154 Driving and Operating
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is on the steering
wheel. Press
[ to set the FCA timing to
far, medium, or near, or on some vehicles,
Off. The first button press shows the current
setting on the DIC. Additional button presses
will change this setting. The chosen setting
will remain until it is changed. The timing of
alerts will vary based on vehicle speed. The
faster the vehicle speed, the farther away
the alert will occur. Consider traffic and
weather conditions when selecting the alert
timing. The range of selectable alert timings
may not be appropriate for all drivers and
driving conditions.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary alerts to
turning vehicles, vehicles in other lanes,
objects that are not vehicles, or shadows.
These alerts are normal operation and the
vehicle does not need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to operate
properly, this may correct the issue:
.
Clean the outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror.
.
Clean the entire front of the vehicle.
.
Clean the headlamps.
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers with
avoiding crashes that occur with moving
vehicles in the side blind zone (or spot)
areas. The SBZA warning display will light
up in the corresponding outside side mirror
and will flash if the turn signal is on.
{
Warning
SBZA does not alert the driver to vehicles
rapidly approaching outside of the side
blind zones, pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. It may not provide alerts
when changing lanes under all driving
conditions. Failure to use proper care
when changing lanes may result in injury,
death, or vehicle damage. Before making
a lane change, always check mirrors,
glance over your shoulder, and use the
turn signals.
