or if the windshield is damaged. It may
also not detect avehicle on winding or
hilly roads, or in conditions that can limit
visibility such as fog, rain, or snow, or if the
headlamps or windshield are not cleaned or
in proper condition. Keep the windshield,
headlamps, and FCA sensors clean and in
good repair.
Collision Alert
When your vehicle approaches another
de
tected vehicle too rapidly, the red FCA
display will flash on the windshield. Also, eight
rapid high-pitched beeps will sound from the
front, or the Safety Alert Seat will pulse five
times. When this Collision Alert occurs, the
brake system may prepare for driver braking to
occur more rapidly which can cause a brief, mild
d
eceleration. Continue to apply the brake pedal
as needed.
Tailgating Alert
The vehicle ahead indicator will display amber
wh
en you are following avehicle ahead much
too closely.
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is on the steering
wheel. Press [ to set the FCA timing to Far,
Medium, or Near. The first button press shows
the current setting on the DIC. Additional
button presses will change this setting. The
chosen setting will remain until it is changed
and will affect the timing of both the Collision
Alert and the Tailgating Alert features. The
timing of both alerts will vary based on vehicle
speed. The faster the vehicle speed, the farther
away the alert will occur. Consider traffic and
weather conditions when selecting the alert
timing. The range of selectable alert timings
ma
y not be appropriate for all drivers and
driving conditions.
If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), changing the FCA timing
setting automatically changes the following
gap setting (Far, Medium, or Near).
Following Distance Indicator
The following distance to amoving vehicle
ahead in your path is indicated in following
time in seconds on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See Driver Information Center
(DIC) 3 102. The minimum following time is 0.5
seconds away.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary alerts for turning
vehicles, vehicles in other lanes, objects that
are not vehicles, or shadows. These alerts are
normal operation and the vehicle does not
need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to operate
properly, this may correct the issue:
•
Clean the outside of the windshield in front
of the rearview mirror.
