Turning FCW On Or Off
The forward collision button is located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect display.
• To turn the FCW system off, push the for-
ward collision button once to turn the sys-
tem OFF.
• To turn the FCW system back on, push the
forward collision button again to turn the
system on.
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.
• Changing the FCW status to “off” prevents
the system from warning you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you. If
FCW is set to off, “FCW OFF” will appear in
the instrument cluster display.
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has two settings and can be
changed within the Uconnect System
Screen:
• Far
• Near
Far
The far setting provides warnings for poten-
tial collisions more distant in front of the
vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most
reaction time to avoid a collision.
More cautious drivers that do not mind fre-
quent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Near
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” set-
ting, allows the system to warn you of a
potential frontal collision when you are much
closer.
This setting provides less reaction time than
the “Far” setting, which allows for a more
dynamic driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want
to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this
setting.
NOTE:
Changing the Active Braking status to off
prevents the system from providing autono-
mous braking, or additional brake support if
the driver is not braking adequately in the
event of a potential frontal collision. Active
braking can be turned off in the Uconnect
controls settings.
Refer to your Owner's Manual for further
information.
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 ve-
hicle via braking and steering. Failure to
follow this warning could lead to serious
injury or death.
