FCA Warning Message and Brake
Control
FCA produces warning messages,
warning alarms, and emergency braking
based on the level of risk of a frontal
collision, such as when a vehicle ahead
suddenly brakes, or the system detects
that a collision with a pedestrian or
cyclist is imminent.
Collision warning (First warning)
ODN8H069201LODN8H069201L
This warning message appears on the
LCD display with a warning chime.
Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs by the engine
management system to help decelerate
the vehicle.

• Your vehicle speed may decelerate moderately.
• If FCA detects a vehicle in front, the system operates when your vehicle
speed is between 6 mph (10 km/h )
and 112 mph (180 km/h). Maximum
vehicle speed may decrease
depending on the condition of the
vehicle ahead and surroundings.
• If FCA detects a pedestrian or cyclist in front, the system operates when
your vehicle speed is between 6
mph (10 km/h ) and 53 mph (85
km/h). Maximum vehicle speed may
decrease depending on the condition
of the pedestrian or cyclist ahead and
surroundings.
• If you select ‘Warning Only’ for the system setting, FCA system activates
and produces only warning alarms
in accordance with the collision risk
levels. You should control the brake

is maximized just before a collision.
• If FCA detects a vehicle in front, the system operates when your vehicle
speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h ) and
47 mph (75 km/h) or under. Maximum
vehicle speed may decrease
depending on the condition of the
vehicle ahead and surroundings.
• If FCA detects a pedestrian or cyclist in front, the system operates when
your vehicle speed is between 6 mph
(10 km/h) or above and under 40 mph
(65 km/h). Maximum vehicle speed
may decrease depending on the
condition of the pedestrian or cyclist
ahead or surroundings.
• If you select ‘Warning Only’ for the system setting, FCA system activates
and produces only warning alarms
in accordance with the collision risk
levels. You should control the brake
directly because FCA system will not
control the brake.

While Driving6-44
Brake operation
• In an urgent situation, the braking system enters into the ready status for
prompt reaction against the driver’s
depressing the brake pedal.
• FCA provides additional braking power for optimum braking
performance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
• The braking control is automatically deactivated, when the driver sharply
depresses the accelerator pedal, or
when the driver abruptly operates the
steering wheel.
• FCA brake control is automatically canceled, when risk factors disappear.
CAUTION
• The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not there is a
warning message or alarm from FCA
system.
• After the brake control is activated,
the driver must immediately depress
the brake pedal and check the
surroundings. The brake activation
by the system lasts for about 2
seconds.
• If any other warning sound such as
seat belt warning chime is already
generated, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system warning
may not sound.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at
high volume may prevent occupants
from hearing the system warning
sounds.
WARNING
The braking control cannot completely
stop the vehicle nor avoid all
collisions. The driver should hold the
responsibility to safely drive and control
the vehicle.
WARNING
The FCA system logic operates within
certain parameters, such as the
distance from the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist (if equipped) ahead, the speed
of the vehicle ahead, and the driver’s
vehicle speed. Certain conditions
such as inclement weather and road
conditions may affect the operation of
FCA system.
WARNING
