240 SAFETY
NOTE:
• The minimum speed for FCW activation is 3 mph (
5 km/h).
• The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects other than
vehicl
es such as guard rails or sign posts based on the
course prediction. This is expected and is a part of normal
FCW activation and functionality.
• 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 deac
-
tivated until the next Key Cycle.
• T
he FCW system is intended for on-road use only. If the
vehicl
e is taken off-road, the FCW system should be deac-
tivated to prevent unnecessary warnings to the surround-
ings.
• FC
W may not react to irrelevant objects such as overhead
object
s, ground reflections, objects not in the path of the
vehicle, 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
screen
s.
Turning FCW On or Off
The FCW button is located in the Uconnect display in the
control
settings. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi-
media” in the Owner's Manual for further information.
• T
o 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:
• W
hen 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 dr
iver 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.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to
avoid a c
ollision 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.
