If intervention by the driver on of
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).
The system will not intervene if the
driver takes control of the vehicle and
is recognised as being aware of the
situation and possible collision.
The vehicle is equipped with the
"creeping" function. It may therefore
restart a few seconds after the
automatic stop in the case of vehicles
with automatic transmission.
If braking brings the vehicle to a stop
the engine may stall on vehicles with
manual transmission.
WARNING After the vehicle is stopped,
the brake callipers may be locked for
about 2 seconds for safety reasons.
Make sure you press the brake pedal if
the vehicle moves slightly forwards.
Engagement / disengagement
The Autonomous Emergency Brake
Control can be deactivated (and then
switched back on again) using the
Uconnect™ system (see "Settings"
in the"Vehicle mode" paragraph in
the "Multimedia" section), or using the
instrument panel (see "Settings" in the
"Display" paragraph in the "Knowing
the instrument panel" section).
The system can be turned off even with
the ignition device in MAR position.
The system can be set to two
activation levels:
System active: the system (if active),
in addition to the visual and acoustic
warnings, provides automatic braking
and additional assistance in braking
stage, where the driver does not brake
sufficiently in the event of a potential
frontal impact;
System deactivated : the system
does not give visual and acoustic
warnings, limited braking, automatic
braking or additional assistance during
braking. The system will therefore
provide no indication of a possible
accident.
WARNING Visual signals will indicate
the direction of detection of the
obstacle (vehicles, pedestrians or
cyclists).
Activation / deactivation
If Autonomous Emergency Brake
Control has been correctly activated, it
will be active each time the engine is
started.
The system is deactivated if this is
selected on the instrument panel or
Uconnect™ system menu.
Following a deactivation, the system
will not warn the driver about the
possible accident with the preceding
vehicle, regardless of the setting
selected.
The system activation status will not
be kept in the memory when the
engine is switched off: if the system
is deactivated when the engine is
switched off, it will be active when it its
next started.
After a deactivation, the system can
be reactivated from the Uconnect™
system or instrument panel menu.
The function is not active at speed
above 5 km/h.
The system is only active if:
it has been activated correctly;
it has not been deactivated using
the instrument panel or Uconnect™
system menu;
the ignition device is at MAR;
the vehicle speed is greater than
5 km/h.
Changing the system sensitivity
The sensitivity of the system can be
changed through the Uconnect™
system or instrument panel menu,
choosing from one of the following
three options: "Near", "Med" or "Far".
See the description in the "Multimedia"
section for how to change the settings.
The default option is "Med". With this
setting, the system warns the driver of
127
