while the ignition is off. Use this
power outlet for plugging in the
battery maintainer, if equipped.
{Warning
Power is always supplied to the
underhood outlet. 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
20 amp rating.Certain electrical accessories 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 0208.
It is recommended that a qualified
technician or dealer be seen for the
proper installation of your
equipment.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.
Wireless Charging
If equipped, the vehicle has a
wireless charging pocket between
the driver and passenger seatbacks.
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 3 amps
(15W), as requested by the
compatible smartphone. See Radio
Frequency Statement 0312.
{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.
SeeRetained Accessory Power
(RAP) 0168.
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 smartphone.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the
charging pocket before charging
your compatible smartphone.
Objects, such as coins, keys,
rings, paper clips, or cards,
between the smartphone and the
charger 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 the charger, remove the
smartphone and allow the object
to cool before removing it from
the charging pocket, to prevent
burns.
To charge a compatible smartphone:
1. Remove all objects from the charging pocket. The system
may not charge if there are any
objects between the
smartphone and charging
pocket.
2. Place the smartphone with screen facing out of the
charging pocket.
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 working, or may reduce
the charging performance. See
your dealer for additional
information.
3. A green
$next toVwill appear
on the infotainment display.
This indicates that the
smartphone is properly
positioned and charging. If
$
turns yellow, ensure that the
charging pad is clear of any
objects and that the
smartphone is capable of
wireless charging before
repositioning it. If a smartphone
is placed in the charging
pocket and
$does not appear,
remove the smartphone from
the pocket, turn it 180 degrees,
and wait three seconds before
inserting the smartphone in the
pocket again.
The smartphone may become
warm during charging. This is
normal. In warmer
temperatures, the speed of
charging may be reduced.

safety information. The overhead
console has a passenger airbag
status indicator.
United States
Canada and Mexico
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator
will light ON and OFF, or the
symbols for on and off, for several
seconds as a system check. Then,
after several more seconds, the
status indicator will light either ON
or OFF, or the on or off symbol, to
let you know the status of the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag. If the word ON or the on symbol is
lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag is
allowed to inflate.
If the word OFF or the off symbol is
lit on the airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, if there
are no lights at all, or if the airbag
readiness light is on, there may be a
problem with the lights or the
passenger sensing system. See
your dealer for service right away.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others,
have the vehicle serviced right

away. SeeAirbag Readiness
Light 0100 for more information,
including important safety
information.
Charging System Light
The charging system light comes on
briefly when the ignition is turned
on, but the engine is not running, as
a check to show the light is working.
The light turns off when the engine
is started. If it does not, have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer.
If the light stays on, or comes on
while driving, there may be a
problem with the electrical charging
system. Have it checked by your
dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.

Warning (Continued)
you are on fairly level ground,
always set the parking brake and
shift to P (Park).
If you have to leave the vehicle with
the engine running, be sure the
vehicle is in P (Park) and the
parking brake is set before you
leave it.
Shifting out of Park
This vehicle is equipped with an
electronically controlled
transmission.
If the vehicle has a battery with low
voltage, try charging or jump
starting the battery. See Jump
Starting - North America 0267.
To shift out of P (Park):
1. Ensure the engine is running.
2. Apply the brake pedal. 3. Press or pull the desired switch
on the center console. For
N (Neutral) press and hold the
N (Neutral) switch until the N
indicator illuminates red.
The P indicator will turn white and
the gear indicator on the shift switch
will turn red when the vehicle is no
longer in P (Park).
If the vehicle cannot shift from
P (Park), a Driver Information
Center (DIC) message will display.
See your dealer for service.Parking over Things
That Burn
{Warning
Things that can burn could touch
hot exhaust parts under the
vehicle and ignite. Do not park
over papers, leaves, dry grass,
or other things that can burn.
Active Fuel Management
This vehicle's engine may be
equipped with Active Fuel
Management, which allows the
engine to operate on either all or
half of its cylinders, depending on
the driving conditions.
When less power is required, such
as cruising at a constant vehicle
speed, the system will operate in
the half cylinder mode, allowing the
vehicle to achieve better fuel
economy. When greater power
demands are required, such as
accelerating from a stop, passing,
or merging onto a highway, the
system will maintain full-cylinder
operation.
If the vehicle has an Active Fuel
Management indicator, see Driver
Information Center (DIC) for more
information on using this display.
Extended Parking
It is best not to park with the vehicle
running. If the vehicle is left running,
be sure it will not move and there is
adequate ventilation.
