sions. The feature can be can be set to “Far”, or set to “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 more dynamic driving, 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
