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 sys tem will hold the vehicle at standstill for two seconds and
then release the brakes.
If a Brake Control event begins at a speed below 20 mph (32 km/h), the system may
provide the maximum braking possible to mitiga te the potential forward collision. If the
Brake Control event s tops 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 cou rse 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 system is active only if the front sea t 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.
