If a Brake Control event begins at a speed below 20 mph (32 km/h), the system may
provide the maximum braking possible to mitigate the potential forward collision
.
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
.
When the system determines a collision
with the vehicle in front of you is no lon-
ger probable, the warning message will be
deactivated
.
NOTE:
• The minimum speed for Brake Control
activation is 4 mph (7 km/h)
.
• The maximum speed for Brake Control
activation is 124 mph (200 km/h) .
• The Brake Control alerts may be triggered on objects other than vehicles such as
guard rails or sign posts based on the course prediction . This is expected and is a part
of normal Brake Control activation and functionality .
• The Brake Control system is intended for on-road use only . If the vehicle is taken off-
road, the Brake Control system should be deactivated to prevent unnecessary warnings
to the surroundings
.
• The active braking is enabled only if the front seat belts are fastened .
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 responsibility to avoid a colli-
sion 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 “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
.
