OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration) recommendations.
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.
This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which allows for a more
dynamic driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this
setting.
Off
Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you.
Turning Active Braking ON Or OFF
The Active Braking feature has two settings and can be changed within the Uconnect®
System Screen:
•On
•Off
Changing the Active Braking status to “Off” prevents the system from providing limited
autonomous braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in
the event of a potential frontal collision.
NOTE:
If FCW is set to “Off,” “FCW OFF” will be displayed in the DID.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor can
FCW detect every type of potential collision. The driver has the responsibility to avoid
acollisionbycontrollingthevehicleviabrakingandsteering.Failuretofollowthis
warning could lead to serious injury or death.

Operation
When the transmission is in DRIVE, it will operate automatically, shifting between the
eight available gears. To engage AutoStick, simply tap one of the steering wheel-mounted
shift paddles (+/-). Tapping (-) to enter AutoStick mode will downshift the transmission to
the next lower gear, while using (+) to enter AutoStick mode will retain the current gear.
When AutoStick is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the instrument
cluster.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up or down when (+/-) is manually selected
by the driver, unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition would result. It will remain
in the selected gear until another upshift or downshift is chosen, except as described
below.
