potential collision with a vehicle in front emitting an audible warning
and visual alert on the instrument cluster Adjust the alert settings
(Late, Normal, Early) 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
