Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)*†7
The FCA system 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, 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 FCA /FCW off, go to User Settings again and turn it off .
If the collision risk increases, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) is designed to automatically apply the brakes to reduce
your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a possible
collision . FCA is ON by default and can be turned OFF in the User
Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display .
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

Once the system starts operating, the indicator light ()
turns on in the instrument cluster . The indicator will display
the colors according to the system status as follows:
Green=Active White=Standby
