Turning Brake Control On Or Off
The Brake Control menu setting is located in the Uconnect settings.
NOTE:
The default status of Brake Control is "Warning + Active Braking." This allows the system
to warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you and enable the active
braking.
• Changing the Brake Control status to "Off" deactivates the system, so no warning or
active braking will be available in case of a possible collision
• Changing the Brake Control status to "Only Warning" prevents the system from pro-
viding limited active braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking
adequately in the event of a potential frontal collision, but maintains the audible and
visual warnings.
Changing the status of the system is only possible with the vehicle at a complete stop.
NOTE:
The Brake Control system state is not kept in memory from one key cycle to the next. If
the system is turned off, it will turn on when the vehicle is restarted.
Changing Brake Control Sensitivity
By changing the settings on the menu of the Uconnect system, you can change the sensi-
tivity of the system by choosing one of the following three options: "Near", "Medium" or
"Far". Refer to "Multimedia" in the Owner' s Manual on
www.fiatusa.com/en/owners/manuals for further information.
The default option is "Medium". This setting provides that the system notify the driver of
a possible accident with the vehicle ahead of it when the latter is at a standard distance,
intermediate between the other two possible settings.
By setting the sensitivity of the system to "Far", the system will warn the driver of a pos-
sible accident with the vehicle in front when the latter is at a greater distance, giving you
the chance to act on the brakes in a more limited and gradual. This setting gives the
driver the maximum possible time of reaction to prevent a possible accident.
By changing the option to "Near", the system will warn the driver of a possible accident
with the vehicle ahead of it when the latter is a reduced distance. This setting offers a
reaction time to the driver lower than the settings "Medium" and "Far", in the case of a
potential accident, while a more dynamic driving of the car.
The setting of the sensitivity of the system is maintained in memory when the engine is
switched off.
