City Brake Control -
"Collision Mitigation" SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a driving assistance system that can detect the
presence of cars before the vehicle at a close
distance and, in case of imminent collision,
intervenes automatically braking the car to prevent
the impact or lower its effects.
The system is always active every time the ignition
key is turned to MAR-ON and when the car speed is
within about 5 and 30 km/h.
The system can be deactivated (and then reactivated)
with the display setup menu (see paragraph “Menu
items” in this chapter).
The system activates if there is risk of imminent
collision and the driver does not press the brake
pedal promptly.
Versions equipped with Start&Stop system : at
the end of the automatic braking, the Start&Stop
system will activate as described in paragraph
"Start&Stop system" of this chapter.
Versions equipped with manual gearbox : at the
end of the automatic braking the engine may stall
and turn off, unless the driver presses the clutch
pedal.
Versions equipped with automatic
transmission
(for versions/markets, where
provided): at the end of braking the last gear stored
remains engaged.
IMPORTANT Both on versions equipped with
manual gearbox and on those with automatic
transmission (for versions/markets, where provided),
after the car is stopped the brake calipers may be
stuck for about 2 seconds for safety reasons. Make
sure you press the brake pedal if the car moves
slightly forwards.
IMPORTANT The system is only active with a car
speed between 5 and 30 km/h.
IMPORTANT The system does NOT activate
engaging the reverse or the front seat belts are not
fastened.
