268 Driving and Operating
Without Head-Up Display
When the vehicle approaches a pedestrian
or bicyclist ahead too rapidly, the red FPB
alert display will flash on the windshield.
Eight rapid high-pitched beeps will sound
from the front, or both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat will pulse five times. When this
Pedestrian Alert occurs, the brake system
may prepare for driver braking to occur
more rapidly which can cause a brief, mild
deceleration. Continue to apply the brake
pedal as needed. Cruise control may be
disengaged when the Front Pedestrian Alert
occurs.
Automatic Braking
If FPB detects it is about to crash into a
pedestrian or bicyclist directly ahead, and
the brakes have not been applied, FPB may
automatically brake moderately or brake
hard. This can help to avoid some very low
speed pedestrian and bicyclist crashes or
reduce pedestrian injury. FPB can automatically brake to detected pedestrians
or bicyclists between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). Automatic braking levels
may be reduced under certain conditions,
such as higher speeds.
FPB may slow the vehicle to a complete
stop to try and avoid a potential collision
with a pedestrian or bicyclist. If this
happens, automatic braking may engage the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB) to hold the
vehicle at a stop. Firmly press the
accelerator pedal to release automatic
braking and the EPB.
{Warning
FPB may alert or automatically brake the
vehicle suddenly in situations where it is
unexpected and undesired. It could falsely
alert or brake for objects similar in shape
or size to pedestrians or bicyclists,
including shadows. This is normal
operation and the vehicle does not need
service. To override Automatic Braking,
firmly press the accelerator pedal, if it is
safe to do so.
Automatic Braking can be disabled through
vehicle settings. To view available settings
from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems..
{Warning
Using the Front Pedestrian Braking
system while towing a trailer could cause
you to lose control of the vehicle and
crash. Turn the system to Alert or Off
when towing a trailer.
Cleaning the System
If FPB does not seem to operate properly,
cleaning the outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror may correct the
issue.
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
The SBZA system is a lane-changing aid that
assists drivers with avoiding crashes that
occur with moving vehicles in the side blind
zone, or blind spot areas. When the vehicle
is in a forward gear, the left or right side
mirror display will light up if a moving
vehicle is detected in that blind zone. If the
turn signal is activated and a vehicle is also
detected on the same side, the display will

270 Driving and Operating
zone. If the turn signal is activated in the
same direction as a detected vehicle, this
display will flash as an extra warning not to
change lanes.
LCA can be disabled through vehicle
personalization.To view available settings
from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems. If LCA is disabled by the driver, the
LCA mirror displays will not light up.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The LCA system requires some driving for
the system to calibrate to maximum
performance. This calibration may occur
more quickly if the vehicle is driven on a
straight highway road with traffic and
roadside objects (e.g., guardrails, barriers).
LCA displays may not come on when
passing a vehicle quickly or for a stopped
vehicle. LCA may alert to objects attached to
the vehicle, such as a bicycle, or object
extending out to either side of the 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" under
Exterior Care0379. 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.
Driving with a Trailer
If equipped with Lane Change Alert (LCA),
the LCA detection zones that extend back
from the side of the vehicle do not move
further back when a trailer is towed. Use caution while changing lanes when
towing a trailer.
Bicycle Detection
If equipped, the system may detect a
bicyclist approaching from the side or rear
of the vehicle.
If this occurs, a chime will sound in the
direction of the detection, and the Safety
Alert Seat will pulse if enabled through
vehicle settings. To view available settings
from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems.
Bicyclist Detection is available when the
vehicle is in D (Drive), P (Park), and for a
short time after the vehicle is turned off.
If the vehicle detects a bicyclist when it is
off, a DIC message may display and alert to
the direction of the detection. In some
cases, an Unavailable message may display.
This is normal and does not mean that the
system is broken.
Detection Zones
When the vehicle is in P (Park) or is turned
off, a bicyclist can be detected 11 m (36 ft)
behind the vehicle or 10 m (33 ft) to the
side of the vehicle.

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.
If the LKA system is not functioning
properly when lane markings are clearly
visible, cleaning the windshield may help.
A camera blocked message may display if
the camera is blocked. Some driver
assistance systems may have reduced
performance or not work at all. An LKA or
LDW unavailable message may display if the
systems are temporarily unavailable. This
message could be due to a blocked camera. The LKA system does not need service. Clean
the outside of the windshield behind the
rearview mirror.
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.

Important Information about Portable Electric
Vehicle Charging
.Charging an electric vehicle can stress a
building’s electrical system more than a
typical household appliance.
.Before plugging the charge cord into any
electrical outlet, have a qualified
electrician inspect and verify the electrical
system (electrical outlet, wiring, junctions,
and protection devices) is suitable for a
heavy-duty service.
.Electrical outlets may wear out with
normal usage or may be damaged over
time, making them unsuitable for electric
vehicle charging.
.Check the electrical outlet/plug while
charging and discontinue use if the
electrical outlet/plug is hot, then have the
electrical outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician.
.When outdoors, plug into an electrical
outlet that is weatherproof while in use.
.Do not attempt to use the charge cord
with non-utility supplied electrical power
sources such as backup generating
equipment.
.If the charge cord overheats, remove from
direct sunlight.
.Disconnect the charge cord from the
vehicle before disconnecting the
attachment plug from the wall.
.When charging your vehicle, ensure all
components are connected properly, there
is no damage, and the outlet has power.
.Do not use the charge cord in severe
weather conditions.

the charging. If this error continues, stop
charging your vehicle. See your dealer for
service.
Charge Level Selection
Charge level selection can be made using
the Charging tab in the Energy Application
on the infotainment display. For instructions
to set cord limit settings for a charge
session, seeCharging0123.
{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.
Troubleshooting
Disconnect the charge cord from the vehicle
and confirm that the attachment plug is not
too hot to grasp before removing. If it is not hot, manually reboot the charge
cord by unplugging and re-plugging the
attachment plug into the electrical outlet.
If the same fault reoccurs, test the charge
cord with a different electrical outlet.
The charge cord monitors temperature at
several locations and may reduce charging
power or interrupt charging if temperatures
become too high. The charge cord status
indicators illuminate and identify this fault.
In hot climates, move the charge cord away
from direct sunlight and/or hot surfaces
such as asphalt paving for approximately
30 minutes.
If there are signs of melting or scorching, do
not touch the charge cord or attachment
plug. Have a qualified electrician inspect and
repair the issue.
If there are no signs of damage, check how
firm the fit of the plug is. If the plug easily
pulls away from the electrical outlet, test
the plug on a known good electrical outlet.
If the fault condition returns, have your
charge cord inspected by your dealership.
If the fault does not return, stop using the
suspected circuit and have a qualified
electrician inspect and repair the issue.
Grounding Instructions
The charge circuit must be grounded. If the
charge circuit should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for the electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
{Warning
Improper connection of the charge cord
ground may cause electrical shock. Check
with a qualified electrician if there is
doubt as to whether the charge circuit is
properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the product. If it will
not fit the electrical outlet, have a proper
electrical outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

Utility Interruption of Charging
This vehicle responds to requests through
the utility company to limit or completely
block electrical power grid use. This feature
is inactive during DC charging. A utility
interruption will lengthen the vehicle
charge time.
When electrical grid power is completely
blocked, the vehicle will not charge until the
utility interruption has expired. The vehicle
should be left plugged in so that the vehicle
will automatically resume charging.
Changing the charge mode to Charge Now
or performing a delayed charging override
will not disable a utility interruption.
A message will display on the instrument
cluster indicating that a utility interruption
has occurred.
Charging Station Troubleshooting
If the vehicle does not charge after being
plugged in to a residential 240-volt charging
station:1. Verify that the charge mode is set to Charge Now.
2. Verify that the charging station circuit breaker is not tripped. 3. Plug the portable charge cord into the
wall outlet, verify that the indicator light
on the charge cord is solid green, and
connect it to the vehicle. See “Charge
