SAFETY
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 Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation event begins
at a speed below 39 mph (62 km/h), the system may
provide maximum braking to mitigate the potential
forward collision. If the Forward Collision Warning with
Mitigation event stops the vehicle completely, the system
will hold the vehicle at a 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 probable, the warning message
will be deactivated.
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 deactivated 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 unnecessary 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
page 168.
Ú
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 colli-
sion with the vehicle in front using audible/visual warn-
ings 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.
