Warning the Driver
The alert symbol will flash
on the HUD and a warning
beep will sound when driver
action may be required.
The driver warning is active when:
• You are approaching a vehicle too quickly.
• You are following a vehicle ahead much too closely.
See Defensive Driving on page 4-2 for more
information.
Detecting the Vehicle Ahead
The vehicle ahead symbol will only appear on the HUD
when a vehicle ahead of you is detected in your
path. If this symbol does not appear, or disappears
briefly, FCA will not respond to vehicles you may see
ahead. The symbol may disappear on curves, highway
exit ramps, or hills. Also, when another vehicle enters
the same lane as you, the FCA system will not
detect the vehicle until it is completely in your
driving lane.
{CAUTION:
When the Adaptive Cruise Control radar is
blocked by snow, ice, or dirt, it may not detect
a vehicle ahead. FCA may not help you avoid a
collision under these conditions. Do not use
FCA when the radar is blocked by snow, ice,
or dirt. Keep your radar clean. See “Cleaning
the System” under Adaptive Cruise Control on
page 3-19.
{CAUTION:
FCA may not detect and warn soon enough to
stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other
objects ahead of you. You could crash into an
object ahead of you. Do not rely on FCA when
approaching stationary or slow-moving
vehicles or other objects.
