250 SAFETY
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 respon-
sibility 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. See page 181 for further infor-
mation.
•
To turn the FCW system on, press the forward colli-
sion button once.
•
To turn the FCW system off, press the forward colli-
sion button once.
NOTE:
•
When the FCW is "on", this allows the system to
warn the driver of a possible collision with the
vehicle in front.
•
When the FCW is "off", this prevents the system
from warning the driver of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front. If the FCW is set to "off", "FCW
OFF" will be displayed in the instrument cluster
display.
•
When FCW status is set to "Only Warning", this pre-
vents the system from providing limited active brak-
ing, or additional brake support if the driver is not
braking adequately in the event of a potential frontal
collision.
•
When FCW status is set to "Warning and Braking",
this allows the system to warn the driver of a pos-
sible collision with the vehicle in front using audible/
visual warnings and it applies autonomous braking.
•
The FCW system state is defaulted to "Full On" from
one ignition cycle to the next. If the system is turned
off, it will reset to "Full On" when the vehicle is
restarted.
FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking status are pro-
grammable through the Uconnect system. See
page 181 for further information.
•
Far
○
When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the "Far"
setting and the system status is "Only Warning",
this allows the system to warn the driver of a pos-
sible more distant collision with the vehicle in
front using audible/visual warnings.
○
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent
warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
The "Far" setting may result in a greater number of
FCW possible collision warnings experienced.
•
Medium
○
When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the
"Medium" setting and the system status is "Only
Warning", this allows the system to warn the
driver of a possible collision with the vehicle in
front using audible/visual warnings.
•
Near
○
When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the "Near"
setting and the system status is "Only Warning",
this allows the system to warn the driver of a pos-
sible closer collision with the vehicle in front
using audible/visual warnings.
○
This setting provides less reaction time than the
"Far" and "Medium" settings, which allows for a
more dynamic driving experience.
○
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to
avoid frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
The "Near" setting may result in a lesser number of
FCW possible collision warnings experienced.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster displays "ACC/FCW Limited
Functionality" or "ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Clean
Front Windshield" momentarily, there may be a condi-
tion 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 pres-
ent, 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
displays:
•
ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required
•
Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system fault.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under normal condi-
tions, have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.
