FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible warnings and
visual warnings within the Driver Information Display (DID), to warn the driver when it detects a
potential frontal collision. The warnings are intended to provide the driver with enough time to
react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the forward looking sensors as well as the Electronic Brake
Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward collision. When the system determines
that a forward collision is probable, the driver will be provided with audible and visual warnings.
Turning FCW ON Or OFF
The forward collision button is located on the switch panel below the Uconnect display.
• To turn the FCW system OFF, push the forward collision button once (LED turns on).
• To turn the FCW system back ON, push the forward collision button again (LED turns off).
NOTE:
• The default status of FCW is "On", this allows the system to warn you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you.
• Changing the FCW status to "Off" prevents the system from warning you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you. If FCW is set to "Off", "FCW OFF" will be displayed
in the Driver Information Display (DID).
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has two settings and can be
changed within the Uconnect System Screen:
• Far
• Near
Far
The default status of FCW is the "Far" setting.
The far setting provides warnings for potential
collisions more distant in front of the vehicle,
allowing the driver to have the most reaction
time to avoid a collision.
More cautious drivers that do not mind fre-
quent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
