BRAKE CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
Brake Control
The Brake Control system with mitigation provides the driver with audible warnings, vi-
sual warnings (within the instrument cluster display), and may apply a brake jerk to warn
the driver when it detects a potential frontal collision
.
The warnings and limited braking
are intended to provide the driver with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate the po-
tential collision
.
NOTE:
• Brake Control monitors the information from the forward looking sensors as well as
the Electronic Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward colli-
sion
. When the system determines that a forward collision is probable, the driver will
be provided with audible and visual warnings and may provide a brake jerk warning
.
• If the driver does not take action based upon these progressive warnings, then the
system will provide a limited level of active braking to help slow the vehicle and miti-
gate the potential forward collision
. If the driver reacts to the warnings by braking and
the system determines that the driver intends to avoid the collision by braking but has
not applied sufficient brake force, the system will compensate and provide additional
brake force as required
.
Vehicles With A Manual Transmission : After the end of the intervention of automatic
braking, the engine could stall, unless the driver can depress the clutch pedal .
Vehicles With Automatic Transmission : After the end of the intervention of automatic
braking, the transmission may remain in last gear stored: therefore the car could lurch
forward, once the brakes release a few seconds later
. If the Brake Control event stops
the vehicle completely, the system will hold the vehicle at standstill for two seconds and
then release the brakes
