FCW Settings
The forward collision menu setting is located in the
Uconnect settings.
NOTE: The default status of FCW is “Full On,” this allows
the system to provide warning and autonomous braking in
the event of a potential frontal collision.
Changing the FCW status to “Warning Only” prevents the
system from providing autonomous braking, or additional
brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in the
event of a potential frontal collision.
Changing the FCW status to off deactivates the system, so
no warning or autonomous braking will be available in
case of a possible collision
NOTE: The FCW system state is defaulted to ON from one
ignition cycle to the next. If the system is turned OFF, it will
reset to ON when the vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW Sensitivity and Operating Status
The FCW Sensitivity And Operation Settings are program-
mable through the Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
The default status of FCW is the “Medium” setting and the
FCW is in the “Full On” setting. This allows the system to
warn the driver of a possible collision with the vehicle in
front using audible/visual warnings and it applies autono-
mous 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 colli-
sion.
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows the
system to warn the driver of a possible 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 experience.
