Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is designed to detect a vehicle, a powered two-wheeler, a pedestrian, or a cyclist ahead on the road and may warn the driver of a possible collision with a warning message on the Instrument Cluster and a warning sound.

FCA may also assist with braking the vehicle to potentially reduce the effects of a possible collision. When the system detects a potential collision it initially emits an audible warning and visual alert on the Instrument Cluster . If FCA detects that the collision risk has increased, it may automatically apply the brakes.

Junction Turning function may help avoid a collision with an oncoming vehicle detected in an adjacent lane when turning left at a crossroad with the turn signal on by applying emergency braking.

Junction Crossing function may help avoid a collision with oncoming vehicles detected on the left or right side when crossing an intersection by applying emergency braking.(Junction Crossing)

Direct Oncoming Response function may reduce the vehicle speed and temporarily apply braking when FCA detects a vehicle is approaching directly in front.

Lane-Change Oncoming function may help avoid a possible collision with a detected oncoming vehicle when changing lanes by assisting the driver’s steering.

Lane-Change Side function may help avoid a possible collision with the vehicle detected ahead in the next lane when changing lanes by assisting the driver’s steering.

Evasive Steering Assist function may help avoid a possible collision with a vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist detected ahead in the same lane. When a risk of collision is detected, Evasive Steering Assist function will warn the driver and if the driver steers to avoid collision it may assist the driver’s steering.

If FCA detects a risk of collision with a pedestrian or cyclist, it may warn the driver and potentially assist the driver’s steering.
