OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) WITH MITIGATION The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system with mitigation provides the driver with audible warnings, visual warnings within the DID, and may apply a brake jerk to warn the driver when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings and limited braking are intended to provide the driver with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision. NOTE: FCW monitors the information from the forward looking sensors as well as the Electronic Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward collision. When the system determines that a forward collision is probable, the driver will be provided with audible and visual warnings and may provide a brake jerk warning. If the driver does not take action based upon these progressive warnings, then the system will provide a limited level of active braking to help slow the vehicle and mitigate the potential forward collision. If the driver reacts to the warnings by braking and the system determines that the driver intends to avoid the collision by braking but has not applied sufficient brake force, the system will compensate and provide additional brake force as required. Turning FCW ON Or OFF NOTE: The default status of FCW is "On", this allows the system to warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you when you are farther away and it applies limited braking. This gives you the most reaction time to avoid a possible collision. The forward collision button is on the switch panel that is located in the center of the instrument panel. • To turn the FCW system OFF, press the forward collision button once (LED turns on). • To turn the FCW system back ON, press the forward collision button again (LED turns off). Changing FCW Status The FCW feature has two settings and can be changed within the Uconnect® System Screen: • Far • Near NOTE: The FCW and active braking settings can only be changed when the vehicle is in PARK. 43
