FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible
warnings and visual warnings within the Driver Information Display (DID), to warn the
driver when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings are intended to
provide the driver with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the forward looking sensors as well as the
Electronic 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.
Turning FCW ON Or OFF
The forward collision button is located in the Uconnect display in the controls
settings.
• To turn the FCW system OFF, press the forward collision button once to turn thesystem OFF.
• To turn the FCW system back ON, press the forward collision button again to turn the system ON.
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.
• Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you. If FCW is set to “Off”, “FCW
OFF” will be displayed in the Driver Information Display (DID).
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the Uconnect System
Screen:
• Far
• Medium
• Near
Far
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.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.

Parksense Rear Park Assist — If Equipped
The ParkSense Rear Park Assist system provides visual and audible indications of the
distance between the rear fascia and a detected obstacle when backing up, e.g.
during a parking maneuver. If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, the vehicle
brakes may be automatically applied and released when performing a reverse parking
maneuver if the system detects a possible collision with an obstacle.
The automatic braking function can be enabled/disabled from the Customer-
Programmable Features section of the Uconnect System.
ParkSense can be active only when the gear selector is in REVERSE. If ParkSense is
enabled at this gear selector position, the system will remain active until the vehicle
speed is increased to approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. When in REVERSE
and above the system's operating speed, a warning will appear within the Driver
Information Display (DID) indicating the vehicle speed is too fast. The system will
become active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to speeds less than approxi-
mately 6 mph (9 km/h).
Cleaning The ParkSense Sensors
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS" or "PARKSENSE UNAVAIL-
ABLE WIPE FRONT SENSORS” appears in the “Driver Information Display (DID),”
clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use
rough or hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sensors. Otherwise, you could
damage the sensors.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK-UP CAMERA
You can see an on-screen image of the rear of your vehicle whenever the transmission
is shifted into REVERSE. The ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera image will be
displayed on the radio display screen, located on the center stack of the instrument
panel.
If the radio display screen appears foggy, clean the camera lens located on the rear
of the vehicle above the rear license plate.
Refer to “ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera — If Equipped” in “Understanding The
Features Of Your Vehicle” in your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up; even when using the ParkView Rear
Back-Up Camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to
check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before
backing up. You must continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
