Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is on the
steering wheel. Press
steering wheel to set the FCA timing
to far, medium, near or on some
vehicles, off. The first button press
shows the current setting on the
DIC. Additional button presses will
change this setting. The chosen
setting will remain until it is changed
and will affect the timing of both the
Collision Alert and the Tailgating
Alert features. The timing of both
alerts will vary based on vehicle
speed. The faster the vehicle speed,
the farther away the alert will occur.
Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the alert
timing. The range of selectable alert
timing may not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions.
If your vehicle is equipped with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC),
changing the FCA timing setting
automatically changes the following
gap setting (Far, Medium, or Near).

If the FCA system does not seem to
operate properly, cleaning the
outside of the windscreen in front of
the camera sensor on the back of
