DRIVING AND OPERATING

Tailgating Alert

The vehicle ahead indicator will
display amber when you are following
a detected vehicle ahead much too
closely.

Selecting the Alert Timing

The Collision Alert control is on the
steering wheel. Press

[

to set the

FCA timing to Far, Medium, Near,
or on some vehicles, Off. The first
button press shows the current setting
on the DIC. Additional button presses
will change this setting. The chosen
setting will remain until it is changed
and will affect the timing of both the
Collision Alert and the Tailgating
Alert features. The timing of both
alerts will vary based on vehicle speed.
The faster the vehicle speed, the
farther away the alert will occur.
Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the alert
timing. The range of selectable alert
timing may not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions.

If equipped with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), changing the FCA
timing setting automatically changes
the ACC following gap setting (Far,
Medium, or Near).

Following Distance Indicator

The following distance to a moving
vehicle ahead in your path is indicated
in following time in seconds on the

Driver Information Center (DIC). See

Driver Information Center (DIC)

.

The minimum following time is
0.5 seconds away. If there is no vehicle
detected ahead, or the vehicle ahead is
out of sensor range, dashes will be
displayed.

Unnecessary Alerts

FCA may provide unnecessary alerts
for turning vehicles, vehicles in other
lanes, objects that are not vehicles,
or shadows. These alerts are normal
operation and the vehicle does not
need service.

Cleaning the System

If the FCA system does not seem to
operate properly, this may correct the
issue:

.

Clean the outside of the
windshield in front of the rearview
mirror.

.

Clean the entire front of the
vehicle.

.

Clean the headlamps.
