NOTE:
The Front Collision Warning (FCW) feature provides an audible and/or visual warning to potential forward colli-
sions. The feature can be set to Far, or set to Near. The default status of FCW is the Far setting. This means the sys-
tem 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.
