SAFETY 101
NOTE:
Full Brake Control System monitors the infor-
mation from the forward looking sensors as
well as the Electronic Brake Controller (EBC), to
calculate the probability of a forward collision.
When the system determines that a forward
collision is probable, the driver will be provided
with audible and visual warnings and may
provide a brake jerk warning.
If the driver does not take action based upon
these progressive warnings, then the system
will provide a limited level of active braking to
help slow the vehicle and mitigate the potential
forward collision. If the driver reacts to the
warnings by braking and the system deter-
mines that the driver intends to avoid the colli-
sion by braking but has not applied sufficient
brake force, the system will compensate and
provide additional brake force as required.
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.
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 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.
