Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA)†6a
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 has increased, the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) automatically applies 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 .
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
