Changing the status of the system is only possible with the vehicle at a complete stop.
NOTE:
The 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 Brake Control 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 “Multimedia” in the Owner’s Manual on
www.fiatusa.com/en/owners/manuals 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,
intermediate between the other two possible settings.
By setting the sensitivity of the system to "Far", the system will warn the driver of a pos-
sible 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.
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, while a more dynamic driving of the car.
The setting of the sensitivity of the system is maintained in memory when t he engine is
switched off.
Brake Control Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display will read “Brake Control Limited Functionality” or “Brake
Control Limited Functionality Clean Front Windshield” momentarily, there may be a con-
dition that limits Brake Control functionality. Although the vehicle is still drivable under
normal conditions, the active braking may not be fully available. Once the condition that
limited the sys tem performance is no longer present, t he system will return to its full
performance state. If the problem persists, see your authorized dealer.
Service Brake Control Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster display displays:
• Brake Control Unavailable Service Required
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.
