OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the Uconnect
®
System Screen:
• Far
• Near
• Off
NOTE:
The FCW and active braking settings can only be changed when the vehicle is in
PARK.
Far
The default status of FCW is the "Far" setting.
The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of the
vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to avoid a collision.
This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration) recommendations.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Near
Changing the FCW status to the "Near" setting, allows the system to warn you of a
potential frontal collision when you are much closer.
This setting provides less reaction time than the "Far" setting, which allows for a
more dynamic driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer
this setting.
Off
• Changing the FCW status to "Off" prevents the system from warning you of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front of you.
Turning Active Braking ON Or OFF
The Active Braking feature has two settings and can be changed within the
Uconnect System Screen:
®
• On
• Off
Changing the Active Braking status to "Off" prevents the system from providing
limited autonomous braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking
adequately in the event of a potential frontal collision.
