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
deactivated 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
unnecessary warnings to the surroundings.
FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such
as overhead objects, ground reflections,
objects not in the path of the vehicle,
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.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not
intended 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
The FCW button is located in the Uconnect
display in the control settings. Refer to
"Uconnect Settings" in "Multimedia" in the
Owner's Manual for further information.
To turn the FCW system on, press the forward
collision button once.
To turn the FCW system off, press the forward
collision button once.
NOTE:
When the FCW is "on", this allows the system
to warn the driver of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front.
When the FCW is "off", this prevents the
system from warning the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front. If the FCW
is set to "off", "FCW OFF" will be displayed in
the instrument cluster display.
When FCW status is set to "Only Warning",
this prevents the system from providing
limited active braking, or additional brake
support if the driver is not braking adequately
in the event of a potential frontal collision.
When FCW status is set to "Warning and
Braking", this allows the system to warn the
driver of a possible collision with the vehicle
in front using audible/visual warnings and it
applies autonomous braking.
The system will retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut-
down.
FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking status
are programmable through the Uconnect
System. Refer to "Uconnect Settings" in
"Multimedia" for further information.
Far
When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the
"Far" setting and the system status is
"Only Warning", this allows the system to
warn the driver of a possible more distant
collisions with the vehicle in front using
audible/visual warnings.
More cautious drivers that do not mind
frequent warnings may prefer this
setting.
