unavailable:
BSM Mirror Warning Lights are turned on
continuously.
An instrument cluster message will display
“Blind Spot Monitoring Temporarily Unavail
-
able.”
In the case of the system being completely
unavailable:
A chime will turn on.

ITIGATION
The Full Brake Control system with Mitigation
provides the driver with audible warnings, visual
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 potential collision.
NOTE:
The Full Brake Control system monitors the
information from the forward looking sensors
as well as the Electronic Brake Controller
(EBC), to calculate the probability of a
forward collision. When the system deter
-
mines 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 mitigate the poten
-
tial 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.
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 Full Brake Control system event
stops the vehicle completely, the system will
hold the vehicle at standstill for two seconds
and then release the brakes.
If a Full Brake Control system event begins at a
speed below 26 mph (42 km/h), the system
may provide the maximum braking possible to
mitigate the potential forward collision. If the
Full Brake Control system event stops the
vehicle completely, the system will hold the
vehicle at standstill for two seconds and then
release the brakes.
