Chrysler PACIFICA 2017 - Forward Collision Warning (Fcw)

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible warnings and
visual warnings within the instrument cluster display, to warn the driver when it detects a potential
frontal collision. The warnings 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 Electronic Brake
Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward collision. When the system determines
that a forward collision is probable, the driver will be provided with audible and visual warnings.
Turning FCW On Or Off
The forward collision button is located in the Uconnect display in the controls settings.
• To turn the FCW system off, press the forward collision button once to turn the system off.
• To turn the FCW system back on, press the forward collision button again to turn the system
on.
NOTE:
• The default status of FCW is “on”, this allows the system to warn you of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front of you.
• Changing the FCW status to “off” prevents the system from warning you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you. If FCW is set to “off”, “FCW OFF” will be displayed
in the instrument cluster display.
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the Uconnect System Screen:
•Far
• Medium
• Near
Far
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.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Medium
The default status of FCW is the “Medium” setting and the Active Braking is in the “on” setting.
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.
