Warning
FCA does not provide a warning
to help avoid a crash, unless it
detects a vehicle. FCA may not
detect a vehicle ahead if the FCA
sensor is blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice, or if the windscreen is
damaged. It may also not detect a
vehicle on winding or hilly roads,
or in conditions that can limit
visibility such as fog, rain,
or snow, or if the headlamps or
windscreen are not cleaned or in
proper condition. Keep the
windscreen, headlamps, and FCA
sensors clean and in good repair.
Driver Alert
The vehicle ahead indicator will
change to amber when the distance
to the preceding vehicle becomes to
small, or when approaching the
vehicle too rapidly.
Collision Alert
When your vehicle approaches
another detected vehicle too rapidly,
the red FCA display will flash on the
windscreen. Also, eight rapid
high-pitched beeps will sound from
the front, or both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat will pulse five times.
When this Collision Alert occurs, the
brake system may prepare for driver
braking to occur more rapidly which
can cause a brief, mild deceleration.
Continue to apply the brake pedal
as needed. Cruise control may be
disengaged when the Collision Alert
occurs.
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is on the
steering wheel. Press
[
to set the
FCA timing to Far, Medium, or Near,
or on some vehicles, Off.
The first button press shows the
current setting in the DIC. Additional
button presses will change this
setting. The chosen setting will
remain until it is changed.
The timing of the alert will vary
based on vehicle speed. The faster
the vehicle speed, the further away
the alert will occur.
Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the alert
timing. The range of selectable alert
timings may not be appropriate for
all drivers and driving conditions.
Following Distance Indicator
The following distance to a moving
vehicle ahead in your path is
indicated in following time in

Centre (DIC). See
