OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
• If the driver does not take action based upon these progressive warnings, then the
system will provide a limited level of active braking to help slow the vehicle and
mitigate the potential forward collision. If the driver reacts to the warnings by
braking and the system determines that the driver intends to avoid the collision by
braking but has not applied sufficient brake force, the system will compensate and
provide additional brake force as required.
Vehicles With A Manual Transmission: After the end of the intervention of automatic
braking, the engine could stall, unless the driver can depress the clutch pedal.
Vehicles With Automatic Transmission: After the end of the intervention of automatic
braking, the transmission may remain in last gear stored: therefore the car could
lurch forward, once the brakes release a few seconds later. If the Forward Collision
Warning with Mitigation event stops the vehicle completely, the system will hold the
vehicle at standstill for two seconds and then release the brakes.
If a Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation event begins at a speed below 20 mph
(32 km/h), the system may provide the maximum braking possible to mitigate the
potential forward collision. If the Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation event
stops the vehicle completely, the system will hold the vehicle at standstill for two
seconds and then release the brakes.
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 4 mph (7 km/h).
• The maximum speed for FCW activation is 124 mph (200 km/h).
• The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects other than vehicles such as guard rails
or sign posts based on the course prediction. This is expected and is a part of
normal FCW activation and functionality.
• 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.
• If the vehicle enters 4WD Low Range, the FCW system will be automatically
deactivated.
• The active braking is enabled only if the front seat belts are fastened.
• The active braking is disabled when a trailer is connected with a Mopar Trailer
Towing system. If the vehicle is equipped with an aftermarket system, it is
recommended that the Active Braking is turned off manually.
