Jeep 2012 Grand Cherokee SRT - User Guide - Manual (Page 34)

Forward Collision Warning
• The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with
audible and visual warnings (within the EVIC) when it detects a potential
frontal collision. The warnings are intended to provide the driver with
enough time to react and avoid the potential collision.
Changing FCW Status
• The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
• Far
• Near
• Off
NOTE: The FCW settings can only be changed when the vehicle is in PARK.
Far
• The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting.
• The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in
front of the vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to
avoid a collision.
• This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration) recommendations.
• More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer
this setting.
NOTE: This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Near
• Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows the system to
warn you of a potential frontal collision when you are much closer.
• This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which
allows for a more dynamic driving experience.
• More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings
may prefer this setting.
Off
• Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you
of a potential frontal collision.
NOTE:
• If FCW is set to “Off”, “FCW OFF” will be displayed in the EVIC.
