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.
NOTE:
 The minimum speed for FCW activation is 3 mph
(5 km/h).
 The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects other than
vehicles such as guardrails 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 over-
head 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.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to
avoid a collision on its own, nor can FCW detect every
type of potential collision. In rare situations, the system
may react to surrounding objects such as tunnels,
bridges, guardrails, etc. The driver has the responsibility
to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via braking,
steering, and acceleration. Unintended braking
reactions can always be overridden by pressing down
firmly on the accelerator. Failure to follow this warning
could lead to serious injury or death.
Turning FCW On Or Off
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.
The FCW setting menu can be adjusted through the
Uconnect Settings page 128.
Ú
 To turn the FCW system on, select between "Only
Warning" and "Warning and Braking" in the FCW menu.
 Select "OFF" in the FCW menu to turn the FCW system
off.
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
prevents the system from providing limited active
braking, 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 possible colli-
sion with the vehicle in front using audible/visual warn-
ings and it applies autonomous braking.
 The system will retain the last setting selected by the
driver after ignition shutdown.
