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

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.

Departure :The vehicle will
schedule charging to complete by
the programmed departure time.
The vehicle estimates the charging
schedule based on programmed
departure times, charge rate limits,
electric rate preference and
schedule, and priority charging
settings. If there is not sufficient
time after the charge cord is
plugged in, the vehicle will not be
fully charged by the departure time.

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.

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.
