166 SAFETY
After the end of the intervention of automatic braking, the
transmission may remain in last gear stored; therefore the
car could lurch forward, once the brakes release a few
seconds later. If the Full Brake Control system event stops
the vehicle completely, the system will hold the vehicle at
standstill for two seconds and then release the brakes.
If a Full Brake Control system event begins at a speed
below 26 mph (42 km/h), the system may provide the
maximum braking possible to mitigate the potential
forward collision. If the Full Brake Control system event
stops the vehicle completely, the system will hold the
vehicle at standstill for two seconds and then release the
brakes.
Full Brake Control System Message
When the system determines a collision with the vehicle in
front of you is no longer probable, the warning message
will be deactivated
Ú page 277.
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 guardrails 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 should be deactivated to prevent
unnecessary warnings to the surroundings.
Turning Full Brake Control System
On Or Off
The Full Brake Control system menu setting is located in
the Uconnect Settings
Ú page 106.
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”
deactivates 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 possible when the
vehicle is stopped or moving.
NOTE:
The Full Brake Control system state is kept in memory
from one key cycle to the next. It will remain the same
when the vehicle is turned off and is restarted.
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 responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling
the vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to follow this
warning could lead to serious injury or death.
