FORWARD COLLISION WARNING
(FCW) WITH MITIGATION —
IF EQUIPPED
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Mitigation
system provides the driver with audible, visual warnings
(within the instrument cluster display), and may apply a
haptic warning in the form of a brake jerk, to warn the
driver when it detects a potential frontal collision. The
warnings 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 Electronic Brake Controller (EBC), to
calculate the probability of a forward collision. When
the system determines that a forward collision is prob-
able, the driver will be provided with audible and visual
warnings as well as a possible haptic warning in the
form of a brake jerk.
If the driver does not take action based upon these pro-
gressive warnings, then the system will provide a lim-
ited 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 collision by
braking but has not applied sufficient brake force, the
system will compensate and provide additional brake
force as required. When towing a trailer, the system will
also respond to activate the trailer brakes (if equipped).
If a FCW with Mitigation event begins at a speed below
32 mph (52 km/h), the system may provide the maxi-
mum braking possible to mitigate the potential forward
collision. If the Forward Collision Warning with Mitiga-
tion event stops the vehicle completely, the system will
hold the vehicle at standstill for two seconds and then
release the brakes.
FCW Message
When the system determines a collision with the
vehicle in front of you is no longer probable, the
warning message will be deactivated.
NOTE:
•
The minimum speed for FCW activation is 3 mph
(5 km/h).
•
The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects other
than vehicles such as guard rails or sign posts
based on the course prediction. This is expected
and is a part of normal FCW activation and
functionality.
•
It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To prevent such
misuse of the system, after four Active Braking
events within a key cycle, the Active Braking portion
of FCW will be deactivated until the next key cycle.
•
The FCW system is intended for on-road use only. If
the vehicle is taken off-road, the FCW system should
be deactivated to prevent unnecessary warnings to
the surroundings.
•
FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such as
overhead 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 rate of speed.
•
FCW will be disabled like ACC, with the unavailable
screens.
•
During a FCW event when towing a trailer, your Elec-
tronic Brake system will respond, to activate the
trailer brakes (if equipped).
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 respon-
sibility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle
via braking and steering. Failure to follow this warning
could lead to serious injury or death.
