Turning Active Braking On Or Off - Jeep 2016 CHEROKEE User Manual

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Far
The default status of FCW is the "Far" setting.
The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of the
vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to avoid a collision.
This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration) recommendations.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Near
Changing the FCW status to the "Near" setting, allows the system to warn you of a
potential frontal collision when you are much closer.
This setting provides less reaction time than the "Far" setting, which allows for a
more dynamic driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer
this setting.
Off
Changing the FCW status to "Off" prevents the system from warning you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you.

Turning Active Braking ON Or OFF

The Active Braking feature has two settings and can be changed within the Uconnect
System Screen:
• On
• Off
Changing the Active Braking status to "Off" prevents the system from providing
limited autonomous braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking
adequately in the event of a potential frontal collision.
NOTE:
If FCW is set to "Off," "FCW OFF" will be displayed in the EVIC/DID.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
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 vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to
follow this warning could lead to serious injury or death.
