Forward Collision Warning (Fcw) With Mitigation Operation - Chrysler 300 2017 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 acti-
vated, 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.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
With Mitigation Operation
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
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 Sta-
bility Control (ESC) system, 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 deter-
mines that the driver intends to avoid the colli-
sion 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 20 mph (32 km/h), the
system may provide the maximum or partial
braking to mitigate the potential forward colli-
sion. If the Forward Collision Warning with Miti-
gation event stops the vehicle completely, the
system will hold the vehicle at standstill for two
seconds and then release the brakes.
