Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) System
If equipped, FCA may help avoid or
reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes. FCA provides a
green indicator,
V, when a vehicle
is detected ahead. This indicator
displays amber if you follow a
vehicle much too closely. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
quickly, FCA provides a red flashing
alert on the windshield and rapidly
beeps.
See Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System 0222.
Forward Automatic
Braking (FAB)
If the vehicle has Forward Collision
Alert (FCA), it also has FAB, which
includes Intelligent Brake
Assist (IBA). When the system
detects a vehicle ahead in your path
that is traveling in the same
direction that you may be about to
crash into, it can provide a boost to
braking or automatically brake the
vehicle. This can help avoid or
lessen the severity of crashes when
driving in a forward gear.
See Forward Automatic Braking
(FAB) 0224.
Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System
If equipped, the FPB system may
help avoid or reduce the harm

Warning
Leaving children in a vehicle with
the RKE transmitter is dangerous
for many reasons; children or
others could be badly injured or
even killed. They could operate
the power windows or other
controls or even make the vehicle
move. The windows will function
with the RKE transmitter in the
vehicle and they could be
seriously injured or killed if caught
in the path of a closing window.
Do not leave the RKE transmitter
in a vehicle with children.(Continued)

Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
The ABS warning light will come on
briefly when the vehicle is started.
This is normal. If the light does not
come on then, have it fixed so it will
be ready to warn if there is a
problem.
If the light stays on or comes on
while driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the vehicle off.
Then start the vehicle again to reset
the system. If the light still stays on,
or comes on again while driving, the
vehicle needs service. See your
dealer. If the regular brake system
warning light is not on, the brakes
will still work, but the antilock brakes
will not work. If the regular brake
system warning light is also on, theantilock brakes will not work and
there is a problem with the regular
brakes.

Charge Current Limit Selection
The charge current limit setting
allows the vehicle’s charge current
to be selected so it matches the
capability of the charging location.
If the vehicle consistently stops
charging after being plugged in, or if
a circuit breaker continues to trip,
reducing to a lower charge current
limit setting may resolve the issue.
The charge current limit setting
should be configured to match the
electrical current rating for the
electrical outlet that the charge cord
is connected to. On the Charge
Mode tab, change the Charge Limit
selection between:
. 12 amps
. 8 amps Exact current levels may vary from
the values shown in this manual.
Check the vehicle for the available
levels.
The charge limit can be changed
and saved using Location Based
Charging settings. The default value
is the lower current limit. The charge
current limit will reset to the lower
value when the vehicle is shifted
from P (Park) unless the Location
Based Charging feature is active
and set to retain this preference.
See
“Location Based Charging” later
in this section.
{Warning
Using a charge level that exceeds
the electrical circuit or electrical
outlet capacity may start a fire or
damage the electrical circuit. Use
the lowest charge level until a
qualified electrician inspects the
electrical circuit capacity. Use the
lowest charge level if the
electrical circuit or electrical outlet
capacity is not known. Electric Rate Preference
The vehicle estimates the charging
start time based on the utility rate
schedule, utility rate preference, and
programmed departure time for the
current day of the week. The vehicle
will charge during the least
expensive rate periods to achieve a
full battery charge by the departure
time. Electrical rate information from
the utility company for the charging
location is required for this mode.
If the selected charge mode is
Departure, then electric rate
preference selection will display.
Electric Rate Preference Selection
From the Charge Mode tab on the
Charging screen with Departure
charge mode selected, touch More
to select the Electric Rate
Preference.

of Charge Limit Preference and the Charge Mode will be set to
Immediate. When Location Based
Charging is on and the vehicle is
away from the saved home location,
then the selection for the charge
mode will be disabled and the
