SAFETY 113
FCW Message
When the system determines a collision with
the vehicle in front of you is no longer probable,
the warning message will be deactivated.
NOTE:
The minimum speed for FCW activation is
3 mph (5 km/h).
The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects
other than vehicles such as guard rails or
sign posts based on the course prediction.
This is expected and is a part of normal FCW
activation and functionality.
The FCW system is intended for on-road use
only. If the vehicle is taken off-road, the FCW
system should be deactivated to prevent
unnecessary warnings to the surroundings.
If the vehicle enters 4L Range, the FCW
system will be automatically deactivated.
The active braking is disabled when a trailer
is connected with a Mopar Trailer Towing
system. If the vehicle is equipped with an
aftermarket system, it is recommended that
the Active Braking is turned off manually.
Turning FCW On Or Off
The Forward Collision menu setting is located in
the Uconnect settings.
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is “Warning + Active
Braking,” this allows the system to warn you of
a possible collision with the vehicle in front of
you and enable the active braking.
Changing the FCW status to “Off” deactivates
the system, so no warning or active braking
will be available in case of a possible collision
Changing the FCW status to “Only warning”
prevents 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, but
maintains the audible and visual warnings.
Changing the status of the system is only
possible with the vehicle at a complete stop.
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.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not
intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor
can FCW detect every type of potential colli-
sion. The driver has the responsibility to avoid
a collision by controlling the vehicle via brak-
ing and steering. Failure to follow this warning
could lead to serious injury or death.
