SAFETY 263 Turning FCW On Or Off FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity Near The FCW button is located in the Uconnect display in the control settings Ъ page189. The FCW sensitivity and Active Braking status are programmable through the Uconnect system Ъ page189. When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the “Near” setting and the system status is “Warning and Braking”, this allows the system to warn the driver of a possible closer collision with the vehicle in front using audible/visual warnings. NOTE: Far When the FCW is “on”, this allows the system to warn the driver of a possible collision with the vehicle in front.
When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the “Far” setting and the system status is “Warning and Braking”, this allows the system to warn the driver of a possible more distant collision with the vehicle in front using audible/visual warnings. When the FCW is “off”, this prevents the system from warning the driver of a possible collision with the vehicle in front. If the FCW is set to “off”, “FCW OFF" will be displayed in the instrument cluster display. This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” and “Medium” settings, which allows for a more dynamic driving experi ence. More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this setting. When FCW status is set to “Only Warning”, this prevents the system from providing limited active braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in the event of a potential frontal collision. NOTE: The “Far” setting may result in a greater number of FCW possible collision warnings experienced. NOTE: The “Near” setting may result in a lesser number of FCW possible collision warnings experienced.
FCW Limited Warning 6 When FCW status is set to “Warning and Braking”, 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. Medium When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the “Medium” setting and the system status is “Warning and Braking”, this allows the system to warn the driver of a possible colli sion with the vehicle in front using audible/ visual warnings. If the instrument cluster displays “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality” or “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Clean Front Windshield” momentarily, there may be a condition that limits FCW functionality.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under normal conditions, the active braking may not be fully available. Once the condition that limited the system performance is no longer present, the system will return to its full performance state. If the problem persists, see an authorized dealer. The FCW system state is defaulted to “Full On” from one ignition cycle to the next. If the system is turned off, it will reset to “Full On” when the vehicle is restarted.
