Full Brake Control system Message
When the system determines a collision with
the vehicle in front of you is no longer probable,
the warning message will be deactivated
NOTE:
The minimum speed for Full Brake Control
system activation is 3 mph (5 km/h).
The Full Brake Control system 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 Full Brake Control system acti
-
vation and functionality.
The Full Brake Control system is intended for
on-road use only. If the vehicle is taken
off-road, the Full Brake Control system
should be deactivated to prevent unneces
-
sary warnings to the surroundings.
Turning Full Brake Control system On Or
Off
The Full Brake Control system menu setting is
located in the Uconnect Settings
NOTE:
The default status of Full Brake Control system
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 Full Brake Control system
status to “Off” deactivates the system, so no
warning or active braking will be available in
case of a possible collision.
Changing the Full Brake Control system
status to “Only Warning” prevents the system
from providing limited active braking, or addi
-
tional 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 Full 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.

Uconnect system, you can change the
sensitivity of the system by choosing one of the
following three options: "Near", "Medium" or

WARNING!
The Full Brake Control System is not intended
to avoid a collision on its own, nor can the Full
Brake Control System detect every type of
potential collision. The driver has the
responsibility to avoid a collision by
controlling the vehicle via braking and
steering. Failure to follow this warning could
lead to serious injury or death.
