• The braking temperature exceeds normal
range (overheated).
• The gear selector is removed from the Drive
position.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the
RES button and release. Resume can be used
at any speed above 19 mph (30 km/h).
To Turn Off
The system will turn off and erase the set speed
in memory if:
• The Normal (Fixed Speed) Electronic Speed
Control ON/OFF button is pushed.
• The ignition is turned off.

FORWARD COLLISION
WARNING (FCW) WITH
MITIGATION — IF EQUIPPED
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
With Mitigation Operation
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
with mitigation provides the driver with audible
warnings, visual warnings (within the DID), and
may apply a brake jerk to warn the driver when
it detects a potential frontal collision. The warn-
ings and limited braking 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 and may
provide a brake jerk warning. If the driver
does not take action based upon these pro-
gressive warnings, then the system will pro-
vide 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 deter-
mines that the driver intends to avoid the
collision by braking but has not applied
sufficient brake force, the system will com-
pensate 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 or partial braking 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 a
standstill for two seconds and then release the
brakes.
