Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System
If your vehicle has this feature, be sure to read
this entire section before using it.
The system operates on a radio frequency subject
to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry
Canada. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modications to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.
The Forward Collision Alert (FCA) system provides
an audible and visual warning if you approach a
vehicle too rapidly. FCA also provides a visual
warning with no audible warning if you are
following another vehicle much too closely. FCA
uses the Adaptive Cruise Control radar to detect a
vehicle directly ahead, in your path, within a
distance of 328 ft (100 m) and operates at
speeds above 20 mph (32 km/h).
184

{CAUTION:
FCA is only a warning system and does
not apply the brakes. When you are
approaching a vehicle or object too rapidly
or when you are following a vehicle too
closely that is ahead of you, FCA may not
provide you with enough time to avoid a
collision. FCA is not designed to warn the
driver of pedestrians or animals. Your
complete attention is always required while
driving and you should be ready to take
action and apply the brakes. For more
information, seeDefensive Driving on
page 316.The Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) controls are
located on the end of
the multifunction lever.
9(Off):This position turns the system off.
R(On):This position turns the system on.
To enable FCA, move the Adaptive Cruise Control
switch to on. To disable FCA, move the switch
to off.
185

Make sure the Head-Up Display is on and
properly adjusted. If the HUD is not on, FCA will
not be enabled and you will not be provided
with FCA audible and visual warnings. See
Head-Up Display (HUD) on page 223for more
information.
{CAUTION:
On winding roads, FCA may not detect
a vehicle ahead. You could crash into
a vehicle ahead of you. Do not rely on
FCA on winding roads.
When weather limits visibility, such as
in fog, rain, or snow, FCA performance
is limited. There may not be enough
warning distance to the vehicle in front
of you. Do not rely on FCA in low
visibility conditions.
{CAUTION:
When FCA is enabled, the Adaptive Cruise
Control switch is on. If you press another
Adaptive Cruise Control button, you might
go into cruise when you do not want to.
You could be startled and even lose
control. Be careful not to press adaptive
cruise buttons unless you want to use
cruise control.
186

Warning the Driver
The alert symbol will
ash on the HUD and
a warning beep will
sound when driver
action may be required.
The driver warning is active when:
You are approaching a vehicle too quickly.
You are following a vehicle ahead much
too closely.
SeeDefensive Driving on page 316for more
information.
Detecting the Vehicle Ahead
The vehicle ahead symbol will only appear on the
HUD when a vehicle ahead of you is detected in
your path. If this symbol does not appear, or
disappears briey, FCA will not respond to vehicles
you may see ahead. The symbol may disappear on
curves, highway exit ramps, or hills. Also, when
another vehicle enters the same lane as you, the
FCA system will not detect the vehicle until it is
completely in your driving lane.
{CAUTION:
When the Adaptive Cruise Control radar is
blocked by snow, ice, or dirt, it may not
detect a vehicle ahead. FCA may not
help you avoid a collision under these
conditions. Do not use FCA when the radar
is blocked by snow, ice, or dirt. Keep your
radar clean. See “Cleaning the System”
underAdaptive Cruise Control on page 197.
{CAUTION:
FCA may not detect and warn soon
enough to stationary or slow-moving
vehicles or other objects ahead of you.
You could crash into an object ahead
of you. Do not rely on FCA when
approaching stationary or slow-moving
vehicles or other objects.
187

Unnecessary Warnings
FCA may occasionally provide an unnecessary
warning to guard rails, signs, and other stationary
objects. This is normal operation, your vehicle
does not need service.
Other Messages
There are three messages that may appear on the
Driver Information Center (DIC). They are
CLEAN RADAR, RADAR CRUISE NOT READY
and SERVICE RADAR CRUISE. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 264.
Cleaning the System
The radar can become blocked by snow, ice, or
dirt. If so, you may need to turn off the engine and
clean the lens. See “Cleaning the System”
underAdaptive Cruise Control on page 197.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature allows you to use the high-beam
headlamps to signal the driver in front of you that
you want to pass.
Pull and hold the turn signal/multifunction lever
toward you to use this feature. When you do this,
the following will occur:
If the headlamps are off, in low-beam or in
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) mode, the
high-beam headlamps will turn on. They will
stay on as long as you hold the lever
there. Release the lever to turn them off.
If the headlamps are in high-beam mode, they
will switch to low beam. To return to
high-beam, push the lever away from you.
188

Cruise Control
These controls are
located on the end of
the multifunction lever.
9(Off):Move to this position to turn the
system off.
R(On):Move to this position to turn on the system.
+ (Resume/Accelerate):Move to this position to
make the vehicle resume a previously set speed or
to accelerate when cruise is already active.
T(Set/Decrease):Press this button to set the
speed or to decrease the speed when cruise
is already active.
With cruise control, a speed of about 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more can be maintained without
keeping your foot on the accelerator. This
can really help on long trips. Cruise control does
not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
