Understanding the features of your vehicle » Forward collision warning (fcw) with mitigation - if equipped
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.

Forward Collision Button

To turn the FCW system OFF, push the forward collision button once to turn the system OFF (LED turns on).

To turn the FCW system back ON, push the forward collision button again to turn the system ON (LED turns off).

• Changing the FCW status to "Off" prevents the system from warning you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you.
• Changing the FCW sensitivity - Near vs. Far. Far warns the driver of a possible collision earlier and Near warns the driver later.
• Changing the Active Braking status to "Off" 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.

NOTE: The FCW system state is kept in memory from one key cycle to the next. If the system is turned OFF, it will remain off when the vehicle is restarted.
