another vehicle too rapidly, the red
FCA display will flash and sound
eight beeps. When this occurs, the
brake system prepares for driver
braking to occur more rapidly.
Continue to apply the brake pedal
as the driving situation dictates.
Selecting the Gap Setting
The Collision Alert control is on the
steering wheel. Press
gap setting to far, medium, near or
off. The first button press shows the
current control setting on the HUD.
Additional button presses will
change this setting. The chosen
setting will remain until it is changed
and will affect both the Collision
Alert and the Tailgating Alert
features. The timing of both alerts
will vary based on vehicle speed.
The faster the vehicle speed, the
further away the alert will occur.
Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the alert
timing. The range of selectable alert
timing may not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions.

unnecessary alerts to turning
