Changing FCW And Active Braking Status

The FCW Sensitivity And Active Braking Settings are programmable through the Uconnect System. Refer to "Uconnect Settings" in "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" for further information.

The default status of FCW is the "Medium" setting and the Active Braking is in the "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 autonomous 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 collision.

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.

Changing the Active Braking status to "Off" 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.

NOTE:

•  The system will retain the last setting selected by the driver after ignition shut down.
•  FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such as overhead objects, ground reflections, objects not in the path of the vehicle, stationary objects that are far away, oncoming traffic, or leading vehicles with the same or higher rate of speed.
•  FCW will be disabled like ACC, with the unavailable screens.
