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 responsibility
to avoid a collision by controlling the ve-
hicle via braking and steering. Failure to
follow this warning could lead to serious
injury or death.
FCW Settings
The forward collision menu setting is located
in the Uconnect settings.
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is "Full On," this
allows the system to provide warning and
autonomous braking in the event of a poten-
tial frontal collision.
Changing the FCW status to "Warning Only"
prevents the system from providing autono-
mous braking, or additional brake support if
the driver is not braking adequately in the
event of a potential frontal collision.
Changing the FCW status to off deactivates
the system, so no warning or autonomous
braking will be available in case of a possible
collision
NOTE:
The FCW system state is kept in memory from
one ignition cycle to the next. If the system is
turned off, it will remain off when the vehicle
is restarted.
Changing FCW Sensitivity And Operating
Status
The FCW Sensitivity And Operation Settings
are programmable through the Uconnect Sys-
tem. Refer to "Uconnect Settings" in "Multi-
media" in your Owner's Manual for further
information.
The default status of FCW is the "Medium"
setting and the FCW is in the "Full On"
setting. This allows the system to warn the
driver of a possible collision with the vehicle
in front using audible/visual warnings and it
applies autonomous braking.
Changing the FCW status to "Far" setting
allows the system to warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front
using audible/visual warning when the latter
is at a farther distance than "Medium" set-
ting. This provides the most reaction time to
avoid a possible collision.
Changing the FCW status to the "Near" set-
ting, allows the system to warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front
when the distance between the vehicle in the
front is much closer. This setting provides
less reaction time than the "Far" and "Me-
dium" settings, which allows for a more dy-
namic driving experience.
NOTE:
• The system will retain the last setting se-
lected by the driver after ignition shut down.
• FCW may not react to irrelevant objects
such as overhead objects, ground reflec-
tions, objects not in the path of the vehicle,
stationary objects that are far away, oncom-
ing traffic, or leading vehicles with the
same or higher rate of speed.
• If FCW is disabled, unavailable screens will
be displayed.
