Driving and Operating

A
amber if the vehicle crosses a
detected lane marking. Additionally, there
may be three beeps, or the driver seat may
pulse three times, on the right or left,
depending on the lane departure direction.
Take Steering
The LKA system does not continuously steer
the vehicle. If LKA does not detect active
driver steering, an alert and chime may be
provided. Steer the vehicle to dismiss. LKA
may become temporarily unavailable after
repeated take steering alerts.
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.
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.
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. See
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. Plug the vehicle in
when temperatures are below 0 °C (32 °F)
and above 32 °C (90 °F) to maximize high
voltage battery life.
Charge times will vary based on battery
condition, charge level, and outside
temperature. See
for charge mode selection.
If equipped, the vehicle can be charged
using DC charging equipment typically found
at service stations and other public
locations.
