CITY BRAKE CONTROL - "Collision
Mitigation" SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a driving assistance system that can detect the
presence of nearby cars in front of the vehicle and,
in case of imminent collision, intervenes
automatically, braking the car to prevent the impact
or mitigate its effects.
The system only works if:
❒ the ignition key is at MAR-ON;
❒ the car speed is between 5 and 30 km/h;
❒ the front seat belts are fastened.
The system can be deactivated (and then reactivated)
with the display setup menu (see paragraph “Menu
items” in this chapter).
The system activates if there is risk of imminent
collision and the driver does not press the brake
pedal promptly.
If the system detects that the vehicle ahead could be
hit, it may prepare the car to a possible emergency
braking.
If the driver does not carry out any action to prevent
the collision, the system may automatically slow
down the car, in order to prepare it to a possible
impact.
When there is risk of impact, if the action on the
brake pedal by the driver is not sufficient, the system
may intervene in order to improve the reaction of
the braking system, therefore reducing car speed
further.
When driving uphill on a steep slope, the system may
intervene, activating the braking system.
Versions equipped with Start&Stop system: at
the end of the automatic braking, the Start&Stop
system will activate as described in paragraph
"Start&Stop system" of this chapter.
Versions equipped with manual gearbox: at the
end of the automatic braking the engine may stall
and turn off, unless the driver presses the clutch
pedal.
Versions equipped with Dualogic automatic
transmission (for versions/markets, where
provided): at the end of braking the last gear stored
remains engaged.
IMPORTANT Both on versions equipped with
manual gearbox and on those with Dualogic
automatic transmission (for versions/markets, where
provided), after the car is stopped the brake calipers
may be stuck for about 2 seconds for safety reasons.
Make sure you press the brake pedal if the car moves
slightly forwards.
IMPORTANT The system does NOT activate
engaging the reverse. The system does NOT activate
if the front seat belts are not fastened.
