NOTE:
•
The minimum speed for FCW activation is 5 mph
(10 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.
•
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 warning
could lead to serious injury or death.
Turning FCW On Or Off
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.
The Forward Collision activation/deactivation is located
in "Uconnect Settings" under "Safety And Driving Assis-
tance". Forward Collision can be checked or unchecked.
When FCW is selected off, there will be an "FCW OFF"
icon that appears in the instrument cluster display.
Changing the FCW status to off prevents the system
from warning you of a possible collision with the vehicle
in front of you.
NOTE:
The FCW system’s default state is on. The FCW system
state is kept in memory from one ignition cycle to the
next. If the system is turned off, it will remain off when
the vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW Status
The FCW Sensitivity settings are programmable through
the Uconnect system
page 95.
The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting in the
“On” setting. This allows the system to warn you of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front of you when
you are farther away and it applies limited braking. This
gives you the most reaction time to avoid a possible
collision.
NOTE:
The “Far” setting may result in a greater number of FCW
possible collision warnings experienced.
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows
the system to warn you of a possible collision with the
vehicle in front of you when you are much closer. This
setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” set-
ting, which allows for a more dynamic driving
experience.
NOTE:
The “Near” setting may result in a lesser number of
FCW possible collision warnings experienced.
NOTE:
•
The system will retain the last setting selected by
the driver after ignition shut down.
•
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 like ACC, with the unavailable
screens.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster dis-
play reads:
•
ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required
•
Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system fault. Although
the vehicle is still drivable under normal conditions, have
the system checked by an authorized dealer.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn
the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle
recommended cold placard pressure.
The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about
1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that
when the outside temperature decreases, the tire pres-
sure will decrease. Tire pressure should always be set
based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as
the tire pressure after the vehicle has not been driven
for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) after a three hour period. The cold tire infla-
tion pressure must not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure molded into the tire sidewall. The tire pressure
will also increase as the vehicle is driven — this is nor-
mal and there should be no adjustment for this
increased pressure.
