Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci-
dents due to improper or dangerous
driving maneuvers. Even though
vehicle control is improved during
emergency braking, always maintain
a safe distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The vehicle
should be driven at reduced speeds
in the following circumstances:
When driving on rough, gravel or snow-covered roads
When driving with tire chains installed
When driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has differ-
ent surface heights.
Driving in these conditions increases
the stopping distance for your vehicle. The ABS continuously senses the
speed of the wheels. If the wheels
are going to lock, the ABS system
repeatedly modulates the hydraulic
brake pressure to the wheels.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear a “tik-tik’’
sound from the brakes, or feel a cor-
responding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means
your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum benefit
from your ABS in an emergency situa-
tion, do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to pump
your brakes. Press your brake pedal as
hard as possible to allow the ABS to
control the force being delivered to the
brakes.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the vehi-
cle begins to move after the engine is
started. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the anti-lock brake
system is functioning properly.

When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning sys-
tem is activated normally. This setting
allows for a nominal amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle ahead
before the initial warning occurs.
- Later:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning sys-
tem is activated later than normal.
This setting reduces the amount of
distance between the vehicle or
pedestrian before the initial warning
occurs.

FCA warning message and
system control
FCA produces warning messages
and warning alarms in accordance
with the collision risk levels, such as
abrupt stopping of the vehicle in
front, insufficient braking distance,
pedestrian detection. Also, it controls
the brakes in accordance with the
collision risk levels.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the ‘Settings’ on
the LCD display or Infotainment
System screen. The options for the
initial Forward Collision Warning
include Normal or Late initial warning
time.
Collision Warning (1st warning)
The warning message appears on
the LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The Vehicle may slow down slightly - It will operate if the vehicle speedis greater than 5 mph (8 km/h)
and less than or equal to 40 mph
(60 km/h) on a forward vehicle.
(Depending on the condition of
the vehicle ahead and the envi-
ronment surrounding it, the possi-
ble maximum operating speed
may be reduced.) - For pedestrians, the vehicle
speed is greater than or equal to
5 mph (8 km/h) and less than 40
mph (60 km/h). (Depending on
the condition of pedestrians and
the surrounding environment the
possible maximum operating
speed may be reduced.)
FCA system controls the brakes within certain limit to release shock
from the collision.
- If you select “Warning Only”, FCAsystem activates and produces
only warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els. You should control the brake
directly because FCA system do
not control the brake.

Emergency braking (2nd warning)
The warning message appears onthe LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The brake control is maximized just before a collision, reducing
impact when it strikes a forward
vehicle.
- It will operate if the vehicle speedis greater than 5 mph (8 km/h)
and less than or equal to 40 mph
(60 km/h) on a forward vehicle.
(Depending on the condition of
the vehicle ahead and the envi-
ronment surrounding it, the possi-
ble maximum operating speed
may be reduced.) - For pedestrians, the vehicle
speed is greater than or equal to
5 mph (8 km/h) and less than 40
mph (60 km/h) . (Depending on
the condition of pedestrians and
the surrounding environment the
possible maximum operating
speed may be reduced.)
FCA system controls the brakes within certain limit to release shock
from the collision.
FCA system controls the maximum
brakes just before the collision.
- If you select “Warning Only”, FCAsystem activates and produces
only warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els. You should control the brake
directly because FCA system do
not control the brake.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction to assist the driv-
er in depressing the brake pedal.
FCA system provides additional braking power for optimum braking
performance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The braking control is automatical- ly canceled, when risk factors dis-
appear.
