Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will
be no visual or audible alerts from either the
BSM or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current oper-
ating mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each
time the vehicle is started the previously
stored mode will be recalled and used.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With
Mitigation — If Equipped
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
with mitigation provides the driver with au-
dible warnings, visual warnings (within the
instrument cluster display), and may apply a
brake jerk to warn the driver when it detects a
potential frontal collision. The warnings and
limited braking are intended to provide the
driver with enough time to react, avoid or
mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the for-
ward looking sensors as well as the Electronic
Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the prob-
ability of a forward collision. When the sys-
tem determines that a forward collision is
probable, the driver will be provided with
audible and visual warnings as well as a
possible brake jerk warning.
If the driver does not take action based upon
these progressive warnings, then the system
will provide a limited level of active braking to
help slow the vehicle and mitigate the poten-
tial forward collision. If the driver reacts to
the warnings by braking and the system de-
termines that the driver intends to avoid the
collision by braking but has not applied suf-
ficient brake force, the system will compen-
sate and provide additional brake force as
required.
If a FCW with Mitigation event begins at a
speed below 32 mph (52 km/h), the system
may provide the maximum braking possible
to mitigate the potential forward collision. If
the Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation
event stops the vehicle completely, the sys-
tem will hold the vehicle at standstill for two
seconds and then release the brakes.
When the system determines a collision with
the vehicle in front of you is no longer prob-
able, the warning message will be deacti-
vated.
NOTE:
• The minimum speed for FCW activation is
3 mph (5 km/h).
• The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects
other than vehicles such as guard rails or
sign posts based on the course prediction.
This is expected and is a part of normal
FCW activation and functionality.
• It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To
prevent such misuse of the system, after
four Active Braking events within a key
cycle, the Active Braking portion of FCW
will be deactivated until the next key 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.
