The default status of Brake Control is “W 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 Brake Control status to “Off” deactivates the system, so no warning or
active braking will be available in case of a possible collision

Changing the Brake Control status to “Only warning” prevents the system from pro-
viding 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
