Jeep Wrangler: Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With Mitigation — If Equipped / Turning FCW On Or Off
The FCW button is located in the Uconnect
display in the control settings.
- To turn the FCW system on, press the forward
collision button once.
- To turn the FCW system off, press the forward
collision button once.
NOTE:
- When the FCW is “on”, this allows the system
to warn the driver of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front.
- When the FCW is “off”, this prevents the
system from warning the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front. If the FCW
is set to “off”, “FCW OFF” will be displayed in
the instrument cluster display.
- When FCW status is set to “Only Warning”,
this prevents the system from providing
limited active braking, or additional brake
support if the driver is not braking adequately
in the event of a potential frontal collision.
- When FCW status is set to “Warning and
Braking”, this allows the system to warn the
driver of a possible collision with the vehicle
in front using audible/visual warnings and it
applies autonomous braking.
- The system will retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shutdown.
The FCW with Mitigation system provides the
driver with audible warnings, visual warnings
(within the instrument cluster display), and may
apply a haptic warning in the form of a brake
jerk, to warn the driver when it detects a
potential frontal collision...
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...
Other information:
The fuel/water separator housing is located
inside the left frame rail in front of the fuel tank.
The best access to this water drain valve is from
under the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Do not drain the fuel/water separator filter
when the engine is running...
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/
Chime mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side view mirror
based on a detected object. If the turn signal is
then activated, and it corresponds to an alert
present on that side of the vehicle, an audible
chime will also be sounded...
