SAFETY
with the vehicle in front using audible/visual
warnings and it applies autonomous braking.
Changing the FCW status to the "Far" setting
allows the system to warn the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front using audible/
visual warnings when the latter is at a farther
distance than in the "Medium" setting. This
provides the most reaction time to avoid a possible
collision.
Changing the FCW status to the "Near" setting
allows the system to warn the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front when the vehicle
in the front is much closer. This setting provides
less reaction time than the "Far" and "Medium"
settings, which allows for a more dynamic driving
experience.
NOTE:
The system will retain the last setting selected
by the driver after ignition shut down.
FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such as
overhead objects, ground reflections, 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.
If FCW is disabled, unavailable screens will be
displayed.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display reads "FCW
Limited Functionality" or "FCW Limited
Functionality Clean Front Windshield"
momentarily, there may be a condition that limits
FCW functionality. Although the vehicle is still
driveable 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 an
authorized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster
display reads "FCW Unavailable Service Required",
there is an internal system fault. Although the
vehicle is still driveable under normal conditions,
have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) —
If Equipped
PEB is a subsystem of the Forward Collision
Warning (FCW) system which provides the driver
with audible warnings and visual warnings, in the
instrument cluster display. It may apply limited
automatic braking when it detects a potential
frontal collision with a pedestrian/cyclist.
PEB Message
If a PEB event begins at a speed below 39 mph
(62 km/h), the system may provide maximum
braking to mitigate the potential collision with a
pedestrian. If the PEB event stops the vehicle
completely, the system will hold the vehicle at a
standstill for two seconds and then release the
brakes. When the system determines a collision
with the pedestrian in front of you is no longer
probable, the warning message will be
deactivated.
The minimum speed for PEB activation is 3 mph
(5 km/h).
