•
When the FCW is “off”, this 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 di splay.
•
When FCW status is set to “Only Warning”, this pre-
vents 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.
•
When FCW status is set to “Warning and Braking”,
this allows the system to warn the driver of a pos-
sible collision with the vehicle in front using audible/
visual warnings and it applies autonomous braking.
•
The system will r et ain the last setting selected by
the driver after ignition shutdown.
FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking status are pro-
grammable through the Uconne ct system
page 201.
•
Far
○ When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the “Far”
setting, this allows the system to warn the driver
of a possible more distant collision with the
vehicle in front using audible/visual warnings.
○ More cautious drivers that do not mind fr equent
warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
The “Far” setting may result in a greater number of
FCW possible collisi on warnings experienced.
•
Medium
○ When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the
“Medium” setting, this allows the system to warn
the driver of a possible collision with the vehicle
in front using aud ible/vi sual warnings.
•
Near
○ When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the “Near”
setting, this allows the system to warn the driver
of a possible closer collisio n with the vehicle in
front using audible/visual warnings.
○ This setting provides less reaction time than the
“Far” and “Medium” settings, which allows for a
more dynamic driving experience.
○ More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to
avoid frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
The “Near” sett ing may result in a lesser number of
FCW possible collisi on warnings experienced.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instru ment cluster displays “ACC/FCW Limited
Functionality” or “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Clean
Front Wi ndshi eld” momentarily, the re may be a condi-
tion that li mit s FCW functionality. Although the vehicle
is still dri vable under normal conditions, the active
braking may not be fully available. Once the condition
that limited the system performance is no longer pres-
ent, the system will return to its full performance state.
If the problem persists, see an authorized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system tu rns off, and the instrument cluster
displays:
•
ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required
•
Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an i nternal system fault.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under normal condi-
tions, have the system checked by an authorize d
dealer.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
The Tire Pressu re Monitoring System (TPMS) wi ll warn
the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle
recommended cold placard pressure.
NOTE:
The alert warning on the cluster will stay on until the
tire is i nflated to the placard pressure.
The tire pressu re will vary with temperature by approxi-
mately 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means
that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire
pressure will d e cre ase . Tire pressure should always be set
based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as
the tire pre ssur e after the vehicle has not been driven for
at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)
after a three hour period. The cold tire inflation pressure
must not exceed the maximum inflation pressure molded
into the tire sidewall. The tire pressure will also increase
as the vehicle is driven. This is normal and there should
be no adjustment for this increased pressure.
See page 320 on how to properly inflate the vehi-
cle’s tires.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if
the tire pressure falls below the low-pressure warning
limit for any reason, including low temperature ef fects
and natural pre ssu re loss through the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire
pressure as long as the condition exists, a nd will not
turn off until the tire pressure is at or a bove the recom-
mended cold placard pressure. Once the low tire pres-
sure warning (Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light) illuminates, you must increase the tire pressure
to the recommended cold placard pressure in order for
the TPMS Warning Light to turn off.
