Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) — If
Equipped
PEB is a subsystem of the FCW system that provides
the driver with audible and visual warnings in the
instrument cluster display, and may apply automatic
braking when it detects a potential frontal collision with
a pedestrian/cyclist.
If a PEB event begins at a speed below 37 mph (60
km/h), the system may provide braking to mitigate
the potential collision with a pedestrian/cyclist. If the
PEB event stops the vehicle completely, the system will
hold the vehicle at a standstill for two seconds and
then release the brakes. When the system determines
a collision with the pedestrian/cyclist in front of you
is no longer probable, the warning message will be
deactivated.
The minimum speed for PEB activation is 3 mph (5
km/h).
WARNING!
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) is not intended
to avoid a collision on its own, nor can PEB detect
every type of potential collision with a pedestrian/
cyclist. 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.
Intersection Collision Assist (ICA) — If
Equipped
ICA uses three front radar sensors located in the front
fascia/bumper, to detect oncoming vehicles from the
front or side when driving through an intersection.
When the system determines that a collision is
probable when turning across oncoming traffic, the
system will attempt to mitigate a possible collision by
decelerating the vehicle. When the system determines
that a collision with a crossing vehicle is probable, the
system may apply additional braking to supplement the
driver braking input to attempt to mitigate a possible
collision. The system will also provide audible warnings
and visual warnings (shown in the instrument cluster).
If the driver determines acceleration is needed to avoid
a collision, when the accelerator is pressed ICA will
cancel.

(TPMS)
TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure based
on the vehicle recommended cold placard pressure.
NOTE:
The TPMS Warning Light will illuminate in the
instrument cluster and a chime will sound when tire
pressure is low in one or more of the four active road
tires. In addition, the instrument cluster will display a
graphic showing the pressure values of each tire with
the low tire pressure values in a different color, or
the Uconnect radio will display a TPMS message; when
this occurs you must increase the tire pressure to the
recommended cold placard pressure in order for the
TPMS Warning Light to turn off.
The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about
1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means
that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire
pressure will decrease. Tire pressure should always
be set based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is
defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle has not
been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than
1 mile (1.6 km) after a three hour period. The cold
tire inflation pressure must not exceed the maximum
inflation pressure molded into the tire sidewall. The tire
pressure will also increase as the vehicle is driven —
this is normal and there should be no adjustment for
this increased pressure.
See
on how to properly inflate the
vehicle’s tires.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if
the tire pressure falls below the low-pressure warning
limit for any reason, including low temperature effects
and natural pressure loss through the tire
.
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low
tire pressure as long as the condition exists, and will
not turn off until the tire pressure is at or above
the recommended cold placard pressure. Once the
low TPMS Warning Light illuminates, increase the tire
pressure to the recommended cold placard pressure
in order for the TPMS Warning Light to turn off. The
system will automatically update and the TPMS Warning
Light will turn off once the system receives the updated
tire pressures. The vehicle may need to be driven for up
to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the
TPMS to receive this information.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may need to
be increased up to an additional 4 psi (28 kPa) above
the recommended cold placard pressure in order to
turn the TPMS Warning Light off.
