Distance Setting (ACC Only)
• To set or change the distance setting, press the Distance button and release. Each time
the button is pressed, the distance setting adjusts between long (3), medium (2), and
short (1). The distance setting will default to the last set mode the next time the vehicle is
restarted and the ACC system is turned on.
• The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between 3 (long), 2 (medium), and 1 (short). Using this distance setting and the vehicle
speed, ACC calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance setting
displays in the EVIC.
Mode (ACC Only)
• If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be
operated as a standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control. When in the standard (fixed speed)
Cruise Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the system will
maintain the speed you set.
• To change modes, press the MODE button when the system is in either the OFF,
READY, or SET position. Cruise Ready will be displayed if the system was in ACC
READY or ACC SET position. Cruise Off will be displayed if the system was in the ACC
OFF position. To switch back to Adaptive Cruise Control mode, press the MODE button
a second time.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
Forward Collision Warning
• The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible and visual
warnings within the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) when it detects a
potential frontal collision. The warnings are intended to provide the driver with enough
time to react and avoid the potential collision.
Changing FCW Status
• The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the Uconnect Touch™
system.
•Far
• Near
•Off
NOTE: The FCW settings can only be changed when the vehicle is in PARK.
Far
• The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting.
• 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.
• This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration) recommendations.
• More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
