feature, touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select “Vehicle”to

options and select “Collision/
Detection Systems”.
Detecting the Vehicle
Ahead
FCA warnings will not occur
unless the FCA system
detects a vehicle ahead. When
a vehicle is detected, the
vehicle ahead indicator will display green. Vehicles may
not be detected on curves,
highway exit ramps, or hills,
due to poor visibility; or if a
vehicle ahead is partially
blocked by pedestrians or
other objects. FCA will not
detect another vehicle ahead
until it is completely in the
driving lane.
{Warning
FCA does not provide a
warning to help avoid a
crash, unless it detects a
vehicle. FCA may not detect
a vehicle ahead if the FCA
sensor is blocked by dirt,
snow, or ice, or if the
windshield is damaged.
It may also not detect a
vehicle on winding or hilly
roads, or in conditions that
can limit visibility such as
fog, rain, or snow, or if the
headlamps or windshield are
not cleaned or in proper
condition. Keep the

windshield, headlamps, and
FCA sensors clean and in
good repair.
Collision Alert
When your vehicle approaches
another detected vehicle too
rapidly, the red FCA display
will flash on the windshield.
Also, eight rapid high-pitched
beeps will sound from the
front, or both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse
five times. Continue to apply
the brake pedal as needed.

272 Driving and Operating
Tailgating Alert
The vehicle ahead indicator
will display amber when you
are following a vehicle ahead
much too closely.
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is
on the steering wheel. Press
[to set the FCA timing to
Far, Medium, or Near. The first
button press shows the
current setting on the DIC.
Additional button presses will
change this setting. The
chosen setting will remain until it is changed and will affect
the timing of both the Collision
Alert and the Tailgating Alert
features. The timing of both
alerts will vary based on
vehicle speed. The faster the
vehicle speed, the farther
away the alert will occur.
Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the
alert timing. The range of
selectable alert timings may
not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions.
If your vehicle is equipped with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC),
changing the FCA timing
setting automatically changes
the following gap setting (Far,
Medium, or Near).
Following Distance
Indicator
The following distance to a
moving vehicle ahead in your
path is indicated in following
time in seconds on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The
minimum following time is
0.5 seconds away. If there isno vehicle detected ahead,
or the vehicle ahead is out of
sensor range, dashes will be
displayed.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary
alerts for turning vehicles,
vehicles in other lanes, objects
that are not vehicles,
or shadows. These alerts are
normal operation and the
vehicle does not need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not
seem to operate properly, this
may correct the issue:
.Clean the outside of the
windshield in front of the
rearview mirror.
.Clean the entire front of the
vehicle.
.Clean the headlamps.

respond to pedestrians. See
Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB)0273.
The FPB system can detect
and alert to pedestrians in a
forward gear at speeds
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). During
daytime driving, the system
detects pedestrians up to a
distance of approximately
40 m (131 ft). During nighttime
driving, system performance is
very limited.
{Warning
FPB does not provide an
alert or automatically brake
the vehicle, unless it detects
a pedestrian. FPB may not
detect pedestrians, including
children:
.When the pedestrian is
not directly ahead, fully
visible, or standing upright,
or when part of a group. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Due to poor visibility,
including nighttime
conditions, fog, rain,
or snow.
.If the FPB sensor is
blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice.
.If the headlamps or
windshield are not cleaned
or in proper condition.
Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. For more
information, see Defensive
Driving 0196. Keep the
windshield, headlamps, and
FPB sensor clean and in
good repair.
FPB can be set to Off, Alert,
or Alert and Brake through
vehicle personalization. To
view available settings for this
feature, touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select “Vehicle”to display the list of available
options and select
“Collision/
Detection Systems”.
Detecting the Pedestrian
Ahead
FPB alerts and automatic
braking will not occur unless
the FPB system detects a
pedestrian. When a nearby
pedestrian is detected in front
of the vehicle, the pedestrian
ahead indicator will display
amber.

280 Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
.BZSA performance may
be affected by weather
and road conditions.
.BZSA does not provide
steering assistance to
avoid a vehicle that is in,
or has entered, your lane
of travel.
.BZSA will not prevent a
towed trailer from
crossing into the adjacent
lane. Always monitor the
trailer position while
towing to ensure it is in
the same lane as your
vehicle. BZSA is only
designed to detect when
your vehicle
unintentionally crosses
detected lane lines.
Lane Keep
Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help
avoid crashes due to
unintentional lane departures.
This system uses a camera todetect lane markings. The LKA
may be ready to assist at
speeds between
80 km/h (50 mph) and 180
km/h (112 mph). LKA may assist
by gently turning the steering
wheel if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane
marking. It may also provide a
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) alert if the vehicle
crosses a detected lane
marking. This system is not
intended to keep the vehicle
centered in the lane. LKA will
not assist and alert if the turn
signal is active in the direction
of lane departure, or if it
detects that you are
accelerating, braking or
actively steering. LKA can be
overridden by turning the
steering wheel. If the system
detects you are steering
intentionally across a lane
marker, the LDW will not be
given. Do not expect the LDW
to occur when you are
intentionally crossing a lane
marker.
{Warning
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the
vehicle. It may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give a
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) alert, even if a lane
marking is detected.
The LKA and LDW systems
may not:
.Provide an alert or enough
steering assist to avoid a
lane departure or crash.
.Detect lane markings
under poor weather or
visibility conditions. This
can occur if the windshield
or headlamps are blocked
by dirt, snow, or ice; if they
are not in proper
condition; or if the sun
shines directly into the
camera.
.Detect road edges.
.Detect lanes on winding or
hilly roads.

Driving and Operating 281
Warning (Continued)
If LKA only detects lane
markings on one side of the
road, it will only assist or
provide an LDW alert when
approaching the lane on the
side where it has detected a
lane marking. Even with LKA
and LDW, you must steer
the vehicle. Always keep
your attention on the road
and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane,
or vehicle damage, injury,
or death could occur. Always
keep the windshield,
headlamps, and camera
sensors clean and in good
repair. Do not use LKA in
bad weather conditions or
on roads with unclear lane
markings, such as
construction zones.
{Warning
Using LKA on slippery roads
could cause loss of control
of the vehicle and a crash.
Turn the system off.
{Warning
LKA will not alert the driver
if a towed trailer crosses
into an adjacent lane of
travel. Serious injury or
property damage may occur
if the trailer moves into
another lane. Always
monitor the trailer position
while towing to make sure it
is within the same lane as
the tow vehicle.
How the System Works
LKA uses a camera sensor
installed on the windshield
ahead of the rearview mirror
to detect lane markings. It may
provide brief steering assist if
it detects an unintended lanedeparture. It may further
provide an audible alert or the
driver seat may pulse
indicating that a lane marking
has been crossed. The system
does not provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW)
when intentionally steering
across a lane marker.
To turn LKA on and off, press
non the center console.
If equipped, the indicator light
on the button comes on when
LKA is on and turns off when
LKA is disabled. On some
vehicles, a long press of over
three seconds is required to
turn LKA off.
When on,
nis white,
if equipped, indicating that the
system is not ready to assist.
nis green if LKA is ready to
assist. LKA may assist by
gently turning the steering
wheel if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane
marking.
nis amber when
assisting. It may also provide a
