WARNING!  
To avoid serious injury or death:  
Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet  
should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.  
Do not touch with wet hands.  
Close the lid when not in use and while driving the  
vehicle.  
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an  
electric shock and failure.  
Center Console USB Port  
NOTE:  
Depending on vehicle configuration, the USB port may  
be charge only or media file capable.  
Power Outlet  
CAUTION!  
Power is available when the ignition switch is in the  
ON/RUN position.  
Many accessories that can be plugged in draw  
power from the vehicle's battery, even when not  
in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if  
plugged in long enough, the vehicle's battery  
will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life  
and/or prevent the vehicle from moving.  
CAUTION!  
ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS  
Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts  
(13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watts (13 Amps)  
power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the  
system will need to be replaced.  
There is a standard 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlet,  
located in the center console storage compartment,  
for added convenience. This power outlet can power  
mobile phones, electronics and other low power  
devices.  
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,  
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the  
battery even more quickly. Only use these  
intermittently and with great caution.  
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs  
only. Do not insert any other object in the power  
outlets as this will damage the outlet and blow the  
fuse. Improper use of the power outlet can cause  
damage not covered by your New Vehicle Limited  
Warranty.  
After the use of high power draw accessories, or  
long periods of the vehicle not being charged (with  
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle will likely  
need to be charged.

LED Indicator Status:  
The phone’s protective case must be removed when  
placed on the wireless charging pad.  
WIRELESS CHARGING PAD  
No Light: Charging pad is idle or searching for a  
device. Device may not be compatible with the Qi®  
standard.  
Most smartphones are equipped with software to  
protect the device from overheating. When the  
software is active, the rate of charge is slowed down  
to protect the device.  
Blue Light: Device is detected and is charging.  
Red Light/Flashing: Internal error, or foreign object is  
detected.  
2
Phones must always be placed on the wireless  
charging pad within the outline shown on the pad  
so that its charging parts connect with the charging  
coils of the system. Movement of the phone during  
charging may prevent or slow the rate of charge.  
Green Light: Device has completed battery charging  
(if device is equipped to transmit this information).  
Important Notes Regarding This Vehicle’s Wireless  
Charging Pad:  
Having multiple applications open on the phone  
while charging will reduce the charging efficiency,  
and may even shut down an application that is  
actively running (i.e. Apple CarPlay®). This may also  
cause the phone to overheat.  
Wireless Charging Pad  
The presence of the Near-Field Communication  
(NFC) function active on a smartphone could signal  
malfunction anomalies.  
Your vehicle is equipped with a 15W 3A Qi® wireless  
charging pad located below the center stack, within the  
storage compartment. This charging pad is designed to  
wirelessly charge your Qi® enabled mobile phone. Qi® is  
a standard that allows wireless charging of your mobile  
phone.  
The ignition must be in the ON/RUN position in order  
for the phone to charge.  
Wireless chargers may implement certain methods  
to prevent the phone from overheating during  
charging such as slowing down the rate of charge.  
In certain instances, the device may shut down for  
a brief period of time (when the device reaches a  
certain temperature). If this happens, it does not  
mean there is a fault with the wireless charging pad.  
This may just be a protective measure to prevent  
damage to the phone.  
To avoid interference with the key fob search, the  
wireless charging pad will stop charging when any  
door or liftgate is opened, even if the engine is  
running.  
Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi® wireless  
charging. If the phone is not equipped with Qi® wireless  
charging functionality, an aftermarket sleeve or a  
specialized back plate can be purchased from your  
mobile phone provider or a local electronics retailer.  
Please see your phone’s Owner’s Manual for further  
information.  
Be sure to place the mobile device correctly (display  
facing upward, and phone not covering the LED) on  
the wireless charging pad.  
The use of multiple wireless functions at the same  
time (wireless charging, Apple CarPlay®, Android  
Auto) could cause the device to overheat, resulting  
in limitation of the functions or it turning off. In  
this case, it is recommended to connect the system  
using the USB port.  
If the phone moves on the pad causing the red light  
to illuminate, the phone will have to be picked up  
and placed back on the charging pad to resume  
charging.  
The wireless charging pad is equipped with an anti-slip  
mat to hold your mobile phone in place, and an LED  
indicator light.  
Wireless charging is not as fast as when the phone  
is connected to a wired charger.  
Place the device inside the prepared area delimited in  
the mat as shown in the image. Incorrect positioning  
will prevent the phone from charging.  
52 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE  
Do not place the key fob or any other type of metal/  
magnetized object inside the mobile phone housing  
or near the wireless charging pad.  
With a compatible device placed on the charging  
pad, and the ignition is cycled to the OFF position,  
a reminder message may appear on the instrument  
cluster display to warn the driver.  
CAUTION!  
The key fob should not be placed on the charging pad  
or within 6 inches (15 cm) of it. Doing so during the  
charging of the smartphone could cause excessive  
heat buildup and damage to the fob, but the wireless  
charger has a protection system that interrupts the  
charging when a foreign object is detected on the  
pad. Placing the fob in close proximity of the charging  
pad blocks the fob from being detected by the vehicle  
and prevents the vehicle from starting.

WINDOWS  
WARNING!  
POWER WINDOW CONTROLS  
The window controls will operate only when the ignition  
is in the ON/RUN position and for up to three minutes  
after the ignition is placed in the OFF position.  
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, and  
do not let children play with power windows.  
Do not leave the key fob in or near the  
vehicle, or in a location accessible to children.  
Occupants, particularly unattended children, can  
become entrapped by the windows while operating  
the power window switches. Such entrapment may  
result in serious injury or death.  
SUN VISORS  
The windows controls buttons are located on the  
driver’s door trim panel, allowing you to control all the  
door windows. The passenger door windows can also  
be operated by using the single window controls on the  
passenger door trim panel.  
The driver and passenger sun visors are located on the  
headliner, near the front windshield. The sun visors can  
be rotated downward or up against the door glass. The  
passenger sun visor is equipped with a vanity mirror.  
AUTOMATIC WINDOW FEATURES  
Both the driver and front passenger windows, and if  
equipped, both rear windows, may have Auto-Down and  
Auto-Up operations.
