WARNING
There are conditions where FCA
may not detect a vehicle ahead.
These include winding roads
or weather conditions such as
fog, rain, or snow that can limit
visibility. You could crash into a
vehicle ahead. Do not rely on
FCA on winding roads or in poor
visibility conditions.
Collision Alert
When your vehicle approaches
another vehicle too rapidly, the red
FCA display will flash and sound
several beeps. When this occurs,
the brake system prepares for
driver braking to occur more rapidly.
Continue to apply the brake pedal
as the driving situation dictates.
Tailgating Alert
The red FCA display will stay
continuously illuminated if the
vehicle ahead remains much
too close.
