Forward Collision Warning (Fcw) With Mitigation - If Equipped - RAM 1500 2019 User Manual

Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will
be no visual or audible alerts from either the
BSM, RCP, or Trailer Merge Assist systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current oper-
ating mode when the vehicle is shut off.
Each time the vehicle is started the previ-
ously stored mode will be recalled and used.
General Information
The following regulatory statement applies to
all Radio Frequency (RF) devices equipped in

Rules and with
license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
NOTE:
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compli-

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With
Mitigation — If Equipped
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
provides the driver with audible, visual warn-
ings (within the instrument cluster display),
and may apply a haptic warning in the form
of a brake jerk, to warn the driver when it
detects a potential frontal collision. The
warnings are intended to provide the driver
with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate
the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the
forward looking sensors as well as Electronic
Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the
probability of a forward collision. When the
Industry Canada
system determines that a forward collision is
probable, the driver will be provided with
audible and visual warnings as well as a
possible haptic warning in the form of a
brake jerk.
If the driver does not take action based upon
these progressive warnings, then the system
will provide 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 determines that the driver intends to
avoid the collision by braking but has not
applied sufficient brake force, the system
will compensate and provide additional
brake force as required.
If a FCW with Mitigation event begins at a
speed below 32 mph (52 km/h), the system
may provide the maximum braking possible
to mitigate the potential forward collision. If
the Forward Collision Warning with Mitiga-
tion event stops the vehicle completely, the
system will hold the vehicle at standstill for
two seconds and then release the brakes.
FCW Message
When the system determines a collision with
the vehicle in front of you is no longer prob-
able, the warning message will be deacti-
vated.
