Note: Power is available whenever the vehicle
is considered "awake". The vehicle may be
awake for many reasons. For example, when
using features such as Summon, or when features such as Cabin Overheat Protection,Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, Sentry Mode,
etc. are enabled. The vehicle is also awake
whenever the 12V battery is being charged or
is in use, during HV charging, when the vehicle
is communicating with the mobile app, etc. Leaving an accessory plugged in does notdeplete the 12V battery.
Note: Always use USB 2.0 compliant cables
when connecting devices to the USB ports.
Using non-compliant cables can result in
slower charging and, if plugged into either of the front two ports, can result in potential connection problems or degraded
performance when trying to access media files
on the device.
Note: Do not connect multiple devices using a
USB hub. This can prevent connected devices from charging or from being recognized by
Media Player, Sentry Mode, Dashcam, etc.
