Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)†9 / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)†9
The FCA is designed to help alert the driver and, under certain conditions if necessary, apply emergency braking when rapidly approaching a vehicle
that is slowing down, braking or stopped . Initially, the Forward Collision Warning (FCW ) will provide a warning when it detects a potential collision with a
vehicle in front and emits an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster . Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings .
To turn the FCA /FCW off, go to User Settings again and turn off .
If the system detects that the collision risk increases, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)
automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, helping to minimize the effects of a possible
collision . FCA can be turned ON in the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display .
The FCA /FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)* / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)* are not substitutes for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA and FCW may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.REMINDERS:

• If the FCA is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, the FCA system is automatically turned off .
