be provided with audible and visual warnings
and may provide a brake jerk warning.
If the driver does not take action based upon
these progressive warnings, then the system
will provide a limited level of active braking to
help slow the vehicle and mitigate the potential
forward collision. If the driver reacts to the
warnings by braking and the system determines
that the driver intends to avoid the collision by
braking but has not applied sufficient brake
force, the system will compensate and provide
additional brake force as required.
If a Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation
event begins at a speed below 26 mph
(42 km/h), the system may provide the maxi-
mum braking possible to mitigate the potential
forward collision. If the Forward Collision Warn-
ing with Mitigation event stops the vehicle com-
pletely, the system will hold the vehicle at stand-
still for two seconds and then release the
brakes.
FCW Message
When the system determines a collision with the
vehicle in front of you is no longer probable, the
warning message will be deactivated.
NOTE:
• The minimum speed for FCW activation is
1 mph (2 km/h).
• The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects
other than vehicles such as guard rails or sign
posts based on the course prediction. This is
expected and is a part of normal FCW acti-
vation and functionality.
• It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To
prevent such misuse of the system, after four
Active Braking events within a key cycle, the
Active Braking portion of FCW will be deacti-
vated until the next key cycle.
• The FCW system is intended for on-road use
only. If the vehicle is taken off-road, the FCW
system should be deactivated to prevent un-
necessary warnings to the surroundings.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not in-
tended 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.
FCW Settings
The forward collision menu setting is located in
the Uconnect settings.
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is "Full On," this
allows the system to provide warning and au-
tonomous braking in the event of a potential
frontal collision.
Changing the FCW status to "Warning Only"
prevents the system from providing autonomous
braking, or additional brake support if the driver
is not braking adequately in the event of a
potential frontal collision.
Changing the FCW status to off deactivates the
system, so no warning or autonomous braking
will be available in case of a possible collision
NOTE:
The FCW system state is defaulted to ON from
one ignition cycle to the next. If the system is
turned OFF, it will reset to ON when the vehicle
is restarted.
Changing FCW Sensitivity and Operating
Status
The FCW Sensitivity And Operation Settings are
programmable through the Uconnect System.
Refer to "Uconnect Settings" in "Multimedia" for
further information.
The default status of FCW is the "Medium"
setting and the FCW is in the "Full On" setting.
This allows the system to warn the driver of a
101
