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 probable,
the warning message will be deactivated
Ú page 352.
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 an ignition cycle,
the Active Braking portion of FCW will be
deactivated until the next ignition 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.
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 on the Uconnect
display in the control settings. Forward Collision
can be checked or unchecked, see Ú page 140
for further information.
When FCW is selected off, there will be an
"FCW OFF" icon that appears in the instrument
cluster display.
Changing the FCW status to off prevents the
system from warning you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you.
NOTE:
The FCW system's default state is on. The FCW
system state is kept in memory from one igni-
tion cycle to the next. If the system is turned
OFF, it will remain off when the vehicle is
restarted.
Changing FCW And Active Braking Status
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking settings
are programmable through the Uconnect
System. Refer to Ú page 140 for further
information.
The default status of FCW is the "Far" setting
and the Active Braking is set to "on"; this allows
the system to warn you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you when you are
farther away and it applies limited braking. This
gives you the most reaction time to avoid a
possible collision.
