EMERGENCY BRAKING
COLLISION WARNINGFCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway through front view camera recognition and front radar signals to warn the driver that a collision is imminent and, if necessary, temporarily apply emergency braking Initially, FCA provides Collision Warning when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster
If FCA detects that the collision risk has increased, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a possible collision
With the turn signal on, if it detects a potential collision, Junction Tu r n i n g A may help to avoid the collision with an oncoming vehicle in an adjacent lane when turning left by applying emergency braking
