318 STARTING AND OPERATING
• Changing the FCW status to "Off" deactivates the
system, so no warning or active braking will be
available in case of a possible collision
• Changing the FCW status to "Only warning" prevents
the system from providing limited active braking, 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 status of the system is only possible with
the vehicle at a complete stop.
NOTE: The FCW system state is not kept in memory
from one key cycle to the next. If the system is turned
OFF, it will turn On when the vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW Sensitivity
By changing the settings on the menu of the Uconnect®
system, you can change the sensitivity of the system by
choosing one of the following three options: Near ,
Medium or Far . Refer to "Multimedia" for further
information.
The default option is Medium . This setting provides
that the system notify the driver of a possible accident
with the vehicle ahead of it when the latter is at a
standard distance, intermediate between the other two
possible settings.
By setting the sensitivity of the system to Far , the
system will warn the driver of a possible accident with
the vehicle in front when the latter is at a greater distance,
giving you the chance to act on the brakes in a more
limited and gradual. This setting gives the driver the
maximum possible time of reaction to prevent a possible
accident.
