• It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To prevent such
misuse of the system, after four 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
surroundings.
WARNING!
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 respon-
sibility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle
via braking and steering. Failure to follow this warn-
ing could lead to serious injury or death.
FCW Settings
The forward collision menu setting is located in the
Uconnect settings.
NOTE: The default status of FCW is “Full On,” this allows
the system to provide warning and autonomous braking in
the event of a potential frontal collision.
Changing the FCW status to “Warning Only” prevents the
system from providing autonomous braking, or additional
brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in the
event of a potential frontal collision.
Changing the FCW status to off deactivates the system, so
no warning or autonomous braking will be available in
case of a possible collision
NOTE: The FCW system state is kept in memory from one
ignition cycle to the next. If the system is turned off, it will
remain off when the vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW Sensitivity And Operating Status
The FCW Sensitivity And Operation Settings are program-
mable through the Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
The default status of FCW is the “Medium” setting and the
FCW is in the “Full On” setting. This allows the system to
warn the driver of a possible collision with the vehicle in
front using audible/visual warnings and it applies autono-
mous braking.
