Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS)

The Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS) feature allows the device to detect when you are not maintaining a safe distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. The device will determine your vehicle's speed using GPS and calculate an estimated safe following distance based off of your speed.

When the device detects that you are too close to the vehicle in front of you, the device plays an audible alert, and a warning appears on the screen.

• In order for the feature to alert, you must be travelling in excess of 40 mph (65 km/h). If you slow to a speed of less than 40 mph, the feature will not alert.
• The FCWS may not detect vehicles that are more than 130 FT (40m) away or closer than 16 FT (5m).  

• If you are on a Bluetooth phone call when an alert is needed, phone call audio will temporarily be muted so the alert can be heard.

The Following Instances can Cause the Device to be Unable to Detect a Vehicle in Front of You:

• Inclement weather, including:
  • Rain
  • Fog
  • Snow
  • Sun or headlight glare
  • Darkness
• A vehicle in front of you is a large truck or bus
