able:
Setting NameSelectable Options
Forward Collision
Warning-Plus (FCW+) — If Equipped Near
Medium Far
NOTE: The Front Collision Warning (FCW+) feature can be set to Far, Medium, or Near. The default status of
FCW+ is the Far setting. This means the system will warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front
of you when you are farther away. This gives you the most reaction time. To change the setting for a more dy-
namic driving experience, select the Near setting. This warns you of a possible collision when you are much
closer to the vehicle in front of you.
Forward Collision
Warning-Plus (FCW+) Active Braking — If Equipped Off
AudioAudio & Brake
NOTE: The FCW+ system includes Advanced Brake Assist (ABA). When this feature is selected, it will apply
the brakes to slow your vehicle in case of potential forward collision. The ABA applies additional brake pres-
sure when the driver requests insufficient brake pressure to avoid a potential frontal collision. The ABA system
becomes active at 5 mph (8 km/h).
