FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible warnings
and visual warnings within the Driver Information Display (DID), to warn the driver when
it detects a 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 forward looking sensors as well as the Electronic
Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward collision. When the
system determines that a forward collision 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 be
displayed in the Driver Information Display (DID).
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the Uconnect System
Screen:
• Far
• Medium
• Near
Far
The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of the
vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to avoid a collision.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
