POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt Power Inverter outlet
located on the right side of the vehicle, before the
third row of seats to convert DC current to AC
current. The Power Inverter can power cellular
phones, electronics and other low power devices
requiring up to 150 Watts. Certain video game consoles will exceed this
power limit, as will most power tools.

Power Inverter

The Power Inverter turns on when the device is
plugged in, and the ignition is in ON/RUN position.
It turns off when the device is unplugged or the
ignition is no longer in ON/RUN position.
The Power Inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the Power Inverter shuts
down. Once the electrical device has been
removed from the Power Inverter, it resets. To
avoid overloading the circuit, check the power
ratings on electrical devices prior to using the
Power Inverter.
WIRELESS CHARGING PAD —
I
F EQUIPPED

Wireless Charging Pad Location

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.). Eventu -
ally, 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
degrade the battery even more quickly. Only
use these intermittently and with greater
caution.
After the use of high power draw accessories,
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.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.
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.

92GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi
wireless charging pad located inside of the storage
area below the climate controls. This charging pad
is designed to wirelessly charge your Qi enabled
mobile phone. Qi is a standard that allows wireless
charging of your mobile phone.
Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi
wireless 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 to hold your mobile phone in place,
and an LED indicator light.
LED Indicator Status:
No Light: Charging pad is idle or searching for a
device.
Blue Light: Device is detected and is charging.
Red Light/Flashing: Internal error or foreign
object is detected.
NOTE:
All vehicle doors must be closed for the wireless
charging pad to operate.
Using a phone case may interfere with wireless
charging.
CIGAR LIGHTER — IF EQUIPPED
NOTE:Cigar lighters can be purchased at an authorized
dealer through Mopar® parts.
The cigar lighter is located at the bottom of the
instrument panel. Push lighter inward to heat.
After a few seconds, the lighter automatically
returns to its initial position and is ready to be
used.
SMOKER'S PACKAGE KIT — IF EQUIPPED
With the optional authorized dealer-installed
Smoker's Package Kit, a removable ash receiver is
inserted into one of the two cupholders in the
center floor console. To install the ash receiver,
align the receiver so the thumb grip on the lid is
facing rearward. Push the ash receiver into either
of the cup wells to secure. Pull upward on the ash
receiver to remove for cleaning and/or storage.
The left rear trim panel cupholder is designed to
accommodate a second ash receiver, if desired.
CAUTION!
The key fob should not be placed on the
charging pad or within 6 in (15 cm) 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.
WARNING!
When the cigar lighter is in use it becomes very
hot. To avoid serious injury, handle the cigar
lighter with care. Always check that the cigar
lighter has turned off.
CAUTION!
Do not connect devices with power higher than
180 Watts (15 Amps) to the socket. Do not
damage the socket by using unsuitable
adaptors. If the 180 Watt (15 Amp) power rating
is exceeded the fuse protecting the system will
need to be replaced.

AUTOMATIC WINDOW FEATURES
Auto-Down Feature
The driver and front passenger door power window
switches have an Auto-Down feature. Push the
window switch down for a short period of time,
then release, and the window will go down
automatically.
To stop the window from going all the way down
during the Auto-Down operation, pull up on the
switch briefly.

Lift the window switch up for a short period of time
and release; the window will go up automatically.
To stop the window from going all the way up

switch briefly.
To close the window part way, lift the window
switch briefly and release it when you want the
window to stop.
If the window runs into any obstacle during
auto-closure, it will reverse direction and then go
back down. Remove the obstacle and use the
window switch again to close the window.
NOTE:Any impact due to rough road conditions may
trigger the auto-reverse function unexpectedly
during auto-closure. If this happens, pull the switch
lightly and hold to close the window manually.
RESET AUTO UP
To reactivate the Auto Up feature, perform the
following steps after vehicle power is restored:

1. Pull the window control up to close the
window completely and continue to hold the
control up for an additional two seconds after
the window is closed.
2. Push the window control down firmly to the
second detent to open the window completely
and continue to hold the control down for an

WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception
of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound
in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting
with the windows down, or the sunroof (if
equipped) in certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be
minimized. If the rear windows are open and
buffeting occurs, open the front and rear windows
together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting
occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof
opening to minimize the buffeting.
WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection when the
window is almost closed. To avoid personal
injury be sure to clear your arms, hands, fingers
and all objects from the window path before
closing.
