Collision Alert
With Head-Up Display
Without Head-Up Display
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. When this Collision
Alert occurs, the brake system
may prepare for driver braking
to occur more rapidly which
can cause a brief, mild
deceleration. Continue to
apply the brake pedal as
needed.
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). See
Driver Information Center
(DIC)0136. The minimum
following time is 0.5 seconds
away. If there is no 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.
Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
If equipped, the AEB system
may help avoid or reduce the
harm caused by front-end
crashes. AEB also includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA).
When the system detects a
vehicle in the path ahead that
is traveling in the same
direction, and that you may
crash into, it can provide a
boost to braking,
or automatically brake the
vehicle. This can help avoid or
lessen the severity of crashes
when driving in a forward gear.
Depending on the situation,
the vehicle may automatically
brake moderately or hard. This
Automatic Emergency Braking
can only occur if a vehicle is detected. Vehicle detection is
shown by the Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) vehicle
ahead indicator being lit. See
Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System
0297.
The system works when
driving in a forward gear
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph), or on
vehicles with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), above 4 km/h
(2 mph). It can detect vehicles
up to approximately 60 m
(197 ft).
{Warning
AEB is an emergency crash
preparation feature and is
not designed to avoid
crashes. Do not rely on AEB
to brake the vehicle. AEB will
not brake outside of its
operating speed range and
only responds to detected
vehicles. (Continued)

302 Driving and Operating
{Warning
Using AEB or IBA while
towing a trailer could cause
you to lose control of the
vehicle and crash. Turn the
system to Alert or Off when
towing a trailer.
A system unavailable message
may display if:
.The front of the vehicle or
windshield is not clean.
.Heavy rain or snow is
interfering with object
detection.
.There is a problem with the
StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC)
system.
The AEB system does not
need service.
Front Pedestrian
Braking (FPB) System
If equipped, the FPB system
may help avoid or reduce the
harm caused by front-end crashes with nearby
pedestrians when driving in a
forward gear. FPB displays an
amber indicator,
~, when a
nearby pedestrian is detected
ahead. When approaching a
detected pedestrian too
quickly, FPB provides a red
flashing alert on the
windshield and rapidly beeps
or pulses the driver seat. FPB
can provide a boost to braking
or automatically brake the
vehicle. This system includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA),
and the Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) system may also
respond to pedestrians. See
Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) 0300.
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.
.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.

Warning (Continued)
Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. For more
information, see Defensive
Driving0230. 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 settings. To view
available settings from the

Detection Systems.
Detecting the Pedestrian
Ahead
FPB alerts and automatic
braking will not occur unless
the FPB system detects a pedestrian. When a pedestrian
that may enter the vehicle’s
forward path is detected, the
pedestrian ahead indicator will
display amber.
Front Pedestrian Alert
With Head-Up Display
Without Head-Up Display
When the vehicle approaches
a pedestrian ahead too rapidly,
the red FPB alert display will
flash on the windshield. Eight
rapid high-pitched beeps will
sound from the front, or both
sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse five times. When this
Pedestrian Alert occurs, the
brake system may prepare for
driver braking to occur more
rapidly which can cause a
brief, mild deceleration.
Continue to apply the brake
pedal as needed. Cruise
control may be disengaged
when the Front Pedestrian
Alert occurs.
Automatic Braking
If FPB detects it is about to
crash into a pedestrian
directly ahead, and the brakes
have not been applied, FPB
may automatically brake
moderately or brake hard. This
can help to avoid some very
low speed pedestrian crashes
or reduce pedestrian injury.
FPB can automatically brake
to detected pedestrians
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). Automatic
braking levels may be reduced
under certain conditions, such
as higher speeds.
