• 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 un-
necessary warnings to the surroundings. If
the vehicle enters 4WD Low Range, the FCW
system will be automatically deactivated.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not in-
tended to avoid a collision on its own, nor can
FCW detect every type of potential collision.
The driver has the responsibility to avoid a
collision by controlling the vehicle via braking
and steering. Failure to follow this warning
could lead to serious injury or death.
FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking status
are programmable through the Uconnect Sys-
tem. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multime-
dia” for further information.
The default sensitivity of FCW is the “Medium”
setting and the system status is “Warning &
Braking”. This allows the system to warn the
driver of a possible collision with the vehicle in
front using audible/visual warnings and it ap-
plies autonomous braking.
Changing the FCW status to “Far” setting allows
the system to warn the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front using audible/
visual warning when the latter is at a farther
distance than "Medium" setting. This provides
the most reaction time to avoid a possible
collision.
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting,
allows the system to warn the driver of a pos-
sible collision with the vehicle in front when the
distance between the vehicle in the front is
much closer. This setting provides less reaction
time than the “Far” and “Medium” settings,
which allows for a more dynamic driving expe-
rience.
NOTE:
• Changing the FCW status to “Only Warning”
prevents the system from providing limited
active braking, or additional brake support if
the driver is not braking adequately in the
event of a potential frontal collision, but main-
tains the audible and visual warnings.
• Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents
the system from providing autonomous brak-
ing, or additional brake support if the driver is
not braking adequately in the event of a
potential frontal collision.
NOTE:
• The system will NOT retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut
down. The system will reset to "Medium"
sensitivity and system status as “Warning &
Braking” when the vehicle is restarted.
• FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such
as overhead objects, ground reflections, ob-
jects 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.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster displays “ACC/FCW
Limited Functionality” or “ACC/FCW Limited
Functionality Clean Front Windshield” momen-
tarily, there may be a condition that limits FCW
functionality. Although the vehicle is still drivable
under normal conditions, the active braking may
not be fully available. Once the condition that
limited the system performance is no longer
present, the system will return to its full perfor-
mance state. If the problem persists, see your
authorized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument
cluster displays:
• 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 nor-
mal conditions, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.
