Note you can’t turn off AEBS on the current model though, which you can do on other makes, wouldn’t bother me because i wouldn’t turn it off anyway as in the event of there being an accident switching of AEBS will merit the driver to blame even if he’s innocent.
Yeah mines the same, although like you I wouldn’t switch it off due to the possible ramifications if it all went breasts north. It doesn’t stop me wanting to however as the particular one I drive has developed a phobia of small vans (Kangoo sized) and throws a dicky fit if I get closer than 50 feet to one, even at walking pace 
The lane departure however is a different matter and that loathsome thing gets disabled every time I start the engine!
