FCW Braking Status and Sensitivity

~1min read

FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking Status are programmed through the Uconnect system.

  • Far
    • When FCW Sensitivity is set to "Far" and the system status is "Warning Only," the system alerts the driver to a possible collision with a vehicle ahead at a greater distance using audible and visual warnings.
    • More cautious drivers who do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
  • Middle
    • When FCW Sensitivity is set to "Medium" and the system status is "Warning Only," the system alerts the driver to a possible collision with a vehicle ahead using audible and visual warnings.
  • Near
    • When FCW Sensitivity is set to "Near" and the system status is "Warning Only," the system alerts the driver to a possible collision at a closer distance with a vehicle ahead using audible and visual warnings.
    • This setting provides a shorter reaction time than the "Far" and "Medium" settings, allowing a more dynamic driving experience.
    • More dynamic or aggressive drivers who want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
