SAFETY
Changing the FCW status to the "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 the "Medium" set-
ting. This provides the most reaction time to avoid a
possible collision.
NOTE:
The "Far" setting may result in a greater number of FCW
possible collision warnings experienced.
Changing the FCW status to the "Near" setting 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 "Medium" set-
tings, which allows for a more dynamic driving
experience.
NOTE:
The "Near" setting may result in a lesser number of
FCW possible collision warnings experienced.
NOTE:
•
Changing the FCW status to "Only Warning" pre-
vents the system from providing limited active brak-
ing, or additional brake support if the driver is not
braking adequately in the event of a potential frontal
collision, but maintains the audible and visual
warnings.
•
Changing the FCW status to "Off" prevents the sys-
tem from providing autonomous braking, or addi-
tional brake support if the driver is not braking
adequately in the event of a potential frontal
collision.
•
The system will retain the last setting selected by
the driver after ignition shut down.
•
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 rates of speed.
•
FCW will be disabled with the unavailable screens.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster displays "FCW Limited Func-
tionality" or "FCW Limited Functionality Clean Front
Windshield" momentarily, there may be a condition that
limits FCW functionality. Although the vehicle is still
drivable under normal conditions, the active braking
may not be fully available. Once the condition that lim-
ited 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:
•
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 condi-
tions, have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) —
If Equipped
The Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) is a subsys-
tem 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 col-
lision 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/
cyclist. 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 sys-
tem to warn you of a possible frontal collision with the
pedestrian/cyclist.
