Changing FCW Status
• The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the Uconnect ®
System Screen :
• Far
• Near
• Off
NOTE:
The FCW and active braking settings can only be changed when the vehicle is in
PARK.
Far
• The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting.
• The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of
the vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to avoid a collision.
• This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration) recommendations.
• More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Near
• Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows the system to warn you of
a potential frontal collision when you are much closer.
• This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which allows for a
more dynamic driving experience.
• More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may
prefer this setting.
Off
• Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front of you.
Turning Active Braking ON Or OFF
• The Active Braking feature has two settings and can be changed within the
Uconnect
®
System Screen :
• On
• Off
• Changing the Active Braking status to “Off” prevents the system from providing
limited autonomous braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking
adequately in the event of a potential frontal collision.
