Turning Fcw On Or Off - Jeep Grand Cherokee Operating Information Manual

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 ob-
jects 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 activation
functionality.

• It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To
prevent such misuse of the system, after
four Active Braking events within an igni-
tion cycle, the Active Braking portion of
FCW will be deactivated until the next
ignition 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 unnecessary warnings to the sur-
roundings. If the vehicle enters 4WD Low
Range or ESC Full-Off Mode is active, the
FCW system will be automatically deacti-
vated.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not in-
tended to avoid a collision on its own, nor
can FCW detect every type of potential col-
lision. The driver has the responsibility to
avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via
braking and steering. Failure to follow this
and 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 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.
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 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.
