DRIVING AND OPERATING
The vehicle ahead indicator will
display amber when you are following
a vehicle ahead much too closely.
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is on the
steering wheel. Press
FCA timing to Far, Medium, or Near.
The first button press shows the
current setting on the DIC. Additional
button presses will change this
setting. The chosen setting will
remain until it is changed and will
affect the timing of 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 farther away the
alert will occur. Consider traffic and
weather conditions when selecting the
alert timing. The range of selectable
alert timings may not be appropriate
for all drivers and driving conditions.
If your vehicle is equipped with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC),
changing the FCA timing setting does
not change the following gap setting
(Far, Medium, or Near). Adjustments
to the following gap setting can be
made while ACC is engaged.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary alerts
for turning vehicles, vehicles in other
lanes, objects that are not vehicles,
or shadows. These alerts are normal
operation and the vehicle does not
to set the
need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to
operate properly, this may correct the
issue:
Clean the outside of the windshield
in front of the rearview mirror.
Clean the entire front of the vehicle.
Clean the headlamps.
Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
The AEB system may help avoid or
reduce the harm caused by front-end
crashes. AEB also includes Intelligent
Brake Assist (IBA). When the system
detects a vehicle ahead in your path
that is traveling in the same direction
that you may be about to crash into, it
can provide a boost to braking or
automatically brake the vehicle. This
can help avoid or lessen the severity
of crashes when driving in a forward
gear. Depending on the situation, the
vehicle may automatically brake
moderately or hard. This Automatic
Emergency Braking can only occur if a
vehicle is detected. This is shown by
the FCA vehicle ahead indicator being
lit. See Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System 0 318.
The system works when driving in a
forward gear between 8 km/h (5 mph)
and 80 km/h (50 mph), or on vehicles
with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
above 4 km/h (2 mph). It can detect
vehicles up to approximately 60 m
(197 ft).
Warning
AEB is an emergency crash
preparation feature and is not
designed to avoid crashes. Do not
rely on AEB to brake the vehicle.
AEB will not brake outside of its
operating speed range and only
responds to detected vehicles.
AEB may not:
