104STARTING AND OPERATING
MINIMUM RISK MANEUVER
When the vehicle begins the hands-off steering wheel
warning escalation, previously described, the system will
initiate the Minimum Risk Maneuver for bringing the
vehicle to a stop.
After 23 seconds from the initial absence of the hands on
the steering wheel, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
system will apply a brake jerk to warn the driver to take
vehicle control. If, after another 3 seconds the driver does
not take the control of the vehicle, the system will apply a
second brake jerk.
If the absence of hands on the steering wheel persists, the
system will apply automatic braking to bring the vehicle to
the stop and activate the vehicle’s hazard warning lights.
After the vehicle is stopped, the system will unlock the
doors (if previously locked).
NOTE:If the driver takes control of the vehicle during the
Minimum Risk Maneuver by placing hands on the steering
wheel or pressing the accelerator, the system Minimum
Risk Maneuver will be canceled, and the ADA system will
resume normal function.
SYSTEM STATUS
Along with changes in the system’s indicator lights (green,
yellow, and red), the system can also issue several
accompanying warnings intended to provide the driver
with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate a potential
collision.
Two haptic brake jerk warnings will be issued (red
warning light is being issued).
A steering wheel vibration warning (if enabled) will
occur if the vehicle crosses a lane marker, for example,
when driving on a tight curve. The steering wheel vibra -
tion feature can be turned on or off within the Uconnect
system
