Chrysler 2017 Pacifica, Owner'S Manual, Page: 294 / 828

The default status of FCW is the “Medium” setting and
the Active Braking is in the “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 “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 experience.
Changing the Active Braking status to “Off” prevents the
system from providing autonomous braking, or addi-
tional brake support if the driver is not braking ad-
equately in the event of a potential frontal collision.
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.
•
FCW will be disabled like ACC, with the unavailable
screens.
