Electrical Power Outlets
Your vehicle is equipped with one 12 Volt (13 Amp) power
outlet on the instrument panel and one 12 Volt (13 Amp)
power outlet in the center console that can be used to
power cellular phones, small electronics and other low
powered electrical accessories. The power outlets are la-
beled with either a “key” or a “battery” symbol to indicate
how the outlet is powered. Power outlets labeled with a
“key” are powered when the ignition switch is in the ON or
ACC position, while the outlets labeled with a “battery”
are connected directly to the battery and powered at all
times.
NOTE:
•All accessories connected to the “battery” powered
outlets should be removed or turned off when the
vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against
discharge.
The front power outlet is located inside the storage area on
the center stack of the instrument panel.
WARNING!
Do not place ashes inside the cubby bin located on the
center console on vehicles not equipped with the ash
receiver tray. A fire leading to bodily injury could
result.

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.
CAUTION!
• 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 suffi-
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
• 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 greater caution.
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
•After the use of high power draw accessories or long
periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces-
sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the alternator to
recharge the vehicle’s battery.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only.
Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory
bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power
outlet can cause damage.

charging, you must obtain an aftermarket wireless-enabled
case and then install the case on your phone. Set the phone
on the wireless charging pad face up. The charging indi-
cator on your phone will light up indicating that your
phone is charging.
NOTE:
The charging pad is safe to the touch. However, if
metallic items are placed on the charging surface while in
use, the device will turn off. Clean all spills immediately
and allow to dry before using.
For phones that already have built-in wireless charging
capability (Samsung, Apple iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X
Phones), a Qi Adapter is available to charge your phone
using the Open Dot wire-free phone charging surface.
Simply place the Qi Adapter (dot side down) on the
charging surface and then place your built-in charging
capable phone face up on top of the Qi Adapter. This
product may not be compatible with all vehicle/Open Dots
compatible wire-free phone charging surface combina-
tions.

CAUTION!
The key fob should not be placed on the charging pad
or within 15 cm (150 mm) of it. Doing so can cause
excessive heat buildup and damage to the fob. Placing
the fob in close proximity of the charging pad blocks
the fob from being detected by the vehicle and pre-
vents the vehicle from starting.
