Instruments and Controls 75
INT :Move the lever up to INT for
intermittent wipes, then turn the
Nband
up for more frequent wipes or down for less
frequent wipes.
OFF : Use to turn the wipers off.
1X : For a single wipe, briefly move the
wiper lever down. For several wipes, hold
the wiper lever down.
f: Pull the windshield wiper lever
toward you to spray washer fluid and
activate the wipers. The wipers will continue
until the lever is released or the maximum
wash time is reached. When the lever is
released, additional wipes may occur
depending on how long the windshield
washer had been activated. See Washer
Fluid 0249 for information on filling the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
Clear snow and ice from the wiper blades
and windshield before using them. If frozen
to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw
them. Damaged blades should be replaced.
See Wiper Blade Replacement 0252.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper
motor.
{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use the
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
{Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always clear
snow and ice from the hood, windshield,
roof, and rear of the vehicle, including all
lamps and windows. Reduced visibility
from snow and ice buildup could lead to
a crash.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the wipers
are on LO, HI, or INT, they will
immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper lever is then moved
to OFF before the driver door is opened or
within 10 minutes, the wipers will restart
and move to the base of the windshield. If the ignition is turned off while the wipers
are performing wipes due to windshield
washing, the wipers continue to run until
they reach the base of the windshield.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass display on
the center stack. The compass receives its
heading and other information from the
Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna,
Electronic Stability Control, and vehicle
speed information.
The compass system is designed to operate
for a certain number of miles or degrees of
turn before needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass display shows
CAL, drive the vehicle for a short distance in
an open area where it can receive a GPS
signal. The compass system will
automatically determine when a GPS signal
is restored and provide a heading again.
Clock
Set the time and date using the
infotainment system. See "Time / Date"
under
Settings 0153.

Caution (Continued)
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. SeeRadio
Frequency Statement 0316.
{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, or during Bluetooth phone
calls. See
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
0 194.
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. A message may be displayed
on the infotainment display indicating that
the system is unable to charge due to high
temperature while the charger or the phone
is above or below these operating ranges.
{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.
Ensure the smartphone is fully seated
and 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 placed in the charging
pocket and
$does not appear, remove
the smartphone from the pocket, and
turn it 180 degrees.
The smartphone may become warm
during charging. This is normal. In
warmer temperatures, the speed of
charging may be reduced.
