• Changing the FCW status to "Only warning" prevents
the system from providing limited active braking, or
additional brake support if the driver is not braking
adequately in the event of a potential frontal collision,
but maintains the audible and visual warnings.
Changing the status of the system is only possible with the
vehicle at a complete stop.
NOTE: The FCW system state is not kept in memory from
one ignition position to the next. If the system is turned off,
it will turn on when the vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW Sensitivity
By changing the settings on the menu of the Uconnect
system, you can change the sensitivity of the system by
choosing one of the following three options: Near , Me-
dium or Far . Refer to "Uconnect Settings" in "Multime-
dia" for further information.
The default option is Medium . This setting provides that
the system notify the driver of a possible accident with the
vehicle ahead of it when the latter is at a standard distance,
intermediate between the other two possible settings.
By setting the sensitivity of the system to Far , the system
will warn the driver of a possible accident with the vehicle
in front when the latter is at a greater distance, giving you
the chance to act on the brakes in a more limited and
gradual. This setting gives the driver the maximum pos-
sible time of reaction to prevent a possible accident.
By changing the option to Near , the system will warn the
driver of a possible accident with the vehicle ahead of it
when the latter is a reduced distance. This setting offers a
reaction time to the driver lower than the settings Me-
dium and Far , in the case of a potential accident, while a
more dynamic driving of the vehicle.
The setting of the sensitivity of the system is maintained in
memory when the engine is switched off.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display reads "FCW Limited
Functionality" or "FCW Limited Functionality Wipe Front
Windshield" momentarily, there may be a condition that
limits FCW functionality. Although the vehicle is still
drivable under normal conditions, the active braking may
not be fully available. Once the condition that limited the
system performance is no longer present, the system will
return to its full performance state. If the problem persists,
see your authorized dealer.
