Braking deceleration of Airbus A320

I have only been able to find the deceleration values for autobrake i.e.

LO - 2m/s2
MED - 3m/s2
MAX - 6m/s2

Am I right to say that autobrakes are off during taxi? What are the deceleration values of manual braking during taxi?

Thanks in advance.

Approx 5 Seconds.
(Without putting PAX's livers through their belly-buttons.)

Hope this helps.

Try this:

After landing, don't disarm the spoilers. During taxi at 30kts, select autobrake MAX and measure the stopping distance. That's something similar to what you would achieve with full manual braking. Its spectacular.
