- In a dangerous situation, the braking system switches to standby mode for an immediate response, ensuring that the driver presses the brake pedal.
- FCA provides additional braking power for optimal braking effect as soon as the driver presses the brake pedal.
- If the driver firmly presses the accelerator pedal or makes a sudden steering movement, brake control is activated automatically.
- Once the dangerous situation has been resolved, brake control is automatically deactivated again.
DANGER
The driver must always remain alert while driving, even if no warning message is displayed or no warning sound is heard.
WARNING
FCA cannot prevent all collisions. Depending on current environmental, weather or road conditions, the vehicle may not be able to stop completely before a collision. The driver is responsible for safe driving and must always maintain control of the vehicle.
WARNING
The FCA system responds depending on the relevant hazardous situation, such as the distance to the vehicle/pedestrian ahead, the speed of the vehicle/pedestrians and the driver's driving style.
