I'm not really sure what this "active braking feature" is. Did not see any reference to it in the manual. Are you perhaps referring to the Pre-Collision Assist feature?

... and what does not showing anymore mean?

A better description of your problem will usually improve the quality of replies.
 


















Do you mean that it is no longer warning you that you are getting close to objects, in the same situations where it would previously warn you?

If so then I'd try cleaning the camera/sensor(s).
 






That is what I mentioned in my previous post and what I thought you may have been talking about. Pre-Collision Assist. Have you checked your settings to ensure it is ON and what sensitivity setting it's on? I believe the radar unit is behind the front bumper on the driver's side. Does your Adaptive Cruise Control work?

Yes Pre-Collision Assist is on, it just warns but doesn't apply braking. From the video tutorial Pre-Collision Assist and Active Braking are two selection options but for me I just have one option. It just warns but no braking applied.
 






I believe that braking is the last thing it will do if the system feels a collision is imminent. There won't be any braking when the LED strip starts to flash, just an audible warning. Check your Owner's Manual which is for your vehicle. The manual shows Pre-Collision Assist (if equipped).
Also;
"Brake support does not
automatically apply the brakes. If you press
the brake pedal, the system could apply
additional braking up to maximum braking
force, even if you lightly press the brake
pedal."
