WARNING!
Brake Control is not intended to avoid a collision
on its own, nor can Brake Control detect every type
of potential collision. The driver has the responsi-
bility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle
via braking and steering. Failure to follow this
warning could lead to serious injury or death.
Turning Brake Control On Or Off
The Brake Control menu setting is located in the
Uconnect settings.
NOTE:
The default status of Brake Control 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 Brake Control status to “Off” deacti-
vates the system, so no warning or active braking
will be available in case of a possible collision
•
Changing the Brake Control status to “Only Warn-
ing” 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 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 sensitivity of the system by
choosing one of the following three options:
⬙
Near
⬙
,
⬙
Medium
⬙
or
⬙
Far
⬙
. Refer to “Multimedia” 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 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
