GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE91
If equipped, there may be a 115 Volt (400 Watts
maximum) inverter located to the right of the
center stack, just below the climate controls.
This inverter can power cellular phones, elec -
tronics and other low power devices requiring
power up to 400 Watts. Certain high-end video
game consoles exceed this power limit, as will
most power tools.

Center Stack Power Inverter

To turn on the power outlet, simply plug in the
device. The outlet turns off when the device is
unplugged.
NOTE:
The Power Inverter only turns on if the igni -
tion is in the ACC or ON/RUN mode.
Due to built-in overload protection, the power
inverter shuts down if the power rating is
exceeded.
Wireless Charging Pad — If Equipped

Wireless Charging Pad
Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi
wireless charging pad located inside of the
center console. This charging pad is designed to
wirelessly charge your Qi enabled mobile
phone. Qi is a standard that uses magnetic
induction to transfer power to your mobile
device.
Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi wire
-
less 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.
The wireless charging pad is equipped with an
anti-slip mat, an adjustable cradle to hold your
mobile phone in place and an LED indicator
light.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Do not insert any objects into the recepta -
cles.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an
electric shock and failure.
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
prevents the vehicle from starting.

CAUTION!
When installing the power distribution
center cover, it is important to ensure the
cover is properly positioned and fully
latched. Failure to do so may allow water to
get into the power distribution center and
possibly result in an electrical system
failure.
When replacing a blown fuse, it is important
to use only a fuse having the correct
amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a
rating other than indicated may result in a
dangerous electrical system overload. If a
properly rated fuse continues to blow, it
indicates a problem in the circuit that must
be corrected.WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is
frozen. It could rupture or explode and cause
personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or
any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.

RADIO OPERATION AND MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile phone
being on in your vehicle can cause erratic or
noisy performance from your radio. This condi -
tion may be lessened or eliminated by relo -
cating the mobile phone antenna. This
condition is not harmful to the radio. If your
radio performance does not satisfactorily
“clear” by the repositioning of the antenna, it is
recommended that the radio volume be turned
down or off during mobile phone operation
when not using Uconnect (if equipped).
