Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
provides the driver with audible and visual
warnings within the instrument cluster dis-
play to warn the driver when it detects a
86
potential frontal collision. The warnings are
intended to provide the driver with enough
time to react, avoid or mitigate the potential
collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the for-
ward looking sensors, as well as the Elec-
tronic Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate
the probability of a forward collision. When
the system determines that a forward colli-
sion is probable, the driver will be provided
with audible and visual warnings.
Turning FCW On Or Off
The forward collision button is located in the
Uconnect display in the controls settings.
• To turn the FCW system off, press the
forward collision button once to turn the
system OFF.
• To turn the FCW system back on, press the
forward collision button again to turn the
system on.
NOTE:
• The default status of FCW is "on", this
allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you.
• Changing the FCW status to "off" prevents
the system from warning you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you. If
FCW is set to off, "FCW OFF" will appear in
the instrument cluster display.
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has two settings and can be
changed within the Uconnect
Screen:
• Far
• Near
Far
The far setting provides warnings for poten-
tial collisions more distant in front of the
vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most
reaction time to avoid a collision.
