Driving Your Vehicle

Brake Operation

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

CAUTION

The driver must always exercise caution when driving, even if there is no warning message or warning signal.

WARNING

FCA cannot avoid all collisions. FCA cannot completely stop the vehicle before a collision due to surrounding, weather, and road conditions. The driver is responsible for safe driving and vehicle control.

WARNING

FCA operates according to risk levels such as the distance to the vehicle ahead, the speed of the vehicle ahead, and the speed of the driver's vehicle. Do not attempt to take risks while driving to activate the system.
