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.
Turning FCW On Or Off
The Forward Collision menu setting is located in the
Uconnect settings.
NOTE: The default status of FCW is “Warning + Active
Braking,” this allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you and enable the
active braking.
• Changing the FCW status to “Off” deactivates the sys-
tem, so no warning or active braking will be available in
case of a possible collision
• 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 maintains the audible and visual warnings.
Changing the status of the system is only possible with the
vehicle at a complete stop.
NOTE: The FCW system state is not kept in memory from
one ignition position to the next. If the system is turned off,
it will turn on when the vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW Sensitivity
By changing the settings on the menu of the Uconnect
system, you can change the sensitivity of the system by
choosing one of the following three options: ⬙Near⬙, ⬙Me-
dium⬙ or ⬙Far⬙. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multime-
dia” for further information.
The default option is ⬙Medium⬙. This setting provides that
the system notify the driver of a possible accident with the
vehicle ahead of it when the latter is at a standard distance,
intermediate between the other two possible settings.
By setting the sensitivity of the system to ⬙Far⬙, the system
will warn the driver of a possible accident with the vehicle
in front when the latter is at a greater distance, giving you
the chance to act on the brakes in a more limited and
gradual. This setting gives the driver the maximum pos-
sible time of reaction to prevent a possible accident.
