When there is a risk of collision and the system detects
no intervention from the driver, it initiates automatic
braking to assist in decelerating the car and mitigating
a potential frontal collision (automatic braking).
If the system senses that the driver's action on the
brake pedal is insufficient, it may intervene to enhance
the effectiveness of the braking system, thereby further
reducing the car's speed (additional assistance in
braking stage). The system will refrain from intervening
if it recognizes that the driver has assumed control
of the car and is attentive to the situation and the
possibility of a collision.
FCW Message
When the syst

obable, the
warning message will be deactivated .
The vehicle is equipped with a "creeping" function,
which allows it to resume movement a few seconds
after coming to an automatic stop.
NOTE:

may remain locked for approximately 2 seconds as a
safety measure. If the car moves slightly, press the
brake pedal.
Activation and Deactivation
The Forward Collision Warning system can be
deactivated and reactivated within the Uconnect
system
ð
page 113 or through the instrument cluster
display
ð
page 57.
The system offers three activation levels:
NOTE:
● Warning + Active Braking (system active): the system
provides visual and acoustic warnings, automatic
braking, and additional assistance in the braking
stage when the driver fails to brake sufficiently in
event of a potential frontal collision.
● Only Warning (system partially active): the system
delivers visual and acoustic warnings but does
not provide automatic braking or additional braking
assistance when the driver either doesn't brake at
all or doesn't apply sufficient braking force in the
presence of a potential frontal accident.
● Off (system deactivated): the system does not issue
visual or acoustic warnings, engage in automatic
braking, or additional assistance in the braking
stage. The system does not provide any indication
of a potential collision.
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
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 Settings
Activation and Deactivation
The system will retain the last state (Only W
arning,
Warning plus Active Braking, or Off) that was active
during engine shut down. The next time the engine is
started, the system will either be active or remain off.
The system can be deactivated manually through the
instrument cluster display or the Uconnect settings.
Following deactivation, the system will not provide
warnings to the driver about potential accidents
with preceding vehicles, regardless of the previously
selected setting. The system can be reactivated through
the Uconnect settings or instrument cluster display.
The minimum speed for FCW activation is 3 mph (5
km/h).
The system is active under the following conditions:
NOTE:
● The system is activated correctly.
● It has not been deactivated within the instrument
cluster display or Uconnect settings.
● The ignition device must be in the ENGINE position.
● The vehicles's speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
