Forward Collision Warning (Fcw) With Mitigation - If Equipped - Chrysler Voyager 2023 Owner's Manual

Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime mode, the
BSM system will provide a visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected object. If the turn signal is then
activated, and it corresponds to an alert present on that side of
the vehicle, an audible chime will also be sounded. Whenever a
turn signal and detected object are present on the same side at
the same time, both the visual and audible alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert the radio (if on) will also be
muted.
NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is requested by the BSM
system, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall respond with
both visual and audible alerts when a detected object is
present. Whenever an audible alert is requested, the radio
is also muted. Turn/hazard signal status is ignored; the
RCP state always requests the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will be no visual
or audible alerts from either the BSM or RCP systems.
NOTE:
 The BSM system will store the current operating mode
when the vehicle is shut off. Each time the vehicle is
started the previously stored mode will be recalled and
used.
 The BSM system can work in conjunction with the
KeySense function of the vehicle (if equipped)

FCW with Mitigation provides the driver with audible
warnings, visual warnings (within the instrument cluster
display), and may apply a brake jerk to warn the driver
when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings
and limited braking 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 the Electronic Brake Controller (EBC), to
calculate the probability of a forward collision. When the
system determines that a forward collision is probable, the
driver will be provided with audible and visual warnings
and may provide a brake jerk warning.
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 an FCW with Mitigation event begins at a speed below
37 mph (60 km/h), the system may provide the maximum
braking possible 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 standstill
for two seconds and then release the brakes. If a pedestrian is
encountered in the path at the same speed threshold, the
system will also attempt to bring the vehicle to a stop.

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 page 244.
Ú
NOTE:
 The minimum speed for FCW activation is 1 mph
(2 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 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 unnecessary warnings to the
surroundings.
