FCA produces warning messages and warning alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels, such as abrupt stopping of the vehicle in front or insufficient braking distance. Also, it controls the brakes in accordance with the collision risk levels.
Collision Warning (First warning)
This warning message appears on the LCD display with a warning chime. Additionally, some vehicle system intervention occurs by the engine management system to help decelerate the vehicle.
-- Your vehicle speed may decelerate moderately.
-- FCA system has limited controls of the brakes to preemptively mitigate impact
in a collision.
-- If you select ‘Warning only’, FCA system activates and produces only warning
alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels. You should control the brake
directly because FCA system does not control the brake.
Emergency Braking (Second warning)
This warning message appears on the LCD display with a warning chime. Additionally, some vehicle system intervention occurs to help decelerate the vehicle.
-- FCA system has limited controls of the brakes to preemptively mitigate impact
in a collision. The brake control is maximized just before a collision.
-- If you select ‘Warning only’, FCA system activates and produces only warning
alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels. You should control the braking
directly because the FCA system will not control the brakes for you.
