NOTE:
• The minimum speed for Full Brake Control
System activation is 3 mph (5 km/h).
• The Full Brake Control System alerts may be
triggered on objects other than vehicles such as
guard rails or sign posts based on the course
prediction. This is expected and is a part of
normal Full Brake Control System activation and
functionality.
• The Full Brake Control System is intended for
on-road use only. If the vehicle is taken off-road,
the Full Brake Control System system should be
deactivated to prevent unnecessary warnings to
the surroundings.
WARNING!
The Full Brake Control System is not intended
to avoid a collision on its own, nor can the Full
Brake Control System detect every type of
potential collision. The driver has the respon-
sibility to avoid a collision by controlling the
vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to
follow this warning could lead to serious injury
or death.
Turning Full Brake Control System On Or
Off
The Full Brake Control System menu setting is
located in the Uconnect settings.
NOTE:
The default status of Full Brake Control System is
“Warning + Active Braking.” This allows the
system to warn you of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front of you and enable the active
braking.
• Changing the Full Brake Control System status
to “Off” deactiva tes the system, so no warning
or active braking will be available in case of a
possible collision
• Changing the Full Brake Control System status
to “Only Warning” prevents the system from
providing limited active braking, or additional
brake support if the driver is not braking
adequately in the event of a potential frontal
collision, but maintains the audible and visual
warnings.
Changing the status of the system is only possible
with the vehicle at a complete stop.
NOTE:
The Full Brake Control System state is not kept in
memor y from one key cycle to the next. If the
system is turned off, it will turn on when the
vehicle is restarted.
Changing Full Brake Control System Sensitivity
By changing the settings on the menu of the
Uconnect system, you can change the sensitivity
of the system by choosing one of the following
three options: "Near", "Medium" or "Far". Ref er to
“Multimedia” in your Owner’s Manual for further
information.
The default option is "Medium". This setting
provides that the system notify the driver of a
possible accident with the vehicle ahead of it
when the latter is at a standard distance, inter-
mediate between the other two possible settings.
By setting the sensitivity of the system to "Far", the
system will warn the driver of a possible accident
with the vehicle in front when the latter is at a
greater distance, giving you the chance to act on
the brakes in a more limited and gradual. This
setting gives the driver the maximum possible
time of reaction to prevent a possible accident.
