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 DID. Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details. WARNING! Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor can FCW detect every type of potential collision. The driver has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to follow this warning could lead to serious injury or death. 44
