vehicle. Attached objects may also
interfere with the detection of
vehicles. This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not need
service.
LCA may not always alert the driver
to vehicles in the next lane over,
especially in wet conditions or when
driving on sharp curves. The system
does not need to be serviced. The
system may light up due to
guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs, and
other non-moving objects. This is
normal system operation; the
vehicle does not need service.
LCA may not operate when the LCA
sensors in the left or right corners of
the rear bumper are covered with
mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush, or in
heavy rainstorms. For cleaning
instructions, see "Washing the
Vehicle" underExterior Care0301.
If the DIC still displays the system
unavailable message after cleaning
both sides of the vehicle toward the
rear corners of the vehicle, see your
dealer. If the LCA displays do not light up
when moving vehicles are in the
side blind zone or rapidly
approaching this zone and the
system is clean, the system may
need service. Take the vehicle to
your dealer.
Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)
If equipped, LDW may help avoid
crashes due to unintentional lane
departures. It may provide a
warning if the vehicle is crossing a
detected lane marking without using
a turn signal in the lane departure
direction. Since this system is part
of the Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
system, read the entire LKA section
before using this feature.
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 providea Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
system alert as the lane marking is
crossed. The LKA system will not
assist or provide an LDW 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).
{Warning
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
It may not keep the vehicle in the
lane or give a Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) alert, even if a
lane marking is detected. The
LKA and LDW systems may not:
. Provide an alert or enough
steering assist to avoid a
lane departure or crash.
. Detect lane markings under
poor weather or visibility
conditions. This can occur if
the windshield or
headlamps are blocked by

dirt, snow, or ice, if they are
not in proper condition, or if
the sun shines directly into
the camera.
. Detect road edges.
. Detect lanes on winding or
hilly roads.
If LKA only detects lane markings
on one side of the road, it will
only assist or provide an LDW
alert when approaching the lane
on the side where it has detected
a lane marking. Even with LKA
and LDW, you must steer the
vehicle. Always keep your
attention on the road and
maintain proper vehicle position
within the lane, or vehicle
damage, injury, or death could
occur. Always keep the
windshield, headlamps, and
camera sensors clean and in
good repair. Do not use LKA in
bad weather conditions.
{Warning
Using LKA on slippery roads
could cause loss of control of the
vehicle and a crash. Turn the
system off.
How the System Works
The LKA camera sensor is on the
windshield ahead of the rearview
mirror.
To turn LKA on and off, press
A
on the steering wheel.
When on,

approaches a detected lane marking
without using a turn signal in that
direction. It may also provide an
LDW alert by flashing
Aamber
as the lane marking is crossed. Additionally, there may be three
beeps on the right or left, depending
on the lane departure direction.
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
If LKA does not detect active driver
steering, an alert and chime may be
provided. Move the steering wheel
to dismiss.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The system performance may be
affected by:
.
Close vehicles ahead.
. Sudden lighting changes, such
as when driving through tunnels.
. Banked roads.
. Roads with poor lane markings,
such as two-lane roads.

Driving and Operating 231
If the LKA system is not functioning
properly when lane markings are
clearly visible, cleaning the
windshield may help.
LKA assistance and/or LDW alerts
may occur due to tar marks,
shadows, cracks in the road,
temporary or construction lane
markings, or other road
imperfections. This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not need
service. Turn LKA off if these
conditions continue.Charging
When to Charge
When the high voltage battery is
getting low, charging messages may
display.
The CHARGE VEHICLE SOON
message indicates that the driving
range is low and the vehicle needs
to be charged soon. As the charge
level drops, the PROPULSION
POWER IS REDUCED message is
displayed and the accelerator pedal
response is reduced. In addition, the
remaining range value will change
to LOW indicating the vehicle
should be charged immediately.
When the energy is fully depleted,
the OUT OF ENERGY, CHARGE
VEHICLE NOW message displays
and the vehicle slows to a stop.
Brake and steering assist will still
operate. Once the vehicle has
stopped, turn the vehicle off.
SeeBattery and Charging
Messages 0135 andPropulsion
Power Messages 0139.
Plug-In 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 from
a fully depleted battery 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 0124 for
charge mode selection.

232 Driving and Operating
If equipped, the vehicle can be
charged using DC charging
equipment typically found at service
stations and other public locations.
When using a DC charging station
with at least 80 kW of available
power, it will take approximately
30 minutes to recharge from a
depleted battery to an estimated
145 km (90 mi) of driving range.
This time estimate is applicable to
nominal temperature ranges. In
extreme hot or cold conditions, this
time may be lengthened. A full
charge will take additional time.
The charging system may run fans
and pumps that result in sounds
from the vehicle while it is turned
off. Additionally, clicking sounds
may be caused by the electrical
devices used while charging.
The vehicle cannot be driven while
the charge cord is plugged into the
vehicle.Charging Override
