the FCW system should be deactivated to
prevent unnecessary 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.
Turning FCW On Or Off
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.
The Forward Collision activation/deactivation is
located in "Uconnect Settings" under "Safety
and Driving Assistance". Forward Collision can
be checked or unchecked.
When FCW is selected off, there will be an
"FCW OFF" icon that appears in the instrument
cluster display.
Changing the FCW status to off prevents the
system from warning you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you.
NOTE:
• The FCW system's default state is on. If
the system is turned off followed by the
ignition being turned to OFF, the FCW
system will reset to on when the vehicle's
engine is restarted.
• FCW system is temporarily turned off
when ESC Full-Off Mode is active.
Changing FCW And Active Braking
Status
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking settings
are programmable through the Uconnect Sys-
tem. Refer to "Uconnect Settings" in "Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel" for further in-
formation.
The default status of FCW is the "Far" setting
and the Active Braking is the "on" setting; this
allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you when you
are farther away and it applies limited braking.
This gives you the most reaction time to avoid a
possible collision.
Changing the FCW status to the "Near" setting,
allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you when you
are much closer. This setting provides less
reaction time than the "Far" setting, which allows
for a more dynamic driving experience.
NOTE:
• The system will retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut
down.
• FCW may not react to irrelevant objects
such as overhead objects, ground reflec-
tions, objects not in the path of the ve-
hicle, stationary objects that are far away,
oncoming traffic, or leading vehicles with
the same or higher rate of speed.
• FCW will be disabled like ACC, with the
unavailable screens.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display reads "ACC/
FCW Limited Functionality" or "ACC/FCW Lim-
ited Functionality Clean Front Windshield" mo-
mentarily, there may be a condition that limits
FCW functionality. Although the vehicle is still
drivable under normal conditions, the active
braking may not be fully available. Once the
condition that limited the system performance is
no longer present, the system will return to its
full performance state. If the problem persists,
see your authorized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument
cluster display reads:
• ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required
• Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required
