OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Far • The default status of FCW is the "Far" setting. • The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of the vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to avoid a collision. • This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) recommendations. • More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting. NOTE: This setting gives you the most reaction time. Near • Changing the FCW status to the "Near" setting, allows the system to warn you of a potential frontal collision when you are much closer. • This setting provides less reaction time than the "Far" setting, which allows for a more dynamic driving experience. • More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this setting. Off • Changing the FCW status to "Off" prevents the system from warning you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you. Turning Active Braking ON Or OFF • The Active Braking feature has two settings and can be changed within the Uconnect® System Screen: • On • Off • Changing the Active Braking status to "Off" prevents the system from providing limited autonomous braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in the event of a potential frontal collision. NOTE: • If FCW is set to "Off", "FCW OFF" will be displayed in the EVIC. • Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details. 36
