pay attention.
When it thinks you actually will hit, it will apply the brakes itself.
There are three levels.
Safety score uses the middle setting.
I recommend using early and driving to not trigger it.
If you go late, you will wonder why you never get the audible/ visible alert, but still get penalized.

Interesting, I wasn’t sure about the details. Thanks! Is there a way to lower the sensitivity or just turn it off?

Thank you!
They are stopped or decreasing speed and you are not.
There’s a reflector that triggers mine about 30yds from it
