WARNING
 If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking
function will not operate. Refer to “Active
stability control” on page 5-89.
 If the brake pedal is not depressed within
2 seconds after your vehicle has been
stopped by the FCM, a warning buzzer
will sound and the brakes activated by the
FCM will automatically be released.
Apply the brakes as necessary to keep
your vehicle stationary.
NOTE
 When depressing the brake pedal while auto-
matic braking is applied, the brake pedal will
feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake
pedal harder to apply greater braking force.
 During the automatic braking, operating
sounds may be heard. This is normal.
WARNING
 The FCM will not activate and will not
provide either warning or braking in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:
