WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active
driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road,
traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most
importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road
conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving to maintain safe
control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
•Doesnotreacttopedestrians,oncomingvehicles,andstationaryobjects(e.g.,a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
•Cannottakestreet,traffic,andweatherconditionsintoaccount,andmaybelimited

•Doesnotalwaysfullyrecognizecomplexdrivingconditions,whichcanresultin

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible warnings
and visual warnings within the Driver Information Display (DID), to warn the driver when
it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings are intended to provide the driver with
enough time to react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the forward looking sensors as well as the Electronic
Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward collision. When the
system determines that a forward collision is probable, the driver will be provided with
audible and visual warnings.
Turning FCW ON Or OFF
The forward collision button is located on the switch panel below the Uconnect®display.
•ToturntheFCWsystemOFF,presstheforwardcollisionbuttononce(LEDturnson).
•To t u r n t h e F C W s y s t e m b a c k O N , p r e s s t h e f o r w a r d c o l l i s i o n b u t t o n a g a i n ( L E D t u r n s o f f ) .
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is “On”, this allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you.
Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you. If FCW is set to “Off”, “FCW OFF” will be
displayed in the Driver Information Display (DID).
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has two settings and can be changed within the Uconnect®System
Screen:
•Far
•Near
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.
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.
