Forward Collision Warning With Mitigation; Rear Cross Path; Mode Of Operation - Jeep COMPASS 2018 Quick Reference Manual

Rear Cross Path

The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is intended
to aid the driver when backing out of parking
spaces where their vision of oncoming vehicles
may be blocked. Proceed slowly and cautiously
out of the parking space until the rear end of the
vehicle is exposed. The RCP system will then
have a clear view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the driver.

Mode Of Operation

Three selectable modes of operation are avail-
able through the Uconnect System.

Forward Collision Warning With
Mitigation — If Equipped
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
provides the driver with active braking, audible
and visual warnings [within the instrument
cluster display] and may apply a brake jerk to
warn the driver when it detects a potential
frontal collision. The warnings and limited
braking are intended to provide the driver with
enough time to react and avoid or mitigate the
potential collision.
FCW monitors the information from the
forward-looking sensor, as well as the Elec-
tronic Brake Controller (EBC) to calculate a
probable collision. When the system deter-
mines that a collision is probable, a warning
Residents) or
message (both audible and visual) will be dis-
played within the cluster display along with a
brake jerk warning (previously enabled in the
Uconnect Settings). When the system senses
the driver applying the brakes to avoid a prob-
able collision, additional brake force will be
provided to the vehicle. When the system deter-
mines a collision with the vehicle in front of you
is no longer probable, the warning message will
be deactivated.
NOTE:
The FCW feature can be customized and turned
off through the Uconnect System touchscreen.
