212 SAFETY
Changing the FCW status to "off" deactivates the system,
so no warning or active braking will be available in case of
a possible collision
NOTE:
• The FCW system state is kept in memory from one key
cycle to the next. If the system is turned off, it will
remain off when the vehicle is restarted.
• FCW can work in conjunction with the KeySense func-
tion of the vehicle if equipped. Refer to "KeySense
Features in "Getting To Know Your Vehicle" for further
information.
Changing FCW And Active Braking Status
The FCW Sensitivity And Active Braking Settings are pro-
grammable through the Uconnect System. Refer to "Uconnect
Settings" in "Multimedia" for further information.
The default status of FCW is the "Medium" setting and the
Active Braking is in the "On" setting. This allows the
system to warn the driver of a possible collision with the
vehicle in front using audible/visual warnings and it
applies autonomous braking.
Changing the FCW status to "Far" setting allows the
system to warn the driver of a possible collision with the
vehicle in front using audible/visual warning when the
latter is at a farther distance than Medium setting. This
provides the most reaction time to avoid a possible colli-
sion.
Changing the FCW status to the "Near" setting, allows the
system to warn the driver of a possible collision with the
vehicle in front when the distance between the vehicle in
the front is much closer. This setting provides less reaction
time than the "Far" and "Medium" settings, which allows
for a more dynamic driving experience.
Changing the Active Braking status to "Off" prevents the
system from providing autonomous braking, or additional
brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in the
event of a potential frontal collision.
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 over-
head objects, ground reflections, objects not in the path
of the vehicle, stationary objects that are far away,
oncoming traffic, or leading vehicles with the same or
higher rate of speed.
