Brake operation
• In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction to assist the driv-
er in depressing the brake pedal.
• FCA provides additional braking
power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
• The braking control is automatical-
ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
• The braking control is automatical-
ly canceled, when risk factors dis-
appear.
WARNING
FCA cannot avoid all collisions.
FCA might not completely stop
the vehicle before a collision,
due to ambient, weather and
road conditions. The driver has
the responsibility to drive safely
and control the vehicle.
WARNING
FCA operates in accordance
with the risk levels, such as the
distance from the vehicle in
front, the speed of the vehicle in
front, and the driver's vehicle
operation. For the system to
activate, do not attempt risky
driving.

great caution to vehicle opera-
tion, even though there is no
warning message or warning
alarm.

such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist warning may not
sound.

disturb the sound of the sys-
tem warning alarm.
