Forward Collision Warning (FCW)†6
The FCA-Ped 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-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 A . 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 has increased, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-Pedestrian (FCA-Ped)
automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce 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• Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph • Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
REMINDERS:
• The FCA-Ped/FCW will be activated by default when the ignition is cycled ON, even when previously set to OFF
• The FCA-Ped/FCW will not operate when the vehicle is traveling faster than approximately 50 mph
• If the FCA-Ped is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, the FCA-Ped system is automatically turned off
• When FCA-Ped system is off, the FCA-Ped warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster
