SAFETY 233
If the vehicle enters 4WD Low, the FCW system
will be automatically deactivated.
The active braking is disabled when a trailer is
connected with a Mopar® Trailer Towing
system. If the vehicle is equipped with an after
-
market system, it is recommended that the
Active
Braking is turned off manually
Ú page 349.
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
Brakin
g,” 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 system, 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 can be done at
any time in the vehicle's head unit.
NOTE:
When the system is turned off, the FCW system
state
will reset.
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", "Medium" or "Far"
Ú page 133.
The default option is "Medium". This setting allows
t
he system to warn the driver of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front when it is at a standard
distance, intermediate between the “Near” and
“Far” 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 way. This
setting gives the driver the maximum possible time
of reaction to prevent a possible accident.
NOTE:
The “Far” setting may result in a greater number of
FCW pos
sible collision warnings experienced.
By changing the option to "Near", the system will
warn the driver of a possible accident with the
vehicle ahead of it when the latter is a reduced
distance. This setting offers a reaction time to the
driver lower than the settings "Medium" and "Far",
in the case of a potential accident, providing a
more dynamic driving of the vehicle.
NOTE:
The “Near” setting may result in a lesser number of
FCW pos
sible collision warnings experienced.
The setting of the sensitivity of the system is
maintained in memory when the engine is
switched off.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display reads “FCW
Limited Functionality” or “FCW Limited
Functionality Wipe 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.
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.
