the ABA indicator lamp, and sounds an audible warn-
ing. In addition, the radio and/or hands-free systems
like Detroit Connect are automatically muted.
Active Brake Assist (ABA) engages in the following
warning sequence:
•
Warning : An alert appears on the driver dis-
play, the radio is muted, and an intermittent
warning tone sounds.
•
Partial Braking : ABA slows the vehicle with
automatic partial braking. ABA brakes the ve-
hicle with around 50% of the vehicle’s maxi-
mum braking power.
•
Emergency Braking (ABA) : If the driver does
not react to the collision warnings or partial
brake application, ABA automatically initiates
emergency braking (full brake application).
Warning messages continue to appear on the
driver display, the radio stays muted, a continu-
ous warning tone sounds, and ABA brakes the
vehicle with 100% of the vehicle’s maximum
braking power.
CAUTION
After emergency braking, the "Emergency Brak-
ing Complete Brakes Releasing Soon" message
appears in the event window on the driver dis-
play.
After an emergency braking maneuver has been
performed, retake control of the vehicle as soon
as possible and, paying attention to the traffic
situation, remove the vehicle from the area of
danger. Stop the engine and apply the parking
brake.
Inspect the vehicle to ensure it is in proper oper-
ating order and confirm the load is secured prop-
erly before resuming driving.
Always apply the parking brake upon shutting
the engine off or prior to exiting the vehicle.
The driver can interrupt emergency braking by press-
ing the accelerator pedal beyond the point of resis-
tance (kickdown).
