Active Braking events within an ignition cycle,
the Active Braking portion of FCW will be
deactivated until the next ignition cycle.
•
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 un-
necessary warnings to the surroundings.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not in-
tended 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.
Turning FCW On Or Off
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.
The Forward Collision activation/deactivation is
located in
" Uconnect Settings " under " Safety
And Driving Assistance " . Forward Collision can
be checked or unchecked.
When FCW is selected off, there will be an
" FCW OFF " icon that appears in the instrument
cluster display.
Changing the FCW status to off prevents the
system from warning you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you.
NOTE:
FCW system is temporarily turned off when ESC
Full-Off Mode is active.
Changing FCW And Active Braking Status
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking settings
are programmable through the Uconnect Sys-
tem. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multime-
dia” for further information.
The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting
and the Active Braking is set to “on”; this allows
the system to warn you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you when you are
farther away and it applies limited braking. This
gives you the most reaction time to avoid a
possible collision.
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting,
allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you when you
are much closer. This setting provides less
reaction time than the “Far” setting, which allows
for a more dynamic driving experience.
NOTE:
•
The system will NOT retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut
down. The system will reset to default setting
when the vehicle is restarted.
•
FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such
as overhead objects, ground reflections, ob-
jects 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.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display reads “ACC/
FCW Limited Functionality” or “ACC/FCW Lim-
ited Functionality Clean Front Windshield” mo-
mentarily, there may be a condition that limits
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:
•
ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required
•
Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system fault.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under nor-
mal conditions, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.
