Drive smarter and safer with a used vehicle featuring Forward Collision Warning (FCW) from McGrath Acura of Westmont. This advanced safety system helps reduce the risk of front-end collisions by alerting you when a potential impact is detected. Whether you're navigating busy Westmont streets or commuting to Chicago, Forward Collision Warning gives you an extra layer of confidence behind the wheel.

What Is Forward Collision Warning?

Forward Collision Warning uses radar, cameras, or sensors to monitor the traffic ahead. If the system detects that you're approaching another vehicle or obstacle too quickly, it issues an audible and visual alert to prompt the driver to take action. In many vehicles, FCW works in tandem with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) to apply brakes automatically if a collision is imminent.

Benefits of Forward Collision Warning

Vehicles equipped with Forward Collision Warning deliver a safer and more responsive driving experience. Key benefits include:

Early Alerts: Provides a warning when vehicles ahead slow suddenly or stop unexpectedly.
Reduced Accidents: Studies show FCW systems can help reduce rear-end crashes by up to 27%.
Added Confidence: Keeps drivers more aware in stop-and-go traffic or highway driving.
Integration with Other Safety Systems: Works with Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and other driver aids.
Lower Insurance Costs: Vehicles with active safety systems often qualify for insurance discounts.
