Alerting the Driver
The FCA alert symbol
will flash and a warning
beep will sound
when driver action may
be required.
The alert symbol will flash when:
• Your vehicle is approaching another vehicle
too quickly.
• Your vehicle is following a vehicle ahead of
you much too closely.
See Defensive Driving on page 296 for more
information.
Detecting the Vehicle Ahead
The vehicle ahead symbol, located next to the
FCA symbol, will only appear 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 173.
