JEEP CHEROKEE 2016 KL / 5.G Workshop Manual

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) WITH
MITIGATION
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system with mitigation provides the driver with
audible warnings, visual warnings (within the EVIC/DID), and may apply a brake jerk
to warn the driver when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings and
limited braking are intended to provide the driver with enough time to react, avoid or
mitigate the potential collision.
• FCW monitors the information from the forward looking sensors as well as theElectronic Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward
collision. When the system determines that a forward collision is probable, the
driver will be provided with audible and visual warnings and may provide a brake
jerk warning.
• If the driver does not take action based upon these progressive warnings, then the system will provide a limited level of active braking to help slow the vehicle and
mitigate the potential forward collision. If the driver reacts to the warnings by
braking and the system determines that the driver intends to avoid the collision by
braking but has not applied sufficient brake force, the system will compensate and
provide additional brake force as required.
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 when you are farther away and it applies
limited braking. This gives you the most reaction time to avoid a possible collision.
The forward collision button is on the switch panel that is located in the center of the
instrument panel.
• To turn the FCW system OFF, push the forward collision button once (LED turns on).
• To turn the FCW system back ON, push the forward collision button again (LED turns off).
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has two settings and can be changed within the Uconnect System
Screen:
• Far
• Near
NOTE:
The FCW and active braking 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 possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you.
Turning Active Braking ON Or OFF
The Active Braking feature has two settings and can be changed within the Uconnect
System Screen:
•On
• Off
Changing the Active Braking status to “Off” prevents the system from providing
limited autonomous braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking
adequately in the event of a potential frontal collision.
NOTE:
If FCW is set to “Off,” “FCW OFF” will be displayed in the EVIC/DID.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
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.

• MAX A/C sets the control for maximum cooling performance.
• Press and release to toggle between MAX A/C and the prior settings. The button onthe touchscreen illuminates when MAX A/C is ON.
• In MAX A/C, the blower level and mode position can be adjusted to desired user settings. Pressing other settings will cause the MAX A/C operation to switch to the
prior settings and the MAX A/C indicator will turn off.
Air Recirculation
• Push the Recirculation button for maximum A/C operation.
• To turn off Recirculation for window defogging, push the Recirculation button asecond time.
• If the Recirculation button is pushed while in the AUTO mode, the indicator light shall illuminate. In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may lead to excessive
window fogging. The recirculation feature may be unavailable (button greyed out)
if conditions exist that could create fogging on the inside of the windshield.
Heated Mirrors
The mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This feature is activated whenever you turn
on the rear window defroster.
Windshield Wiper De-icer — If Equipped
The windshield wiper de-icer is a heating element located at the base of the windshield.
The windshield wiper de-icer operates automatically once the following conditions
are met:
• Activation By Front Defrost
The wiper de-icer activates automatically during a cold weather manual start with full
defrost, theblower speed is greater than five, and when theambient temperature is
below 40° F (4.4° C).
• Activation By Rear Defrost
The wiper de-icer activates automatically when the Rear Defrost is operating and the
ambient temperature is below 40° F (4.4° C).
• Activation By Remote Start Operation
When the Remote Start is activated and the outside ambient temperature is less than
40° F (4.4° C) the windshield wiper de-icer is activated. Upon exiting Remote Start,
the climate control functions will resume their previous operation except, if the
de-icer is active, the de-icer timer and operation will continue.
