FCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway through front view camera
recognition and front radar signals to warn the driver that a collision is imminent, and if necessary, apply emergency braking.
Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW ) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle or pedestrian in front
emitting an audible warning and visual warn on the instrument cluster. If the system detects that the collision risk has increased,
FCA automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a possible collision.
FCA can be enabled by going to the User Settings in the Instrument Cluster.
Go to Driver Assistance > Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.
The Warning Time can be adjusted by going to User Settings > Driver
Assistance > Forward Collision Warning > Early, Normal or Late.
FCA 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:
•
FCA will be activated by default when the vehicle power is cycled on, even when previous setting is off
•
If FCA is operating and ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, FCA is automatically turned off
•
When FCA is off, the FCA warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is not a substitute for safe and proper driving.
Always drive safely and use caution. FCA/FCW may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.

Downhill Brake Control (DBC)†8AWD (All-Wheel Drive) Lock*
DBC helps drivers maneuver down steep hills by
automatically applying braking inputs, allowing
drivers to concentrate on steering.
Press button A to turn DBC ON/OFF.
When you select AWD LOCK mode (indicator is illuminated) by pressing the AWD LOCK button B,
the AWD LOCK mode increases the drive power when driving on wet pavement, snow-covered roads
and/or on unpaved roads.
• This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, driving on unpaved roads, driving on
sandy and muddy roads, etc., to improve traction
• This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speeds above 38 mph and is shifted to AWD
AUTO mode at speeds above 38 mph. If the vehicle decelerates to speeds below approximately 38
mph, however, the transfer mode is shifted into AWD LOCK mode again
When the AWD LOCK mode is deactivated, a shock may be felt as the drive power is delivered
entirely to the front wheels. This shock is not a mechanical failure.
The AWD system is a supplemental system only. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully depending on road and traffic conditions. Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
(Type A shown. Located below gear shift)
