Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)†6
The FCA is designed to help alert the driver, and under certain conditions, apply emergency braking, when rapidly
approaching a vehicle that is slowing down, braking or stopped . Initially, the FCA provides Forward Collision Warning
(FCW ) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle in front, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the
instrument cluster .
Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings . To turn the FCA /FCW off, go to User Settings again
and turn it off .
If the collision risk increases, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) automatically applies the brakes to reduce
your speed, helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision . FCA can be turned ON in the User Settings menu on
the Instrument Cluster display .
The FCA /FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling more than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)* are not substitutes for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA/FCW may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
REMINDERS:
• The FCA will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previously set to off
• The FCW will not operate when the vehicle is traveling faster than approximately 50 mph
• If the FCA is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, the FCA system is automatically turned off
• When FCA system is off, the FCA warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster
