Jeep 2016 CHEROKEE Operating Information Manual - page 122
Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the
system from warning you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you.
Changing the Active Braking status to “Off”
prevents the system from providing limited au-
tonomous braking, or additional brake support if
the driver is not braking adequately in the event
of a potential frontal collision.
NOTE:
The FCW system state is kept in memory
from one key cycle to the next. If the system
is turned OFF, it will remain off when the
vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW And Active Braking
Status
The FCW Sensitivity And Active Braking Set-
tings are programmable through the Uconnect®
System. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting
and the Active Braking is the “On” setting, 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.
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting,
allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you when
you are much closer. This setting provides less
reaction time than the “Far” setting, which al-
lows for a more dynamic driving experience.
NOTE:
•
The system will retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut
down.
•
FCW may not react to irrelevant objects
such as overhead objects, ground reflec-
tions, objects not in the path of the car,
stationary objects that are far away, on-
coming traffic, or leading vehicles with
the same or higher rate of speed.
•
FCW will be disabled like ACC, with the
unavailable screens.
FCW Limited Warning
If the system turns off, and the DID displays
“ACC/FCW Limited Functionality” or “ACC/
FCW Limited Functionality Clean Front Wind-
shield” momentarily, there may be a condition
that limits FCW functionality. Although the ve-
hicle is still drivable under normal conditions,
the active braking may not be fully available.
Once the condition that limited the system per-
formance is no longer present, the system will
return to its full performance state. If the prob-
lem persists, see your authorized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the DID displays:
•
ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required
•
Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system fault.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under nor-
mal conditions, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.
