SAFETY 233
If the vehicle enters 4WD Low, the FCW system
will be automatically deactivated.
The active braking is disabled when a trailer is
connected with a Mopar® Trailer Towing
system. If the vehicle is equipped with an after
-
market system, it is recommended that the
Activ e

Braking is turned off manually
Ú page 349.
Turning FCW On Or Off
The Forward Collision menu setting is located in
the Uconnect settings.
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is “Warning + Active
Braki n
g,” this allows the system to warn you of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front of you
and enable the active braking.
Changing the FCW status to “Off” deactivates
the system, so no warning or active braking will
be available in case of a possible collision.
Changing the FCW status to “Only warning”
prevents the system from providing limited
active braking, or additional brake support if the
driver is not braking adequately in the event of
a potential frontal collision, but maintains the
audible and visual warnings.
Changing the status of the system can be done at
any t i

me in the vehicle's head unit.
NOTE:
When the system is turned off, the FCW system
state
will reset.
Changing FCW Sensitivity
By changing the settings on the menu of the
Uconnect system, you can change the sensitivity of
the system by choosing one of the following three
options: "Near", "Medium" or "Far" Ú page 133.
The default option is "Medium". This setting allows
t he sy

stem to warn the driver of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front when it is at a standard
distance, intermediate between the “Near” and
“Far” settings.
By setting the sensitivity of the system to "Far", the
syste m

will warn the driver of a possible accident
with the vehicle in front when the latter is at a
greater distance, giving you the chance to act on
the brakes in a more limited and gradual way. This
setting gives the driver the maximum possible time
of reaction to prevent a possible accident.
NOTE:
The “Far” setting may result in a greater number of
FCW p os
sible collision warnings experienced.
By changing the option to "Near", the system will
warn t
he driver of a possible accident with the
vehicle ahead of it when the latter is a reduced
distance. This setting offers a reaction time to the
driver lower than the settings "Medium" and "Far",
in the case of a potential accident, providing a
more dynamic driving of the vehicle.
NOTE:
The “Near” setting may result in a lesser number of
FCW p os
sible collision warnings experienced.
The setting of the sensitivity of the system is
mainta
ined in memory when the engine is
switched off.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display reads “FCW
Limited Functionality” or “FCW Limited
Functionality Wipe Front Windshield” momentarily,
there may be a condition that limits FCW
functionality. Although the vehicle is still drivable
under normal conditions, the active braking may
not be fully available. Once the condition that
limited the system performance is no longer
present, the system will return to its full
performance state. If the problem persists, see an
authorized dealer.
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.

234 SAFETY
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster
display reads: “FCW Unavailable Service
Required”, this indicates there is an internal
system fault. Although the vehicle is still drivable
under normal conditions, have the system checked
by an authorized dealer.
“FCW Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked”
Warni n

g
The “FCW Front Radar Sensor Temporarily
Blocked
” warning will display when conditions
temporarily limit system performance. This most
often occurs at times of poor visibility, such as in
snow or heavy rain. The system may also become
temporarily blinded due to obstructions, such as
mud, dirt or ice. In these cases, the instrument
cluster display will read “FCW Front Radar Sensor
Temporarily Blocked” and the system will
deactivate.
The “FCW Front Radar Sensor Temporarily
Blocke d

” message can sometimes be displayed
while driving in highly reflective areas (i.e. tunnels
with reflective tiles, or ice and snow). The system
will recover after the vehicle has left these areas.
Under rare conditions, when the radar is not
tracking any vehicles or objects in its path, this
warning may temporarily occur. If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver
shoul
d

examine the sensor. It may require cleaning
or removal of an obstruction. In absence of visible
obstructions on the fasica/bumper, it could be
necessary to wipe off the radar directly on the
surface, after having the radar cover removed. It’s
recommended that an authorized dealer perform
this operation.
NOTE:
If the “FCW Front Radar Sensor Temporarily
Blocked” message occurs frequently (e.g. more
than once on every trip) without any snow, rain,
mud, or other obstruction, have the radar
sensor realigned at an authorized dealer.
Installing a snow plow or front-end protector is
not recommended. Doing so may block the
sensor and inhibit FCW operation.
Use only a soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use
solvents or abrasive pastes.
The radar is equipped with a defrost system, so
in some climatic conditions it could reach high
temperatures. Wait at least 30 seconds after
the engine has been turned off before touching
the sensor.
Precautions While Driving With FCW
In certain driving conditions, such as:
Driving in the vicinity of a curve
Small vehicles and/or not aligned to the lane
Lane changing of other vehicles
Passing of vehicles in an oncoming intersection
The intervention of the system could be
u n e
xp
e

cted or delayed. The driver must therefore
always pay particular attention, while maintaining
control of the vehicle to drive in complete safety.
Driving In The Vicinity Of A Curve
Entering or exiting a large curve, the system could
detec t

the presence of a vehicle that is in front of
the vehicle, but that does not preside in the same
lane. In cases such as this, the system might
respond.

Driving In The Vicinity Of A Curve

SAFETY 237
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check the tire
press u
re in all of the tires on your vehicle monthly
and to maintain the proper pressure.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features in your
vehicle are the restraint systems:
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in this
secti on

may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on others. If
you are not sure, ask an authorized dealer.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please pay close attention to the information in
this section. It tells you how to use your restraint
system properly, to keep you and your passengers
as safe as possible.
Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimi
ze the risk of harm from a deploying air bag:

1. Children 12 years old and under should alway
s ride buckled up in the rear seat of a
vehicle with a rear seat.

2. A child who is not big enough to wear the vehi c

le seat belt properly must be secured in
the appropriate child restraint or
belt-positioning booster seat in a rear seating
position Ú page 255.
3. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a rear-

facing child restraint) must ride in the
front passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible and use the proper child
restraint Ú page 255.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behi n

d them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided with your c
hild restraint to make sure that you are
using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoul d

er belts properly. 7. The driver and front passenger seats should
be m ov

ed back as far as practical to allow the
front air bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or window. If your vehi c

le has side air bags, and deployment
occurs, the side air bags will inflate forcefully
into the space between occupants and the
door and occupants could be injured.
9. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be modif i

ed to accommodate a disabled person,
see Ú page 346 for customer service contact
information.
WARNING!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious injury
to a child 12 years or younger, including a
child in a rear-facing child restraint.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat of a vehicle. Only use a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat. If the vehicle
does not have a rear seat, do not transport a
rear-facing child restraint in that vehicle.

SAFETY 241
SEAT BELT SYSTEMS
Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver,
even on short trips. Someone on the road may be
a poor driver and could cause a collision that
includes you. This can happen far away from home
or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and
they c

an reduce the seriousness of injuries in a
collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when
people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts
reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of
injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle.
Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all
times.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlert)
Driver And Passenger BeltAlert — If Equipped
BeltAlert is a feature intended to remind the driver and outboard front seat
passenger to buckle their seat belts. The
BeltAlert feature is active whenever the
ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position.
Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the ignition switch
is fi r

st in the START or ON/RUN position a chime
will signal for a few seconds. If the driver or
outboard front seat passenger is unbuckled when
the ignition switch is first in the START or ON/RUN position the Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn solid
red and remain red until the seat belt is buckled.
After the driver and outboard front seat passenger
have buckled their seat belts all Seat Belt
Reminder Lights will turn off. The outboard front
passenger seat BeltAlert is not active when the
outboard front passenger seat is unoccupied. The
cluster display will inform the driver that you must
fasten the driver’s seat belt in order to release the
parking brake.
BeltAlert Warning Sequence
The BeltAlert warning sequence is activated when
t
he v e

hicle is moving above a specified vehicle
speed range and the driver or outboard front seat
passenger is unbuckled (the outboard front
passenger seat BeltAlert is not active when the
outboard front passenger seat is unoccupied). The
BeltAlert warning sequence starts by blinking the
Seat Belt Reminder Light and sounding an
intermittent chime. Once the BeltAlert warning
sequence has completed, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light will remain solid red until the driver and
outboard front seat passenger are buckled. The
BeltAlert warning sequence may repeat based on
vehicle speed until the driver and occupied
outboard front seat passenger seat belts are
buckled. The driver should instruct all occupants to
buckle their seat belts. Change Of Status
If the driver or outboard front seat passenger
unbuc
k

les their seat belt while the vehicle is
traveling, the BeltAlert warning sequence will begin
until the seat belts are buckled again.
The outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert is not
active
when the outboard front passenger seat is
unoccupied. BeltAlert may be triggered when an
animal or other items are placed on the outboard
front passenger seat or when the seat is folded flat
(if equipped). It is recommended that pets be
restrained in the rear seat (if equipped) in pet
harnesses or pet carriers that are secured by seat
belts, and cargo is properly stowed.
BeltAlert can be activated or deactivated by an
author i

zed dealer. FCA US LLC does not
recommend deactivating BeltAlert.
NOTE:
If BeltAlert has been deactivated, the Seat Belt
Remin d
er Light will turn on and remain on until the
driver and outboard front seat passenger seat
belts are buckled.
Lap/Shoulder Belts
All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped
with lap/shoulder belts.
The seat belt webbing retractor will lock only during
very s
udden stops or collisions. This feature allows
the shoulder part of the seat belt to move freely
with you under normal conditions. However, in a
