Changing FCW And Active Braking Status

The FCW Sensitivity And Active Braking Settings are

programmable through the Uconnect® System. Refer to

“Uconnect® Settings” in “Understanding Your Instru-

The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting and the

Active Braking is the “On” setting, this allows the system

to warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle in

the system to warn you of a possible collision with the

vehicle in front of you when you are much closer. This

setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting,

which allows for a more dynamic driving experience.

NOTE:

• The system will retain the last setting selected by the

driver after ignition shut down.

• FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such as

screens.
