UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 207 FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) WITH MITIGATION - IF EQUIPPED Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With Mitigation Operation The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system with mitigation provides the driver with audible warnings, visual warnings (within the EVIC/DID), and may apply a brake jerk to warn the driver when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings and limited braking are If a Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation event intended to provide the driver with enough time to react, begins at a speed below 20 mph (32 km/h), the system avoid or mitigate the potential collision. may provide the maximum braking possible to mitigate NOTE: FCW monitors the information from the forward the potential forward collision. If the Forward Collision looking sensors as well as the Electronic Brake Controller Warning with Mitigation event stops the vehicle com(EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward collision. pletely, the system will hold the vehicle at standstill for When the system determines that a forward collision is two seconds and then release the brakes. 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. 3
