An auxiliary power outlet can be found in the
tray on top of the center stack. This power outlet
works when the ignition is in the ON/RUN, ACC,
or OFF position.

Power Outlet — Top Of Center Stack

Power Outlet Fuse Locations:
F104 Fuse 20 A Yellow UCI Port/ USB Rear
Center Console
F90 Fuse 20 A Yellow Instrument Panel
Power Outlet Battery Fed (If Equipped)
F91 Fuse 20 A Yellow Instrument Panel
Power Outlet Ignition Fed (If Equipped)
F93 Fuse 20 A Yellow Cigar Lighter/ Instru -
ment Panel Power Outlet (If Equipped)
When the vehicle is turned off, be sure to
unplug any equipment as to not drain the
battery of the vehicle. All accessories connected
to the outlet(s) should be removed or turned off
when the vehicle is not in use to protect the
battery against discharge.
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.
CAUTION! (Continued)
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 sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will
discharge the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and with
greater caution.
After the use of high power draw accesso -
ries, or long periods of the vehicle not being
started (with accessories still plugged in),
the vehicle must be driven a sufficient
length of time to allow the generator to
recharge the vehicle's battery.

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.

PICKUP BOX
The pickup box has many features designed for
utility and convenience.

Pick Up Box Features

NOTE:
If you are installing a Toolbox, Ladder Rack or
Headache Rack at the front of the Pickup Box,
you must use Mopar Box Reinforcement
Brackets that are available from an authorized
dealer. You can carry wide building materials (sheets of
plywood, etc.) by building a raised load floor.
Place lumber across the box in the indentations
provided above the wheel housings and in the
bulkhead dividers to form the floor.
1 — Cleats
2 — Upper Load Floor Indents
3 — Bulk Head Dividers
4 — Anchors
WARNING!
The pickup box is intended for load carrying
purposes only, not for passengers, who
should sit in seats and use seat belts.
Care should always be exercised when
operating a vehicle with unrestrained
cargo. Vehicle speeds may need to be
reduced. Severe turns or rough roads may
cause shifting or bouncing of the cargo that
may result in vehicle damage. If wide
building materials are to be frequently
carried, the installation of a support is
recommended. This will restrain the cargo
and transfer the load to the pickup box
floor.

20_DJD2_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 92

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE93
There are stampings in the sheet metal on the
inner side bulkheads of the box in front of and
behind both wheel housings. Place wooden
boards across the box from side to side to
create separate load compartments in the
pickup box.
There are four tie-down cleats bolted to the
lower sides of the pickup box that can sustain
loads up to 1000 lbs (450 kg) total.
Cargo Camera — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cargo
Camera that allows you to see an image of the
inside of the pickup box. The image will be
displayed in the Uconnect screen.
The Cargo Camera is located in the bottom
center area of the Center High-Mounted
Stoplamp (CHMSL).
A touchscreen button to indicate the current
active camera image being displayed is made
available whenever the Cargo Camera image is
displayed.
A touchscreen button to switch the display to
rear view camera image is made available
whenever the Cargo Camera image is displayed.
A touchscreen button "X" to disable display of
the camera image is made available when the
vehicle is not in REVERSE gear.
A display timer is initiated when the Cargo
Camera image is displayed. The image will
continue to be displayed until the display timer
exceeds 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is
above 8 mph (13 km/h) or the touchscreen
button "X" to disable display of the Cargo
Camera image is pressed. Cargo Camera With Dynamic Centerline (Avail
-
able With Surround View Camera Only) — If
Equipped
The Dynamic Centerline feature provides an
overlay on the Cargo Camera display screen
that aligns to the center of the pickup box to aid
in hooking up a fifth wheel camper or goose -
neck trailer. The centerline auto aligns to the
center of the pickup box, and can also be manu -
ally adjusted. The centerline will adjust in
response to steering angle inputs, and will not
obstruct the gooseneck receiver or an
approaching trailer gooseneck in the camera
feed.
Activation
The Dynamic Centerline feature can be acti -
vated through the Uconnect settings by
pressing the Cargo Camera soft button,
followed by the “Adjust Centerline” soft button
on the touchscreen.
If the Dynamic Centerline feature is turned on,
the overlay will display anytime the Cargo
Camera image is displayed.If you wish to carry more than 600 lbs
(272 kg) of material suspended above the
wheelhouse, supports must be installed to
transfer the weight of the load to the pickup
box floor or vehicle damage may result. The
use of proper supports will permit loading
up to the rated payload.
Unrestrained cargo may be thrown forward
in an accident causing serious or fatal
injury.
