Turning FCW On or Off
The FCW button is located in the Uconnect
display in the control settings. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner's Manual for further information.

To turn the FCW system on, press the forward
collision button once to turn the system on.

To turn the FCW system off, press the forward
collision button once to turn the system off.
NOTE:

When the FCW is “on”, this allows the system
to warn the driver of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front.

When the FCW is “off” prevents the system
from warning the driver of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front. If the FCW is set to
“off”, “FCW OFF" will be displayed in the
instrument cluster display.

When FCW status is set to “Only Warning”
prevents the system from providing limited
active braking, or additional brake support if
the driver is not braking adequately in the
event of a potential frontal collision.

When FCW status is set to “Warning and
Braking” this allows the system to warn the
driver of a possible collision with the vehicle
in front using audible/visual warnings and it
applies autonomous braking.

The system will retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut -
down.
FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity

are programmable through the Uconnect
System. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” in the Owner's Manual for further
information.

Far

When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the
“Far” setting and the system status is
“Warning and Braking”, this allows the
system to warn the driver of a possible
more distant collisions with the vehicle in
front using audible/visual warnings.

More cautious drivers that do not mind
frequent warnings may prefer this setting.

Medium

When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the
“Medium” setting and the system status
is “Warning and Braking”, this allows the
system to warn the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front using
audible/visual warnings.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not
intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor
can FCW detect every type of potential
collision. The driver has the responsibility to
avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via
braking and steering. Failure to follow this
warning could lead to serious injury or death.
