Forward Collision Warning (Fcw) With Mitigation - If Equipped; Forward Collision Warning (Fcw) With Mitigation Operation - Jeep 2015 Cherokee Operating Information Manual

• The braking temperature exceeds normal
range (overheated).
• The shift lever/gear selector is removed from
the Drive position.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the
RES button and release. Resume can be used
at any speed above 19 mph (30 km/h).
To Turn Off
The system will turn off and erase the set speed
in memory if:
• The Normal (Fixed Speed) Electronic Speed
Control ON/OFF button is pressed.
• The ignition is turned off.
• You engage Four-Wheel Drive Low.
• The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) On/Off
button is pressed.
FORWARD COLLISION
WARNING (FCW) WITH
MITIGATION — IF EQUIPPED
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
With Mitigation Operation
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
with mitigation provides the driver with audible
warnings, visual warnings (within the EVIC/
DID), and may apply a brake jerk to warn the
driver when it detects a potential frontal colli-
sion. The warnings and limited braking are
intended to provide the driver with enough time
to react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the for-
ward looking sensors as well as the Elec-
tronic Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate
the probability of a forward collision. When
the system determines that a forward colli-
sion is probable, the driver will be provided
with audible and visual warnings and may
provide a brake jerk warning.
If the driver does not take action based upon
these progressive warnings, then the system
will provide a limited 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 determines
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.
If a Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation
event begins at a speed below 20 mph
(32 km/h), the system may provide the maxi-
mum braking possible to mitigate the potential
forward collision. If the Forward Collision Warn-
ing with Mitigation event stops the vehicle com-
pletely, the system will hold the vehicle at stand-
still for two seconds and then release the
brakes.
