SAFETY
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 Ú page 395.
NOTE:
The minimum speed for FCW activation is
3 mph (5 km/h).
The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects
other than vehicles, such as guardrails or sign
posts based on the course prediction. This is
expected and is a part of normal FCW activation
and functionality.
It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To prevent
such misuse of the system, after four Active
Braking events within an ignition cycle, the
Active Braking portion of FCW will be deacti-
vated 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 unnec-
essary warnings to the surroundings. If the
vehicle enters 4WD Low, the FCW system will be
automatically deactivated.
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.
FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking status are
programmable through the Uconnect system
Ú page 203.
NOTE:
The default sensitivity of FCW is the "Medium"
setting and the system status is "Warning &
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.
Changing the FCW status to the "Far" setting
allows the system to warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front using
an audible/visual warning when the latter is at
a farther distance than the "Medium" setting.
This provides the most reaction time to avoid a
possible collision.
NOTE:
The "Far" setting may result in a greater number of
FCW possible collision warnings experienced.
Changing the FCW status to the "Near" setting
allows the system to warn the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front when the
distance between the vehicle in the front is much
closer. This setting provides less reaction time
than the "Far" and "Medium" settings, which
allows for a more dynamic driving experience.
NOTE:
The "Near" setting may result in a lesser number of
FCW possible collision warnings experienced.
NOTE:
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.
