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 0227.
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) 0229.
Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System
If equipped, the FPB system may
help avoid or reduce the harm
caused by front-end crashes with
nearby pedestrians when driving in
a forward gear. FPB displays an
amber indicator,
~, when a nearby
pedestrian is detected directly
ahead. When approaching a

FPB provides a red flashing alert on
the windshield and rapidly beeps.
FPB can provide a boost to braking
or automatically brake the vehicle.
SeeFront Pedestrian Braking (FPB)
System 0230.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help avoid
crashes due to unintentional lane
departures. It may assist by gently
turning the steering wheel if the
vehicle approaches a detected lane
marking without using a turn signal
in that direction. It may also provide
a Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
alert as the lane marking is crossed.
The system will not assist or alert if
it detects that you are actively
steering. Override LKA by turning
the steering wheel. LKA uses a
camera to detect lane markings
between 60 km/h (37 mph) and
150 km/h (93 mph).
See Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
0 234 andLane Keep Assist (LKA)
0 234.
Lane Change Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the LCA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists
drivers with avoiding lane change
crashes that occur with moving
vehicles in the side blind zone (or
spot) areas or with vehicles rapidly
approaching these areas from
behind. The LCA warning display
will light up in the corresponding
outside mirror and will flash if the
turn signal is on. The Side Blind
Zone Alert (SBZA) system is
included as part of the LCA system.
See Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
0 232 andLane Change Alert (LCA)
0 232.
Rear Vision
Camera (RVC)
If equipped, RVC shows a view of
the area behind the vehicle on the
infotainment display when the
vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse) to
aid with parking and low-speed
backing maneuvers. See
Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0224.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) System
If equipped, the RCTA system uses
a triangle with an arrow on the
infotainment display to warn of
traffic behind your vehicle that may
cross your vehicle's path while in
R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will
sound.
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0224.
Park Assist
If equipped, Rear Park Assist (RPA)
uses sensors on the rear bumper to
assist with parking and avoiding
objects while in R (Reverse).
It operates at speeds less than
8 km/h (5 mph). RPA may show a
warning triangle on the infotainment
display and/or a graphic on the
instrument cluster to provide the
object distance. In addition, multiple
beeps may occur if very close to an
object.

Battery and Efficiency
High Voltage Safety
Information
{Warning
Exposure to high voltage can
cause shock, burns, and even
death. The high voltage
components in the vehicle can
only be serviced by technicians
with special training.
High voltage components are
identified by labels. Do not
remove, open, take apart,
or modify these components.
High voltage cable or wiring has
orange covering or labels. Do not
probe, tamper with, cut, or modify
high voltage cable or wiring.
This vehicle has a high voltage
battery and a standard 12-volt
battery. If the vehicle is in a crash, the
sensing system may shut down the
high voltage system. When this
occurs, the high voltage battery is
disconnected and the vehicle will
not start. The SERVICE VEHICLE
SOON message in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) will be
displayed. Before the vehicle can be
operated again, it must be serviced
at your dealer.
{Warning
Damage to the high voltage
battery or high voltage system
can create a risk of electric shock,
overheating, or fire.
If the vehicle is damaged from a
moderate to severe crash, flood,
fire, or other event, the vehicle
should be inspected as soon as
possible. Until the vehicle has
been inspected, store it outside at
least 15 m (50 ft) from any

for important safety information.
If an airbag has inflated, see What
Will You See after an Airbag
Inflates? 076.
Only a trained service technician
with the proper knowledge and tools
should inspect, test, or replace the
high voltage battery. See your

needs service.
See Battery - North America 0265.
Charging
This section explains the process
for charging the high voltage battery.
Do not allow the vehicle to remain in
temperature extremes for long
periods without being driven or
plugged in. It is recommended that
the vehicle be plugged in when
temperatures are below 0 °C (32 °F)
and above 32 °C (90 °F) to
maximize high voltage battery life.
When using a 120-volt AC electrical
outlet, it will take approximately
50 hours to charge the vehicle with
the 12 amp AC current setting,
allowing approximately 6 km (4 mi)
for every hour of charging.
When using a 240-volt charging
station, it will take approximately
9.5 hours to charge the vehicle with
the 32 amp setting, allowing
approximately 40 km (25 mi) for
every hour of charging.
Charge times will vary based on
battery condition, charge level, and
outside temperature. See
Programmable Charging 0132 for
charge mode selection. The charging system may run fans
and pumps that result in sounds
from the vehicle while it is turned
off. Additional unexpected clicking
sounds may be caused by the
electrical devices used while
charging.
The vehicle does not require indoor
charging area ventilation before,
during, or after charging.
While the charge cord is plugged
into the vehicle, the vehicle cannot
be driven.
Charging Override
A CHARGING OVERRIDE/
INTERRUPTION OCCURRED

DC Charging (If Equipped)
DC Charging Station Hardware
Check the charge station DC
vehicle plug for compatibility with
the DC charge port on this vehicle.
When recharging at a DC fast
charge station, the power cable
connected to the vehicle must be
less than 10 m (33 ft) in length.
Follow the steps listed on the
charging station to perform a DC
vehicle charge.
If for any reason DC charging does
not begin or is interrupted, check
the DC charge station display for
messages. Unplug to restart the DC
charge process.

26 In Brief
may not open on the first
attempt. Remove ice from the
area and repeat attempting to
open the charge port door.
3. Unlatch the DC charging dustcover and lower it fully.
4. Plug in the DC vehicle plug into the DC charge port on the
vehicle. Make sure that the DC
vehicle plug is fully connected
to the DC charge port. If it is
not properly seated then the
charge may not occur. Proper
plug connection can be
checked by information on
the DIC. 5. Follow the steps listed on the
charging station to start
charging. The Electric Parking
Brake will automatically apply
once the charge process has
been started.
6. Once charging, the DC vehicle plug will be locked to the DC
charge port and cannot be
disconnected while charging is
active.
7. Verify that the Charging Status Indicator illuminates on top of
the instrument panel and an
audible chirp occurs. See
Charging Status Feedback
0241.
Caution
Do not attempt to disconnect the
DC vehicle plug while charging is
active. This action may damage
vehicle or charging station
hardware. Stop Charge
Controls on the charging station can
be used to stop the charge process
at any time.
To stop the charge when inside the
vehicle, you may use the stop
charging button on the Charging
screen. See
Programmable
Charging 0132.
There is also an available mobile
app with several charging functions.
See KeyPass 045.
Stop Charge —Automatic
When the vehicle no longer needs
to use power from the charging
station, it will stop charging and the
DC vehicle plug will be unlocked
from the DC charge port.
Energy can still be consumed from
the charging station when the
vehicle’s displays and indicators
show that the battery is fully
charged. This is to ensure the
battery is in optimal temperature
operating range to maximize vehicle
range. See Programmable Charging
0 132.
