reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes. FCA provides a
green indicator,

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

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.
