NOTE:
The FCW system state is not kept in memory
from one ignition position to the next. If the
system is turned off, it will turn on when the
vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW Sensitivity
By changing the settings on the menu of the
Uconnect system, you can change the sensi-
tivity of the system by choosing one of the
following three options: "Near", "Medium" or
"Far". Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Mul-
timedia” in the Owner’s Manual for further
information.
The default option is "Medium". This setting
provides that the system notify the driver of a
possible accident with the vehicle ahead of it
when the latter is at a standard distance,
intermediate between the other two possible
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. This setting gives the
driver the maximum possible time of reaction
to prevent a possible accident.
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, while a more dynamic
driving of the vehicle.
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” mo-
mentarily, there may be a condition that lim-
its 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 your authorized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument
cluster display reads:
• FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system
fault. Although the vehicle is still drivable
under normal conditions, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
“FCW Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked”
Warning
The “FCW Front Radar Sensor Temporarily
Blocked” warning will display when condi-
tions temporarily limit system performance.
This most often occurs at times of poor vis-
ibility, such as in snow or heavy rain. The
system may also become temporarily blinded
due to obstructions, such as mud, dirt or ice.
In these cases, the instrument cluster display
will read “FCW Front Radar Sensor Temporar-
ily Blocked” and the system will deactivate.
