Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
provides the driver with audible and visual warn-
ings within the instrument cluster display to
warn the driver when it detects a potential
frontal collision. The warnings are intended to
provide the driver with enough time to react,
avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the forward
looking sensors as well as the Electronic Brake
Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of
a forward collision. When the system deter-
mines that a forward collision is probable, the
driver will be provided with audible and visual
warnings.
Changing FCW System Status
The Forward Collision W arning settings are lo-
cated in the Uconnect display in the controls
settings.
NOTE:
• The default sensitivity of FCW is the “Me-
dium” setting and the system status is “W arn-
ing & Braking”. This allows the system to warn
the driver of a possible collision with the
vehicle in front using audible/visual warnings
and it applies autonomous braking.
• 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 main-
tains the audible and visual warnings.
• Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents
the system from providing autonomous brak-
ing, or additional brake support if the driver is
not braking adequately in the event of a po-
tential frontal collision. If FCW is set to “Off”,
“FCW OFF” will appear in the instrument
cluster display.
Changing FCW Sensitivity
The FCW feature has three settings and can be
changed within the Uconnect System Screen:
• Far
• Medium
• Near
Far
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.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent
warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Medium
The default sensitivity of FCW is the “Medium”
setting and the system status is “W arning &
Braking”. This allows the system to warn the
driver of a possible collision with the vehicle in
front using audible/visual warnings and it ap-
plies autonomous braking.
