GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL77
YELLOW INDICATOR LIGHTS
Exterior Lights Failure Indicator Light
The telltale will illuminate to indicate a failure
on the following lights: Daytime Running Lights
(DRL)/parking lights/trailer turn signal
indicators (if present)/trailer lights (if present)/
side lights/turn signal indicators/low beam/reversing
light/brake lights/license plate lights.
The failure may be caused by a blown bulb or an
interruption of the electrical connection. For bulb
replacement
Úpage 246.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) Indicator
Light — If Equipped
This telltale will turn on to warn you of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front of
you.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) OFF
Indicator Light — If Equipped
This indicator light illuminates to indicate that
Forward Collision Warning is off.
Immobilizer Fail / VPS Electrical Alarm
Warning Light
This telltale will illuminate when the vehicle
security system has detected an attempt to
break into the vehicle.
NOTE:After cycling the ignition to the ON/RUN position, the
Vehicle Security Warning Light could illuminate if a
problem with the system is detected. This condition will
result in the engine being shut off after two seconds.
GREEN INDICATOR LIGHTS
Active Speed Limiter SET Indicator Light
This indicator light will illuminate when the
Active Speed Limiter is on and set to a specific
speed
Úpage 90.
Cruise Control SET Indicator Light
This indicator light will illuminate when the
Cruise Control is set to the desired speed
Úpage 92.
Hold’n Go Indicator Light —
If Equipped
Hold’n Go keeps your vehicle at a complete
stop without you having to keep your foot
on the brake pedal. Once engaged a green
HOLD indicator will appear in the Instrument
Cluster Display.
Automatic Low Beam Indicator Light —
If Equipped
This indicator appears when the automatic low
beam headlights are on Úpage 40.
Parking/Headlights On Indicator Light
This indicator light will illuminate when the
parking lights or headlights are turned on.
Turn Signal Indicator Lights
When the left or right turn signal is activated,
the turn signal indicator will flash
independently and the corresponding
exterior turn signal lamps will flash. Turn
signals can be activated when the multifunction lever is
moved down (left) or up (right).
NOTE:Check for an inoperative outside light bulb if either indi -
cator flashes at a rapid rate.
Stop/Start Active Indicator Light —
If Equipped
This indicator light will illuminate when the
Stop/Start function is in “Autostop” mode.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission Temperature
Warning Light illuminated will eventually cause severe
transmission damage or transmission failure.

SAFETY163
If a Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation event begins
at a speed below 39 mph (62 km/h), the system may
provide the maximum braking possible to mitigate the
potential forward collision. If the Forward Collision
Warning with Mitigation event stops the vehicle
completely, the system will hold the vehicle at standstill for
two seconds and then release the brakes.
FCW Message
When the system determines a collision with the vehicle in
front of you is no longer probable, the warning message
will be deactivated
Úpage 275.
NOTE:
The minimum speed for FCW activation is 3mph
(5 km/h).
The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects other than
vehicles such as guardrails or sign posts based on the
course prediction. This is expected and is a part of
normal FCW activation and functionality.
It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To prevent such
misuse of the system, after four Active Braking events
within a key cycle, the Active Braking portion of FCW will
be deactivated until the next key cycle.
The FCW system is intended for on-road use only. If the
vehicle is taken off-road, the FCW system should be
deactivated to prevent unnecessary warnings to the
surroundings.
The FCW system can become temporarily inoperative
due to heavy rain, sun rays, snow, ice, mud, or other
road contaminations accumulate on the front fascia/
bumper where the camera is located. If blockage is
detected, a “FCW Unavailability Due To Camera Blind -
ness” message will display in the cluster and FCW will
not function as intended. If a second occurance
happens within the same key cycle, a FCW telltail light
will illuminate only. This is normal operation. The
system will automatically recover and resume function
when the condition clears.
FCW Settings
The Forward Collision menu setting is located in the
Uconnect Settings Úpage 130.
NOTE:The default status of FCW is “Full On,” this allows the
system to provide warning and autonomous braking in the
event of a potential frontal collision.
Changing the FCW status to “Only Warning” prevents the
system from providing autonomous braking, or additional
brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in the
event of a potential frontal collision.
Changing the FCW status to “Off” deactivates the system,
so no warning or autonomous braking will be available in
case of a possible collision.
NOTE:The FCW system state is kept in memory from one ignition
cycle to the next. If the system is turned off, it will remain
off when the vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW Sensitivity And Operating
Status
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking status are
programmable through the Uconnect system
Úpage 130.
The default sensitivity of FCW is the “Medium” setting and
the system status is “Warning & Braking”. This allows the
system to warn the driver of a possible collision with the
vehicle in front using audible/visual warnings and it
applies autonomous braking.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to
avoid a collision on its own, nor can FCW detect every
type of potential collision. The driver has the
responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the
vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to follow this
warning could lead to serious injury or death.
