Jeep Wrangler: Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With Mitigation — If Equipped / FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity
The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking status
are programmable through the Uconnect
system.
- Far
- When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the
“Far” setting and the system status is
“Only Warning”, this allows the system to
warn the driver of a possible more distant
collision with the vehicle in front using
audible/visual warnings.
- More cautious drivers that do not mind
frequent warnings may prefer this
setting.
- Medium
- When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the
“Medium” setting and the system status
is “Only Warning”, this allows the system
to warn the driver of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front using audible/
visual warnings.
- Near
- When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the
“Near” setting and the system status is
"Only Warning”, this allows the system to
warn the driver of a possible closer collision
with the vehicle in front using
audible/visual warnings.
- This setting provides less reaction time
than the “Far” and “Medium” settings,
which allows for a more dynamic driving
experience.
- More dynamic or aggressive drivers that
want to avoid frequent warnings may
prefer this setting.
The FCW button is located in the Uconnect
display in the control settings.

collision button once.

If the instrument cluster displays “ACC/FCW
