amber warning light on instrument
cluster light on.
Changing the status to "Off" prevents
the system from providing any braking
aid if the driver is not braking
adequately in the event of a potential
collision.
When "Off", all the functionality is
switched off. Both the warnings and
the brakings (including braking aids)
will not be performed.
NOTE:
The default FCW system status is kept
in memory from one key cycle to the
next. If the system is turned off, it will
return on when the vehicle is
restarted: in this case, the
corresponding warning light light off.
Changing FCW Sensitivity and
Active Braking
The default status of FCW Sensitivity is
the "Medium" setting. When also the
"Forward Collision Warning Active
Braking" function setting is "On", the
system warns you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of
you when you are farther away and it
applies limited braking. This gives you
the most reaction time to avoid a
possible collision.
Changing the status to the "Near"
setting, allows the system to warn you
of a possible collision with the vehicle
in front of you when you are much
closer. This setting provides less
reaction time than the "Far" setting,
which allows for a more dynamic
driving experience.
"Medium" is the intermediate status
between the two described above.
NOTE:
• The default values shall appear at
every new ignition cycle: FCW = on,
Sensitivity = "Medium" and Active
Braking = on.
• FCW may not react to irrelevant
objects such as objects not in the
path of the car, stationary objects
that are far away, oncoming traffic,
on cross traffic vehicles, or leading
vehicles with the same or higher rate
of speed.
• The active braking (autonomous
braking/braking aid) will not engage
in case of potential collision with
static object such as guard rails,
walls, etc..
• FCW will be disabled like ACC (refer
to chapter "Adaptive Cruise Control
- ACC (optional)" in this section.
Changing the active braking status to
"Off" prevents the system from
providing limited autonomous braking
or additional brake support if the
driver is not braking adequately in the
event of a potential frontal collision.
In this state the system disables the
brake jerk.
Limited Operation and Service
Warning
The messages indicating on display the
limited functionality or service at
Service Network required are the
same as for the ACC system. For
further details, refer to "Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC) (optional)" in this
section.
