SAFETY 115
FCW Settings
The Forward Collision menu setting is located in
the Uconnect settings.
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is “Full On,” this
allows the system to provide warning and auton-
omous braking in the event of a potential frontal
collision.
Changing the FCW status to “Warning Only”
prevents the system from providing
autonomous braking, or additional brake
support if the driver is not braking adequately in
the event of a potential frontal collision.
Changing the FCW status to off deactivates the
system, so no warning or autonomous braking
will be available in case of a possible collision.
NOTE:
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 Sensitivity And Operating
Status
The FCW Sensitivity And Operation Settings are
programmable through the Uconnect System.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
for further information.
The default status of FCW is the “Medium”
setting and the FCW is in the “Full On” setting.
This allows the system to warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front using
audible/visual warnings and it applies
autonomous braking.
Changing the FCW status to the “Far” setting
allows the system to warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front using
audible/visual warning when the latter is at a
farther distance than in the "Medium" setting.
This provides the most reaction time to avoid a
possible collision.
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting,
allows the system to warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front when
the vehicle in the front is much closer. This
setting provides less reaction time than the
“Far” and “Medium” settings, which allows for a
more dynamic driving experience.
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 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.
If FCW is disabled, unavailable screens will
be displayed.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display reads “FCW
Limited Functionality” or “FCW Limited
Functionality Clean Front Windshield”
momentarily, there may be a condition that
limits FCW functionality. Although the vehicle is
still driveable under normal conditions, the
active braking may not be fully available. Once
the condition that limited the system
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.
