102 SAFETY
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” 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 only
possible with the vehicle at a complete stop.
NOTE:
The Full Brake Control System state is not kept in
memory 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 sensi-
tivity of the system by choosing one of the
following three options: "Near", "Medium" or
"Far". Refer to ”Uconnect Settings” in Multi-
media” 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
way. This setting gives the driver the maximum
possible time of reaction to prevent a possible
accident.
By changing the option to "Near", the system will
warn the driver of a possible accident with the
vehicle ahead of it when the latter is a reduced
distance. This setting offers a reaction time to
the driver lower than the settings "Medium" and
"Far", in the case of a potential accident, which
will provide a more dynamic driving experience.
The setting of the sensitivity of the system is
maintained in memory when the engine is
switched off.
Full Brake Control System Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display reads “Brake
Control Limited Functionality” or “Brake Control
Limited Functionality Clean Front Windshield”
momentarily, there may be a condition that
limits Full Brake Control System functionality.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under
normal conditions, the active braking may not
be fully available. Once the condition that
limited the system performance is no longer
present, the system will return to its full perfor-
mance state. If the problem persists, see an
authorized dealer.
Service Full Brake Control System Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument
cluster display displays “Service Brake Control”.
This indicates there is an internal system fault.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under
normal conditions, have the system checked by
an authorized dealer.
