Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
System — If Equipped
This is a driving assistance system
composed of a radar located behind the
front bumper and a camera located in the
center of the windshield.
Front Bumper Radar Location
Windshield Camera Location
In the event of an imminent collision, the
system intervenes by automatically
applying the vehicle's brakes to prevent a
collision or reduce its effects.
The system provides the driver with
audible and visual signals through
specific messages on the instrument
cluster display.
The system may lightly brake to warn the
driver if a possible frontal accident is
detected (limited braking). Signals and
limited braking are intended to allow the
driver to react promptly, in order to
prevent or reduce the effects of a
potential accident.
In situations with the risk of collision, if
the system detects no intervention by
the driver, it provides automatic braking
to help slow the vehicle and mitigate the
potential frontal collision (automatic
braking). If intervention by the driver on
the brake pedal is detected, but not

deemed sufficient, the system may
intervene in order to improve the
reaction of the braking system, therefore
reducing vehicle speed further
(additional assistance in braking stage).
The system will intervene automatically
in case of imminent collision or impact
against a pedestrian crossing the road
(speed under 31 mph (50 km/h).
Note: For safety reasons, when the
vehicle has stopped, the brake calipers
may remain blocked for about two
06016V0004EM
seconds. Make sure you press the brake
pedal if the vehicle moves slightly forward.
Warning!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not
intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor
can FCW detect every type of potential
collision. 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.
Engagement/Disengagement
The following functions can be selected
in sequence using the Information and
Entertainment System:
1. "Settings."
2. "Safety."
3. "Forward Collision Warning."
4. "Mode."
Select from among three operating
modes:
Warning and brake: the system (if
active), in addition to the visual and
audible warnings, provides limited
braking, automatic braking and additional
assistance in braking stage, where the
driver does not brake sufficiently in the
event of a potential frontal impact.
Only warning: the system (if active),
does not provide limited braking, but
guarantees automatic braking or
additional assistance in braking stage,
