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
5 mph (10 km/h).
• The FCW alerts may be triggered on ob-
jects 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
functionality.

• It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To
prevent such misuse of the system, after
4 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 sur-
roundings. If the vehicle enters 4WD Low
Range, the FCW system will be automati-
cally deactivated.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not in-
tended to avoid a collision on its own, nor
can FCW detect every type of potential col-
lision. 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.
and
Turning FCW ON Or OFF
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is "On", this
allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you.
The forward collision button is located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect® display.
