Some vehicles may be equipped with a rear cupholder that
consists of two cup wells for rear passenger convenience.Rear Cup Wells
Electrical Power Outlets

The auxiliary 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlet can provide
power for in-cab accessories designed for use with the stan -
dard “cigar lighter” plug. The 12 Volt power outlets and 5 Volt
(2.5 Amp) USB Port (Charge Only) have a cap attached to the
outlet indicating “12V DC,” together with either a key symbol,
battery symbol, or USB symbol.
A key symbol indicates that the key must be in the ON/RUN
or ACC positions for the outlet to provide power. The battery
symbol indicates that the outlet is connected to the battery,
and can provide power at all times.
CAUTION!

• 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.

• 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.2

connected to the outlet(s) should be removed or turned off
when the vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against
discharge.
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.

174 SAFETY
AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With Mitigation — If
Equipped
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system with mitiga-
tion provides the driver with audible warnings, visual warn -
ings (within the instrument cluster display), and may apply
a brake jerk to warn the driver when it detects a potential
frontal collision. The warnings and limited braking are
intended to provide the driver with enough time to react,
avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the forward looking
sensors as well as the Electronic Brake Controller (EBC), to
calculate the probability of a forward collision. When the
system determines that a forward collision is probable, the
driver will be provided with audible and visual warnings as
well as a possible brake jerk warning.
If the driver does not take action based upon these progres -
sive warnings, then the system will provide a limited level of
active braking to help slow the vehicle and mitigate the
potential forward collision. If the driver reacts to the warn -
ings by braking and the system determines that the driver intends to avoid the collision by braking but has not applied
sufficient brake force, the system will compensate and
provide additional brake force as required.
If a FCW with Mitigation event begins at a speed below
32 mph (52 km/h), the system may provide the maximum
braking possible to mitigate the potential forward collision.
If the Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation event
stops the vehicle completely, the system will hold the vehicle
at standstill for two seconds and then release the brakes.
