• Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system

from warning you of a possible collision with the

vehicle in front of you.

• Changing the FCW sensitivity - Near vs. Far. Far warns

the driver of a possible collision earlier and Near

warns the driver later.

• Changing the Active Braking status to “Off” prevents

the system from providing limited active braking, or

additional brake support if the driver is not braking

adequately in the event of a potential frontal collision,

but maintains the audible and visual warnings.

NOTE:

The FCW system state is kept in memory from

one key cycle to the next. If the system is turned OFF, it

will remain off when the vehicle is restarted.

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-

ment Panel” for further information.
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

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.
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows

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.
