314 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 476.
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 guard rails 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 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 unnec-
essary 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 unavail-

able screens.
During an FCW event when towing a trailer, your

Electronic Brake system will respond by acti-
vating the trailer brakes (if equipped).
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. For further information, see
Ú page 247.
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.
