Fiat 500X Owner's Handbook Manual page 78

In the event of an imminent collision the
system intervenes by automatically
braking the vehicle to prevent the crash
or reduce its effects.
60
The system provides the driver with
acoustic and visual signals through
specific messages on the instrument
panel display.
The system may lightly brake to warn
the driver if a possible frontal accident
is detected (limited braking). Signals
and limited braking are intended to
allow the driver to react promptly,
in order to prevent or reduce the effects
of a potential accident.
76
In situations with the risk of collision, if
the system detects no intervention
by the driver, it provides automatic
braking to help slow the vehicle and
mitigate the potential frontal collision
(automatic braking). If intervention
by the driver on the brake pedal
is detected but not deemed sufficient,
the system may intervene in order to
improve the reaction of the braking
system, therefore reducing vehicle
speed further (additional assistance in
braking stage).
Versions equipped with Start&Stop
F1B0096C system: at the end of the automatic
braking, the Start&Stop system will
activate as described in paragraph
"Start&Stop system" of the "Starting
and driving" chapter.
Versions with manual gearbox: at
the end of the automatic braking the
engine may stall and turn off, unless the
driver presses the clutch pedal.
Versions with automatic
transmission / twin clutch
automatic transmission: at the end
of the braking, the latest stored gear
is engaged: the vehicle may therefore
restart after a few seconds from the
automatic stop.
IMPORTANT Both on versions
equipped with manual gearbox and on
those with automatic transmission, after
the vehicle is stopped the brake
callipers may be stuck for about 2
seconds for safety reasons. Make sure
you press the brake pedal if the vehicle
moves slightly forwards.
Activation/deactivation
The Full Brake Control system can be
deactivated (and then reactivated)
via the Uconnect™ system (see the
description in the dedicated
supplement).
The system can be deactivated even
with the ignition device at MAR.
IMPORTANT The system status can be
changed with vehicle at a standstill
only.
The Full Brake Control system can be
set to three activation levels through the
Uconnect™ system:
❒ System active: the system (if active),
in addition to the visual and acoustic
warnings, provides limited braking,
automatic braking and additional
assistance in braking stage, where the
driver does not brake sufficiently in
the event of a potential frontal impact;
