NOTE:
The minimum speed for FCW activation is
3 mph (5 km/h).
The FCW alerts may be triggered on
objects other than vehicles such as guard
rails or sign posts based on the course
prediction. This is expected and is a part
of normal FCW activation and function
-
ality.
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.
FCW may not react to irrelevant objects
such as overhead objects, ground reflec-
tions, objects not in the path of the
v
ehicle,
stationary objects that are far
away, oncoming traffic, or leading vehicles
with the same or higher rate of speed.
“FCW will be disabled like ACC, with the
unavailable screens.
Turning FCW On or Off
The FCW button is located in the Uconnect
display in the control settings. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner's Manual for further information.
To turn the FCW system on, press the
forward collision button once to turn the
system on.
To turn the FCW system off, press the
forward collision button once to turn the
system off.
NOTE:
When the FCW is “on”, this allows the
system to warn the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front.
When the FCW is “off” prevents the
system from warning the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front.
If the FCW is set to “off”, “FCW OFF" will
be displayed in the instrument cluster
display.
When FCW status is set 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.
When FCW status is set to “Warning and
Braking” this allows the system to warn
the driver of a possible collision with the
vehicle in front using audible/visual warn
-
ings and it applies autonomous braking.
The system will retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut-
down.
FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity
The FCW sensitivity and Active Braking
status are programmable through the Ucon-
nect System. Refer to “Uconnect Settings”
i
n “Multi
media” in the Owner's Manual for
further information.
Far
When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the
“Far” setting and the system status is
“Warning and Braking”, this allows the
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 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.
