O P E R AT I N G YO U R V E H I C L E Mode (ACC Only) • If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be operated as a standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control. When in the standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the system will maintain the speed you set. • To change modes, press the MODE button when the system is in either the OFF, READY, or SET position. "Cruise Ready" will be displayed if the system was in ACC READY or ACC SET position. "Cruise Off" will be displayed if the system was in the ACC OFF position. To switch back to Adaptive Cruise Control mode, press the MODE button a second time. • Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information. Forward Collision Warning • The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible and visual warnings (within the EVIC) when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings are intended to provide the driver with enough time to react and avoid the potential collision. Changing FCW Status • The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the Uconnect® System: • Far • Near • Off NOTE: The FCW settings can only be changed when the vehicle is in PARK. 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 potential frontal collision. 30
