windshield, headlamps, and FCA
sensors clean and in good repair.
Tailgating Alert
The vehicle ahead indicator will
change to amber if following the
vehicle ahead much too close.
Collision Alert
When your vehicle approaches
another vehicle too rapidly, the red
FCA display will appear and sound
several beeps. When this occurs,
the brake system prepares for driver
braking to occur more rapidly.
Continue to apply the brake pedal
as the driving situation dictates.
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is on the
steering wheel. Press COLLISION
ALERT to set the alert timing to far,
medium, near or off. The first button
press shows the current control
setting on the DIC. Additional button
presses will change this setting. The

Alert features. The timing of both
alerts will vary based on vehicle
speed. The faster the vehicle speed,
the further away the alert will occur.
Driving and Operating
Consider traffic and weather

timing. The range of selectable alert
timing may not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions.

page 5 41. The minimum distance is
