mitigate the potential forward collision. If the driver
reacts to the warnings by braking and the system deter-
mines that the driver intends to avoid the collision by
braking but has not applied sufficient brake force, the
system will compensate and provide additional brake
force as required.
If a FCW with Mitigation event begins at a speed below
26 mph (42 km/h), the system may provide the maxi-
mum braking possible to mitigate the potential forward
collision. Vehicles With Automatic Transmission: After
the end of the intervention of automatic braking, the
transmission may remain in last gear stored — therefore
the vehicle could lurch forward, 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.
When the system determines a collision with the
vehicle in front of you is no longer probable, the
warning message will be deactivated.
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 guardrails 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 the Active Braking portion of
FCW will be deactivated for the first 20 seconds
from braking actuation.
•
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 unnecessary warnings to
the surroundings.
•
FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such as
overhead objects, ground reflections, objects not in
the path of the vehicle, stationary objects that are
far away, oncoming traffic, or leading vehicles with
the same or higher rate of speed.
•
FCW will be disabled with the unavailable screens
page 269.
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 respon-
sibility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle
via braking and steering. Failure to follow this warning
could lead to serious injury or death.
Turning FCW On Or Off
The FCW information is located in the Uconnect display
under Automatic Emergency Braking in the control set-
tings
page 136.
NOTE:
•
Changing the FCW status to “Off” deactivates the
system, so no warning or active braking will be avail-
able in case of a possible collision.
•
Changing the FCW status to “Only Warning” pre-
vents the system from providing limited active brak-
ing, or additional brake support if the driver is not
braking adequately in the event of a potential frontal
collision, but maintains the audible and visual
warnings.
•
When FCW status is set to “Warning and Braking”,
this allows the system to warn the driver of a pos-
sible collision with the vehicle in front using audible/
visual warnings and it applies autonomous braking.
•
The FCW system state is kept in memory from one
ignition position to the next. If the system is turned
off, it will maintain its status in the next key cycle.
FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking status are pro-
grammable through the Uconnect system
page 136.
•
Far
○
When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the “Far”
setting and the system status is “Only Warning”,
this allows the system to warn the driver of a pos-
sible more distant collision with the vehicle in
front using audible/visual warnings.
○
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent
warnings may prefer this setting.
