Driving Your Vehicle

Brake Operation

~1min read
  • In an emergency situation, the brake system enters a ready state for a quick response when the driver presses the brake pedal.
  • FCA provides additional braking force for optimal braking efficiency when the driver presses the brake pedal.
  • Brake control is automatically canceled when the driver rapidly presses the accelerator pedal, or when the driver sharply turns the steering wheel.
  • FCA brake control is automatically canceled when the risk factors disappear.

CAUTION

The driver must always exercise extreme caution when driving the vehicle, whether or not there is a warning message or alarm from the FCA system.

WARNING

Brake control cannot completely stop the vehicle or avoid all collisions. The driver is responsible for driving safely and controlling the vehicle.

WARNING

FCA system logic operates within certain parameters, such as the distance to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, the speed of the vehicle ahead, and your vehicle speed. Certain conditions, such as severe weather and road conditions, may affect FCA system operation.

WARNING

Never drive with a dangerous intent to activate the system.
