When the system determines a collision with the vehicle

in front of you is no longer probable, the warning

message will be deactivated.
NOTE:

• The minimum speed for FCW activation is 1 mph

(2 km/h).

• The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects other than

vehicles such as guard rails 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.

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.

Turning FCW ON Or OFF

NOTE:

The default status of FCW is “On”, this allows

the system to warn you of a possible collision with the

vehicle in front of you.
The forward collision button is located on the switch

panel below the Uconnect® display.
