Dodge Durango 2015, Operating Information Manual

Page: 127 / 738

NOTE:
The FCW system state is kept in memory
from one ignition cycle to the next. If the
system is turned OFF, it will remain off when
the vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW And Active Braking
Status
The FCW Sensitivity And Active Braking Set-
tings are programmable through the Uconnect®
System. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting
and the Active Braking is the “On” setting, 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 al-
lows for a more dynamic driving experience.
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 reflec-
tions, objects not in the path of the car,
stationary objects that are far away, on-
coming 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 DID displays “ACC/FCW Limited Func-
tionality” or “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality
Clean Front Windshield” momentarily, there
may be a condition that limits FCW functionality.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under nor-
mal 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 autho-
rized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the DID displays:
•
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.
