• It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To prevent such
misuse of the system, after four Active Braking events
within a key cycle, the Active Braking portion of FCW
will be deactivated until the next key cycle.
• 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.
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 warn-
ing could lead to serious injury or death.
Turning FCW On Or Off
The forward collision menu setting is located in the
Uconnect settings.
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” deactivates the system,
so no warning or active braking will be available in case of
a possible collision
NOTE:
• The FCW system state is kept in memory from one key
cycle to the next. If the system is turned off, it will
remain off when the vehicle is restarted.
• FCW can work in conjunction with the KeySense func-
tion of the vehicle if equipped. Refer to “KeySense
Features⬙ in “Getting To Know Your Vehicle” for further
information.
Changing FCW And Active Braking Status
The FCW Sensitivity And Active Braking Settings are
programmable through the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further informa-
tion.
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.
