The FCA-Ped is designed to help alert the driver,
and under certain conditions if necessary, apply
emergency braking, when rapidly approaching a
vehicle that is slowing down, braking or stopped .
Initially, the FCA-Ped 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-Ped/FCW off, go to User
Settings again and turn off .
If the system detects that the collision risk
increases, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-
Pedestrian (FCA-Ped) automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed,
helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision . FCA-Ped can be turned ON in
the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display .
The FCA-Ped/FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
