FCA warning message and function control

FCA produces warning messages, warning alarms, and emergency braking based on the level of risk of a frontal collision, such as when a vehicle ahead suddenly brakes, or when the function detects that a collision with a pedestrian is imminent.

The driver can select the initial warning activation time in the User Settings in the LCD display. The options for the initial Forward Collision Warning include Early, Normal or Late initial warning time.

Collision Warning (1st warning)

The warning message appears on the LCD display with the warning alarms.

Additionally, some vehicle intervention occurs by the engine management function to help decelerate the vehicle.

The vehicle may slow down slightly.

It will operate if the vehicle speed is greater than 10 km/h (6 mph) and less than or equal to 180km/h (110 mph) on a forward vehicle. (Depending on the condition of the vehicle ahead and the environment surrounding it, the possible maximum operating speed may be reduced.)
For pedestrian and cyclist, the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 10 km/h (6 mph) and less than 85 km/h (53 mph). (Depending on the condition of pedestrian and cyclist and the surrounding environment the possible maximum operating speed may be reduced.)
- If you select "Warning only", FCA activates and produces only warning alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels. You should control the brake directly because FCA do not control the brake.

Emergency Braking (2nd warning)

The warning message appears on the LCD display with the warning alarms.

Additionally, some vehicle function intervention occurs by the engine management function to help decelerate the vehicle.

The vehicle may slow down slightly.

It will operate if the vehicle speed is greater than 10 km/h (6 mph) and less than or equal to 75 km/h (46 mph) on a forward vehicle. (Depending on the condition of the vehicle ahead and the environment surrounding it, the possible maximum operating speed may be reduced.)
For pedestrian and cyclist, the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 10 km/h (6 mph) and less than 85 km/h (52 mph). (Depending on the condition of pedestrian and cyclist and the surrounding environment the possible maximum operating speed may be reduced.)
- If you select "Warning only", FCA activates and produces only warning alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels. You should control the brake directly because FCA do not control the brake.
