58
In the event of an imminent collision
the system intervenes by automatically
braking the car to prevent the impact or
reduce its effects.
59
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.
In situations with the risk of collision, if
the system detects no intervention by
the driver, it provides automatic braking
to help slow the car and mitigate the
potential frontal accident (automatic
braking).
If intervention by the driver on the brake
F1B0720
pedal is detected but not deemed
sufficient, the system may intervene
in order to improve the reaction of the
braking system, therefore reducing car
speed further (additional assistance in
braking stage).
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
F1B0656
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 gearbox and
on those with automatic transmission,
after the vehicle is stopped the brake
calipers may be locked for about 2
seconds for safety reasons. Depress
the brake pedal if the vehicle should
advance slightly.
On/off
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 turned off even with
the starter switch 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.
