NOTE:
Vehicle must be taken to the nearest autho-
rized dealer for service.
General Information
This vehicle has systems that operate on
radio frequency that comply with Part 15 of
the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) rules and with Industry Canada Stan-
dards RSS- GEN/210/220/310.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. The device may not cause harmful
interference.
2. The device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modifications to any of these
systems by other than an authorized service
facility could void authorization to use this
equipment.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With
Mitigation Operation — 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
forward looking sensors as well as the Elec-
tronic Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate
the probability of a forward collision. When
the system determines that a forward colli-
sion is probable, the driver will be provided
with audible and visual warnings and may
provide a 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 miti-
gate the potential forward collision. If the
driver reacts to the warnings by braking and
the system determines that the driver in-
tends to avoid the collision by braking but
has not applied sufficient brake force, the
system will compensate and provide addi-
tional brake force as required.
Vehicles With A Manual Transmission : After
the end of the intervention of automatic brak-
ing, the engine could stall, unless the driver
can depress the clutch pedal.
Vehicles With Automatic Transmission : After
the end of the intervention of automatic brak-
ing, the transmission may remain in last gear
stored: therefore the vehicle could lurch for-
ward, once the brakes release a few seconds
later. If the Forward Collision Warning with
Mitigation event stops the vehicle com-
pletely, the system will hold the vehicle at
standstill for two seconds and then release
the brakes.
If a Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation
event begins at a speed below 20 mph
(32 km/h), the system may provide the maxi-
mum braking possible to mitigate the poten-
tial forward collision. If the Forward Collision
