can be used at the same time but cannot be used
simultaneously while playing media. When both
Type C and Type A charge-only USB ports are in use
they will be charged at a reduced rate.
NOTE:If the audio device battery is completely
discharged, it may not communicate with the USB
control system until a minimum charge is attained.
Leaving the audio device connected to the USB
control system may charge it to the required level.

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS
Your vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (13 Amp)
power outlets that can be used to power cellular
phones, small electronics and other low powered
electrical accessories. The power outlets are
labeled with either a key or a battery symbol to
indicate how the outlet is powered. Power outlets
labeled with a key symbol are powered when the
ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position, while
the outlets labeled with a battery symbol are
connected directly to the battery, and are powered
at all times.
NOTE:
All accessories connected to the battery
powered outlets should be removed or turned
off when the vehicle is not in use to protect the
battery against discharge.
Do not exceed the maximum power of 160
Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watt
(13 Amp) power rating is exceeded the fuse
protecting the system needs to be replaced.
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.
The front power outlet is located to the right of the
climate controls.
