SAFETY 165
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.
Turning FCW On Or Off
The Forward Collision menu setting is located in
the Uconnect settings.
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” deactivates
the system, so no warning or active braking will
be available in case of a possible collision.
NOTE:
The FCW system state is kept in memory from
one key cycle to the next. If the system is
turned off, it will remain off when the vehicle
is restarted.
FCW can work in conjunction with the
KeySense function of the vehicle (if
equipped). Refer to “KeySense Cluster
Messages" in “Getting To Know Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information.
FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking status
are programmable through the Uconnect
System. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
The default sensitivity of FCW is the “Medium”
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 warnings and it
applies autonomous braking.
Changing the FCW status to “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 "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 distance between 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 experi-
ence.
NOTE:
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 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.
The system will retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut
down.
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.
