Changing FCW And Active Braking Status

The FCW Sensitivity And Active Braking Settings are

programmable through the Uconnect® System. Refer to

“Uconnect® Settings” in “Understanding Your Instru-

the system to warn you of a possible collision with the

vehicle in front of you when you are much closer. This

• The system will retain the last setting selected by the

driver after ignition shut down.

• FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such as

overhead objects, ground reflections, objects not in the

path of the car, stationary objects that are far away,

screens.
