Driving and Operating 303
Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System
If equipped, the FCA system
may help to avoid or reduce
the harm caused by front-end
crashes. When approaching a
vehicle ahead too quickly, FCA
provides a red flashing alert
on the windshield and rapidly
beeps or pulses the driver
seat. FCA also lights an amber
visual alert if following another
vehicle much too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a
distance of approximately
60 m (197 ft) and operates at
speeds above 8 km/h (5 mph).
If the vehicle has Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), it can
detect vehicles to distances of
approximately 110 m (360 ft)
and operates at all speeds.
See Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced) 0 277.

Warning
FCA is a warning system and
does not apply the brakes.
When approaching a
slower-moving or stopped
vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle
too closely, FCA may not
provide a warning with
enough time to help avoid a
crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all.
FCA does not warn of
pedestrians, animals, signs,
guardrails, bridges,
construction barrels,
or other objects. Be ready to
take action and apply the
brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0 235.
To view available settings for
this feature, touch the
Settings icon on the
infotainment home page.
Select “Vehicle” to display the
list of available options and
select “Collision/Detection
Systems”.
Detecting the Vehicle
Ahead
FCA warnings will not occur
unless the FCA system
detects a vehicle ahead. When
a vehicle is detected, the
vehicle ahead indicator will
display green. Vehicles may
not be detected on curves,
highway exit ramps, or hills,
due to poor visibility; or if a
vehicle ahead is partially
blocked by pedestrians or
other objects. FCA will not
detect another vehicle ahead
until it is completely in the
driving lane.
