Engagement/Disengagement; Activation/Deactivation; Changing The System Sensitivity; Uconnect Supplement For How To Change The Settings. - Fiat 500X Owner's Handbook Manual

Versions equipped with Start&Stop
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 transmission:
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/dual clutch automatic
transmission: at the end of the
braking, the latest stored gear is
engaged: the car may therefore restart
after a few seconds from the automatic
stop.
IMPORTANT Both on versions
equipped with manual transmission and
on those with automatic transmission,
after the car 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 Full Brake Control system can be
deactivated (and then reactivated) via
the Uconnect™ system (see the
description in the dedicated
supplement).
82
The system can be turned off even with
the ignition device at MAR.
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 accident;
System partially active: the system (if
active) does not provide limited braking,
but guarantees automatic braking or
additional assistance in braking stage,
where the driver does not brake at all or
not sufficiently in the event of a potential
frontal accident. The visual and
acoustic warnings are deactivated, and
will not be provided;
System deactivated: the system
does not provide visual and acoustic
warnings, limited braking, automatic
braking or additional assistance in
braking stage. The system will therefore
provide no warning of a possible
accident.

Activation/deactivation

If the Full Brake Control system has
been correctly activated with the
Uconnect™ system, this will be active
each time the engine is started.
Following a deactivation, the system will
not warn the driver about the possible
accident with the preceding vehicle,
regardless of the setting selected with
the Uconnect™system.
The system deactivation status will not
be stored when the engine is switched
off: if the system is deactivated when
the engine is switched off, it will be
active when it is next started.
The function is not active at speed
above 5 km/h.
The system is only active if:
it is correctly activated via the
Uconnect™system;
the ignition device is at MAR;
vehicle speed is higher than 5 km/h;

Changing the system sensitivity

The sensitivity of the system can be
changed through the Uconnect™
system menu, choosing from one of the
following three options: "Near", "Med"
or "Far". See the description in the
Uconnect™supplement for how to
change the settings.
The pre-set option is "Near". With this
setting, the system will warn the driver
of a possible accident with the vehicle
in front when it is close. This setting
offers the driver a lower reaction time
compared to the "Med" and "Far"
settings, in the event of a potential
