168 SAFETY
When the system determines a collision with the vehicle in
front of you is no longer probable, the warning message
will be deactivated
Ú page 284.
NOTE:
The minimum speed for FCW activation is 5 mph
(10 km/h).
The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects other than
vehicles such as guardrails or sign posts based on the
course prediction. This is expected and is a part of
normal FCW activation and functionality.
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.
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 ignition cycle to the next.
If the system is turned off, it will remain off when the
vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW Status
The FCW Sensitivity settings are programmable through
the Uconnect system
Ú page 107.
The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting in the “On”
setting. 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.
NOTE:
The “Far” setting may result in a greater number of FCW
possible collision warnings experienced.
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows the
system to warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle
in front of you when you are much closer. This setting
provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which
allows for a more dynamic driving experience.
NOTE:
The “Near” setting may result in a lesser number of FCW
possible collision warnings experienced.
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 over-
head 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.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster display
reads:
ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required
Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system fault. Although
the vehicle is still drivable under normal conditions, have
the system checked by an authorized dealer.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn the
driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle
recommended cold placard pressure.
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.
