system determines that the driver intends to
avoid the collision by braking but has not
applied sufficient brake force, the system
will compensate and provide additional
brake force as required.
If a Forward Collision Warning with Mitiga-
tion event begins at a speed below 32 mph
(52 km/h), the system may provide the
maximum braking possible to mitigate the
potential forward collision. If the Forward
Collision Warning with Mitigation event stops
the vehicle completely, the system will hold
the vehicle at standstill for two seconds and
then release the brakes.
FCW Message
When the system determines a collision with
the vehicle in front of you is no longer prob-
able, the warning message will be deacti-
vated.
NOTE:
The minimum speed for FCW activation is

1 mph (2 km/h).
The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects

other than vehicles such as guard rails or
sign posts based on the course prediction.
This is expected and is a part of normal FCW
activation and functionality.
It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To

prevent such misuse of the system, after
four Active Braking events within a key
cycle, the Active Braking portion of FCW
will be deactivated until the next key
cycle.
The FCW system is intended for on-road

use only. If the vehicle is taken off-road,
the FCW system should be deactivated to
prevent unnecessary warnings to the
surroundings.
FCW may not react to irrelevant objects

such as overhead objects, ground reflec-
tions, objects not in the path of the
vehicle, stationary objects that are far
away, oncoming traffic, or leading vehicles
with the same or higher rate of speed.
FCW will be disabled like ACC, with the

unavailable screens.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not
intended to avoid a collision on its own,
nor can FCW detect every type of potential
collision. The driver has the responsibility
to avoid a collision by controlling the
vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to
follow this warning could lead to serious
injury or death.
Turning FCW On or Off
The FCW button is located in the Uconnect
display in the control settings. Refer to
"Uconnect Settings" in "Multimedia" in the
Owner's Manual for further information.
To turn the FCW system on, press the

forward collision button once to turn the
system on.
To turn the FCW system off, press the

forward collision button once to turn the
system off.
