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 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.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may occasionally provide alerts that you consider
unnecessary. It could respond to a turning vehicle
ahead of you, guard rails, signs, and other stationary
objects. This is normal operation, your vehicle does not
need service.
