276 SAFETY
 Medium
 When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the "Medium"
setting and the system status is "Only Warning",
this allows the system to warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front using
audible/visual warnings.
 Near
 When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the "Near"
setting and the system status is "Only Warning",
this allows the system to warn the driver of a
possible closer collision with the vehicle in front
using audible/visual warnings.
 This setting provides less reaction time than the
"Far" and "Medium" settings, which allows for a
more dynamic driving experience.
 More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to
avoid frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
The "Near" setting may result in a lesser number of FCW
possible collision warnings experienced.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster displays "ACC/FCW Limited
Functionality" or "ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Clean
Front Windshield" momentarily, there may be a condition
that limits FCW functionality. Although the vehicle is still
driveable 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.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster
displays:
 ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required
 Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system fault. Although
the vehicle is still drivable under normal conditions, have
the system checked by an authorized dealer.
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) —
If Equipped
PEB is a subsystem of the FCW system that provides the
driver with audible and visual warnings in the instrument
cluster display, and may apply automatic braking when it
detects a potential frontal collision with a pedestrian/
cyclist.
If a PEB event begins at a speed below 37 mph (60 km/h),
the system may provide braking to mitigate the potential
collision with a pedestrian/cyclist. If the PEB event stops
the vehicle completely, the system will hold the vehicle at
a standstill for two seconds and then release the brakes.
When the system determines a collision with the
pedestrian/cyclist in front of you is no longer probable, the
warning message will be deactivated.
The minimum speed for PEB activation is 3 mph (5 km/h).
WARNING!
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) is not intended to
avoid a collision on its own, nor can PEB detect every
type of potential collision with a pedestrian. 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 PEB On Or Off
NOTE:
The default status of PEB is "On." This allows the system
to warn you of a possible frontal collision with the
pedestrian.
The PEB button is located in the Uconnect display in the
controls settings Ú page 191.
To turn the PEB system off, push the Pedestrian
Emergency Braking button once.
To turn the PEB system back on, push the Pedestrian
Emergency Braking button again.
Changing the PEB status to "Off" deactivates the system,
so no warning or active braking will be available in case of
a possible frontal collision with the pedestrian.
NOTE:
The PEB system will retain the last setting selected by the
driver after ignition shut down.
