IN BRIEF 21
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 when following a
vehicle much too closely. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
quickly, FCA provides a flashing red
alert on the windshield and rapidly
beeps or pulses the driver seat.
See Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System 0228.
Forward Automatic
Braking (FAB)
If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), 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)
0 231.
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 180 km/h (112 mph).
See Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
0 234 and Lane 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) 0232
and Lane Change Alert (LCA) 0232.
Rear Vision Camera (RVC)
RVC displays 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.

12460272) - 2019 - crc - 5/8/18
22 IN BRIEF
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) System
If equipped, the RCTA system shows 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, or the driver seat will pulse.
SeeAssistance 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 a graphic on the instrument
cluster to provide the object distance.
In addition, multiple beeps or seat
pulses may occur if very close to an
object.
The vehicle may also have the Front
Park Assist system. See
Assistance Systems for Parking or
Backing 0224.
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) it also has the RAB
system, which is designed to help
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
backing crashes when the vehicle is
shifted into R (Reverse). If the system
detects the vehicle is backing too fast
to avoid a crash with a detected object
behind your vehicle in your path, it
may automatically brake hard to
a stop.
See Assistance Systems for Parking or
Backing 0224.
Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets can be
used to plug in electrical equipment,
such as a cell phone or MP3 player. The vehicle has two accessory power
outlets:
.
Inside the instrument panel
storage area below the climate
control system.
. On the rear of the center floor
console.
Lift the cover to access the accessory
power outlet.
See Power Outlets 0108.
Universal Remote System

The climate control system will use
the previous settings during a remote
start. The rear window defogger may
come on during a remote start based
on cold ambient conditions. The rear
defog indicator light does not come on
during remote start.
If equipped with heated seats, they
may come on during a remote start.
See Heated Front Seats 061.
If equipped with a remote start heated
steering wheel, it may come on during
a remote start. See Heated Steering
Wheel 0105.

restrict the use of remote starters. For
example, some laws may require a
person using remote start to have the
vehicle in view. Check local
regulations for any requirements.
If the vehicle is low on fuel, do not
use the remote start feature. The
vehicle may run out of fuel. The RKE transmitter range may be
less while the vehicle is running.
Other conditions can affect the
performance of the transmitter. See

vehicle may affect vehicle operation.
SeeAdd-On Electrical Equipment 0240.
See your dealer if assistance is needed.
The vehicle may not pass
inspection if:
. The light is on when the engine is
running.
. The light does not come on when
the ignition is in Service Mode.
. Critical emission control systems
have not been completely
diagnosed. If this happens, the
vehicle would not be ready for
inspection and might require
several days of routine driving
before the system is ready for
inspection. This can happen if the
12-volt battery has recently been
replaced or run down, or if the
vehicle has been recently serviced.
See your dealer if the vehicle will not
pass or cannot be made ready for
the test.Brake System Warning
Light
The vehicle brake system consists of
two hydraulic circuits. If one circuit is
not working, the remaining circuit can
still work to stop the vehicle. For
normal braking performance, both
circuits need to be working.
If the warning light comes on, there is
a brake problem. Have the brake
system inspected right away.
MetricEnglish
This light should come on briefly
when the engine is started. If it does
not come on then, have it fixed so it
will be ready to warn you if there is a
problem.
If the light comes on and stays on,
there is a brake problem.
{Warning
The brake system might not be
working properly if the brake
system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light
on can lead to a crash. If the light is
still on after the vehicle has been
pulled off the road and carefully
stopped, have the vehicle towed for
service.
Parking Brake Light
MetricEnglish
This light comes on when the parking
brake is applied. If the light continues
flashing after the parking brake is
released, or while driving, there is a
problem with the Electric Parking

display in the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
If the light does not come on,
or remains flashing, see your dealer.
Service Electric Parking
Brake Light
This light should come on briefly
when starting the vehicle. If it does
not come on, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn if there is a problem.
If this light stays on, there is a
problem with the Electric Parking
Brake system or another system on
the vehicle that is causing the parking
brake system to work at a reduced
level. The vehicle can still be driven,
but should be taken to a dealer as
soon as possible. See the informationfor the Electric Parking Brake under

A message may also display in the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
This light comes on briefly when the
engine is started.
If the light does not come on, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn if
there is a problem.
If the light comes on while driving,
stop as soon as it is safely possible
and turn off the vehicle. Then start
the engine again to reset the system.
If the ABS light stays on, or comes on
again while driving, the vehicle needs
service. A chime may also sound when
the light comes on steady. If the ABS light is the only light on,
the vehicle has regular brakes, but the
antilock brakes are not functioning.
If both the ABS and the brake system
warning light are on, the vehicle's
antilock brakes are not functioning
and there is a problem with the
regular brakes. See your dealer for
service.
See
Brake System Warning Light 0122.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
Light
If available, this light comes on briefly
while starting the vehicle.
If it does not come on, have the
vehicle serviced.
This light is green if LKA is available
to assist.
