Forward Collision Warning (Fcw) - Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE 2017 User Manual

NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is requested by the
BSM system, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall
respond with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. Whenever
an audible alert is requested, the radio is also
muted. Turn/hazard signal status is ignored;
the RCP state always requests the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will
be no visual or audible alerts from either the
BSM or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current oper-
ating mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each
time the vehicle is started the previously
stored mode will be recalled and used.

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
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 Electronic
Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the prob-
ability of a forward collision. When the sys-
tem 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 ap-
pear in the instrument cluster display.
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 poten-
tial collisions more distant in front of the
vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most
reaction time to avoid a collision.
