Changing FCW System Status
The Forward Collision Warning settings are
located in the Uconnect display in the con-
trols settings.
NOTE:
• The default sensitivity of FCW is the “Me-
dium” setting and the system status is
“Warning & Braking”. This allows the sys-
tem to warn the driver of a possible colli-
sion with the vehicle in front using audible/
visual warnings and it applies autonomous
braking.
• Changing the FCW status to “Only Warn-
ing” prevents the system from providing
limited active braking, or additional brake
support if the driver is not braking ad-
equately in the event of a potential frontal
collision, but maintains the audible and
visual warnings.
• Changing the FCW status to “Off” 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. If FCW is set
to “Off”, “FCW OFF” will appear in the
instrument cluster display.
Changing FCW Sensitivity
The FCW feature has three settings and can
be changed within the Uconnect System
Screen:
• Far
• Medium
• 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.
Medium
The default sensitivity of FCW is the “Me-
dium” setting and the system status is
“Warning & Braking”. This allows the system
to warn the driver of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front using audible/visual warn-
ings and it applies autonomous braking.
Near
Changing the FCW sensitivity to the “Near”
setting, 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.
Refer to your Owner's Manual for further
details.
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.
