290 SAFETY
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.
If the vehicle enters 4WD Low, the FCW

system will be automatically deactivated.
The active braking is disabled when a trailer

is connected with a Mopar® Trailer Towing
system. If the vehicle is equipped with an
aftermarket system, it is recommended that
the Active Braking is turned off manually
Ú page 425.
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 Forward Collision menu setting is located in
the Uconnect settings.
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is "Warning + Active
Braking," this allows the system to warn you of
a possible collision with the vehicle in front of
you and enable the active braking.
Changing the FCW status to "Off" deactivates

the system, so no warning or active braking
will be available in case of a possible colli-
sion.
Changing the FCW status to "Only warning"

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, but
maintains the audible and visual warnings.
Changing the status of the system is only
possible with the vehicle at a complete stop.
NOTE:
The FCW system state is not kept in memory
from one ignition position to the next. If the
system is turned off, it will turn on when the
vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW Sensitivity
By changing the settings on the menu of the
Uconnect system, you can change the
sensitivity of the system by choosing one of the
following three options: "Near", "Medium" or
"Far" Ú page 159.
The default option is "Medium". This setting
allows the system to warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front when
it is at a standard distance, intermediate
between the "Near" and "Far" settings.
By setting the sensitivity of the system to "Far",
the system will warn the driver of a possible
accident with the vehicle in front when the latter
is at a greater distance, giving you the chance to
act on the brakes in a more limited and gradual
way. This setting gives the driver the maximum
possible time of reaction to prevent a possible
accident.
By changing the option to "Near", the system will
warn the driver of a possible accident with the
vehicle ahead of it when the latter is a reduced
distance. This setting offers a reaction time to
the driver lower than the settings "Medium" and
"Far", in the case of a potential accident,
providing a more dynamic driving of the vehicle.
