Thanks! I think all this new technology is like having heated seats. Don't need them or want them until you don't have them. I'm impressed with the ACC and Blind Spot.
I have the tech package too. All messages are on the EVIC, or the triangles on the mirrors. The timing on the EVIC displays seems very well executed, so you know what is going on. It's all quite intuitive after you operate a few times. Also, any heavy braking is felt which also serves to warn the driver. It's operates very smoothly and it's quite seamless and well executed IMO. You do need to experience it! Pretty slick.
Yesterday I had a car pass me in the left lane and too quickly cut in front of me and quickly slow down to make a right exit (big jerk). The ACC braked my vehicle smoothly to avoid close call and allow the other guy to exit. After the other (jerk) vehicle exited got out of my lane, the JGC sped up to the cruise setting very smoothly. Impressive.
OH....and there is no head-up display on the windshield. I had that in my past Acadia....it was a nice feature. The EVIC seems to work fine tho...IMO.
Is there a way to test or see the FCW work? My ACC works great but I guess I don't understand how or when the FCW is supposed to work.
Does it only work when the ACC is on and or engaged? I have tried coming up behind a stopped car without touching the brakes but nothing happens and at the last second I apply the brakes to keep from running into the back of the stopped car. The owners manual does not seem to tell me much.

Congrats on the new Jeep IndyBob! During my 3k miles so far the FCW has only gone off twice. Once some dummy slammed the brakes to make a last sec. turn and the other time was during a sharp turn with a mail box just off the road. Both times I was going around 50mph. So maybe speed has something to do with it.
Make a snowman this weekend and run it over at high speed, see if that works..
