IN BRIEF 19
Automatic Transfer Case
This transfer case knob is to the left
of the steering column.
The different drive options that may
be available are the following:
2
m(Two-Wheel Drive High) :This
setting is used for driving in most
street and highway situations.
AUTO (Automatic Four-Wheel
Drive) : This setting is ideal for use
when road surface traction conditions
are variable. Do not use AUTO mode to park on a
steep grade with poor traction such as
ice, snow, mud or gravel. In AUTO
mode only the rear wheels will hold
the vehicle from sliding when parked.
If parking on a steep grade, use 4
mto
keep all four wheels engaged.
4
m(Four-Wheel Drive High) : Use
this setting when extra traction is
needed, such as on snowy or icy roads
or in most off-road situations.
N (Neutral) : Shift to this setting only
when towing the vehicle. See Towing
the Vehicle 0345.
4
n(Four-Wheel Drive Low) : Choose
4
nwhen driving in deep sand, mud,
or snow, and while climbing or
descending steep hills.
See Four-Wheel Drive 0214.

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 0237.
Park Assist
If equipped, Front and Rear Park
Assist (FRPA) uses sensors on the
front and rear bumpers to assist with
parking and avoiding objects during
low speed parking maneuvers.
It operates at speeds less than 8 km/h
(5 mph). FRPA may display 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 a higher
speed Backing Warning System and
the Reverse Automatic Braking
system.
See
Driver Assistance Systems 0236.
Automatic Parking
Assist (APA)
If equipped, the APA system helps to
search for and maneuver the vehicle
into parallel or perpendicular parking
spots using automatic steering,
displays, and beeps. When the vehicle
speed is below 30 km/h (18 mph),
touch
Oto enable the system.
See “Automatic Parking Assist (APA)”
under Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0237.
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 0237.

. The power outlets in the third row
seat and in the rear cargo area are
powered at all times.
{Warning
Power is always supplied to the
outlets. Do not leave electrical
equipment plugged in when the
vehicle is not in use because the
vehicle could catch fire and cause
injury or death.
Caution
Leaving electrical equipment
plugged in for an extended period
of time while the vehicle is off will
drain the battery. Always unplug
electrical equipment when not in
use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum 15 amp
rating. Certain power accessory plugs may
not be compatible with the accessory
power outlet and could overload
vehicle or adapter fuses. If a problem
is experienced, see your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment, be
sure to follow the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. See
Add-On Electrical
Equipment 0275.
Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from the
power outlet can cause damage not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
The power outlets are designed for
accessory power plugs only, such as
cell phone charge cords.
Power Outlet 110/120 Volt
Alternating Current
This power outlet can be used to plug
in electrical equipment that uses a
maximum limit of 150 watts.
The 110/120 volt power outlet is on
the rear of the center console. An indicator light on the outlet turns
on to show it is in use. The light
comes on when the vehicle is started,
equipment requiring less than 150
watts is plugged into the outlet, and
no system fault is detected.
The indicator light does not come on
when the ignition is off or if the
equipment is not fully seated into the
outlet.
If equipment is connected using more
than 150 watts or a system fault is
detected, a protection circuit shuts off
the power supply and the indicator
light turns off. To reset the circuit,
unplug the item and plug it back in or
turn the ignition off and then back to
on. The power restarts when
equipment using 150 watts or less is
plugged into the outlet and a system
fault is not detected.
The power outlet is not designed for
the following, and may not work
properly if they are plugged in:
.
Equipment with high initial peak
wattage, such as
compressor-driven refrigerators
and electric power tools

130 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
.Other equipment requiring an
extremely stable power supply,
such as microcomputer-controlled
electric blankets and touch sensor
lamps
. Medical equipment.
Wireless Charging
The system operates at 145 kHz and
wirelessly charges one Qi compatible
smartphone. The power output of the
system is capable of charging at a rate
up to 1 amp (5W), as requested by the
compatible smartphone. See Radio
Frequency Statement 0387.
{Warning
Wireless charging can affect the
operation of an implanted
pacemaker or other medical devices.
If you have one, it is recommended
to consult with your doctor before
using the wireless charging system.
The vehicle must be on, in ACC/
ACCESSORY, or Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) must be active. The wireless charging feature may not
correctly indicate charging when the
vehicle is in RAP. See
Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0206.
The operating temperature is −20 °C
(−4 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) for the
charging system and 0 °C (32 °F) to
35 °C (95 °F) for the phone.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the
charging pad before charging your
compatible smartphone. Objects,
such as coins, keys, rings, paper
clips, or cards, between the
smartphone and charging pad will
become very hot. On the rare
occasion that the charging system
does not detect an object, and the
object gets wedged between the
smartphone and charger, remove
the smartphone and allow the
object to cool before removing it
from the charging pad, to prevent
burns.
To charge a compatible smartphone:
1. Remove all objects from the charging pad. The system may
not charge if there are any
objects between the smartphone
and charging pad.
2. Place the smartphone face up against the rear of the
charge pad.
To maximize the charge rate,
ensure the smartphone is fully
seated and centered in the holder
with nothing under it. A thick
smartphone case may prevent
the wireless charger from
