Automatic Collision
Preparation (ACP) System
ACP may help reduce crash
damage by applying the vehicle s
brake system and has a detection
range of approximately 60 m
(197 ft). Braking can only occur if a
vehicle is detected ahead. This is
shown by the FCA vehicle-ahead
indicator being lit. See
.
WARNING
ACP is an emergency crash
preparation feature and is not
designed to avoid crashes. Do
not rely on ACP to brake the
vehicle.
ACP may not:
Respond to stopped vehicles,
pedestrians, or animals.
Detect a vehicle ahead on
winding or hilly roads.
WARNING (Continued)
Detect a stopped or
slow-moving vehicle or other
object ahead.
Detect a vehicle when
weather limits visibility, such
as in fog, rain, or snow. In
these situations, ACP sensor
performance is limited.
Complete attention is always
required while driving, and you
should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes and/or steer
the vehicle to avoid crashes.

Brake Preparation

When quickly approaching a vehicle
ahead, Brake Preparation reduces
brake response time by having the
brake system prepared for driver
braking to occur more rapidly.

Automatic Braking

In some imminent front-end crash
situations, if the driver has not
applied the brakes, Automatic
Braking applies the brakes to help
reduce crash damage. It may even
help avoid some crashes at very low
speeds.
Automatic Braking may slow the
vehicle to a complete stop to try to
avoid a potential crash. If this
happens, Automatic Braking will
engage the electric parking brake to
hold the vehicle at a stop. A firm
press of the accelerator pedal will
release Automatic Braking.
WARNING
Automatic Braking may
automatically brake the vehicle
in situations where it may be
unnecessary. It could respond
to a turning vehicle ahead,
guardrails, signs, and other
non-moving objects. This could
