Turning Fcw On Or Off - Jeep grand cherokee 2016 Operating Information Manual

as required. If a Forward Collision Warning
with Mitigation event begins at a speed be-
low 20 mph (32 km/h), the system may pro-
vide the maximum or partial braking to miti-
gate the potential forward collision. If the
Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation
event stops the vehicle completely, the sys-
tem will hold the vehicle at standstill for two
seconds and then release the brakes.
FCW Message
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
1 mph (2 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.
• It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To
prevent such misuse of the system, after
four Active Braking events within a key
cycle, the Active Braking portion of FCW
will be deactivated until the next key
cycle.
• 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 sur-
roundings. If the vehicle enters 4WD Low
Range, the FCW system will be automati-
cally deactivated.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not in-
tended to avoid a collision on its own, nor
can FCW detect every type of potential col-
lision. The driver has the responsibility to
avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via
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

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
