SAFETY
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 Forward Collision menu setting is located in the
Uconnect Settings.
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is "On", this allows the system
to warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front
of you.
Changing the FCW status to "Off" deactivates the system,
so no warning or active braking will be available in case of
a possible collision.
NOTE:
 The FCW system state is kept in memory from one key
cycle to the next. If the system is turned off, it will
remain off when the vehicle is restarted.
 FCW can work in conjunction with the KeySense func-
tion of the vehicle (if equipped)
Ú
FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking status are
programmable through the Uconnect system
page 105.
Ú
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 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:
page 64.
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.
 Changing the FCW status to "Off" prevents the system
from providing autonomous braking, or additional
brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in
the event of a potential frontal collision.
 The system will retain the last setting selected by the
driver after ignition shut down.
 FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such as over-
head 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 rates of speed.
 FCW will be disabled with the unavailable screens.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster displays "FCW Limited
Functionality" or "FCW Limited Functionality Clean Front
Windshield" momentarily, there may be a condition that
limits FCW functionality. Although the vehicle is still
drivable under normal conditions, the active braking may
not be fully available. Once the condition that limited the
system performance is no longer present, the system will
return to its full performance state. If the problem persists,
see an authorized dealer.
