Forward Collision Warning FCW
4.1. What is FCW?
The Forward Collision Warning alerts you to the danger of an impending collision
with the vehicle ahead. The Mobileye AWS-2000 calculates the expected Time to
Collision (TTC) with the vehicle in front and, when the TTC drops to a dangerous
level, the AWS/FCW immediately generates a sharp audio alert.
4.2 FCW is Generated When…
An FCW is generated up to 2.7 seconds prior to possible collision with the vehicle in
front.
4.3. FCW Audio Alert
An FCW audio alert is a series of loud, high-pitched beeps which effectively draw
your attention to the emergency.
4.4. FCW Activation
The FCW function is active at any speed.
4.5. When is FCW Not Generated?
FCW is always active unless the system has been turned off.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Forward Collision Warning is a critical alert that cannot
be disabled or muted. However, if the system is turned off, no warnings will
be issued, including FCW.
