SAFETY 121
Turning FCW On Or Off
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is on; this allows the
system to warn you of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front of you.
The Forward Collision activation/deactivation is
located in "Uconnect Settings" under "Safety
And Driving Assistance". Forward Collision can
be checked or unchecked.
When FCW is selected off, there will be an "FCW
OFF" icon that appears in the instrument cluster
display.
Changing the FCW status to off prevents the
system from warning you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you.
NOTE:
The FCW system’s default state is on. The FCW
system state is kept in memory from one igni-
tion cycle to the next. If the system is turned
OFF, it will remain off when the vehicle is
restarted.
NOTE:
FCW system is temporarily turned off when ESC
“Full Off” mode is active.
Changing FCW And Active Braking Status
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking settings
are programmable through the Uconnect
System. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi-
media” for further information.
The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting
and the Active Braking is set to “on”; this allows
the system to warn you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you when you are
farther away and it applies limited braking. This
gives you the most reaction time to avoid a
possible collision.
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting,
allows the system to warn you of a possible colli-
sion with the vehicle in front of you when you
are much closer. This setting provides less reac-
tion time than the “Far” setting, which allows for
a more dynamic driving experience.
NOTE:
The system will retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut
down.
FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such
as overhead objects, 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 disables in the same manner as ACC,
and will display a screen indicating that the
feature is unavailable when it has been
disabled.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display reads “ACC/
FCW Limited Functionality” or “ACC/FCW
Limited Functionality Clean Front Windshield”
momentarily, there may be a condition that
limits FCW functionality. Although the vehicle is
still drivable under normal conditions, the active
braking may not be fully available. Once the
condition that limited the system performance
is no longer present, the system will return to its
full performance state. If the problem persists,
see an authorized dealer.
