WARNING! (Continued)
braking and steering. Failure to follow this
warning could lead to serious injury or death.

Turning FCW ON Or OFF

NOTE:
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 forward collision button is located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect® display.
To turn the FCW system OFF, press the forward
collision button once to turn the system OFF
(led turns on).
To turn the FCW system back ON, press the
forward collision button again to turn the system
ON (led turns off).
Changing the FCW status to "Off" prevents the
system from warning you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you.
Changing the Active Braking status to "Off"
prevents the system from providing limited au-
tonomous braking, or additional brake support if
112
the driver is not braking adequately in the event
of a potential frontal collision.
NOTE:
The FCW system state is kept in memory
from one ignition cycle to the next. If the
system is turned OFF, it will remain off when
the vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW And Active Braking
Status
The FCW Sensitivity And Active Braking Set-
tings are programmable through the Uconnect®
System. Refer to "Uconnect® Settings" in "Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel" for further
information.
The default status of FCW is the "Far" setting
and the Active Braking is the "On" setting, this
allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you when
you are farther away and it applies limited
braking. This gives you the most reaction time
to avoid a possible collision.
Changing the FCW status to the "Near" setting,
allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you when
you are much closer. This setting provides less
reaction time than the "Far" setting, which al-
lows for a more dynamic driving experience.
NOTE:
• The system will retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut
down.
• FCW may not react to irrelevant objects
such as overhead objects, ground reflec-
tions, objects not in the path of the car,
stationary objects that are far away, on-
coming traffic, or leading vehicles with
the same or higher rate of speed.
• FCW will be disabled like ACC, with the
unavailable screens.

tionality" or "ACC/FCW Limited Functionality
