192 SAFETY
• 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.
• The FCW system is intended for on-road use only. If the
vehicle is taken off-road, the FCW system should be deac-
tivated to prevent unnecessary warnings to the surround-
ings.
• 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 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 “Multi-
media” in the Owner's Manual for further information.
• To turn the FCW system on, press the forward collision
button once.
• To turn the FCW system off, press the forward collision
button once.
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 addi-
tional brake support if the driver is not braking adequately
in the event of a potential frontal collision.
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.
