The power outlet is on the rear of the
center console.
An indicator light on the outlet turns on to
show it is in use. The light comes on when
the ignition is on, equipment requiring less
than 150 watts is plugged into the outlet,
and no system fault is detected.
The indicator light does not come on when
the ignition is off or if the equipment is not
fully seated into the outlet.
If equipment is connected using more than
150 watts or a system fault is detected, a
protection circuit shuts off the power supply
and the indicator light turns off. To reset
the circuit, unplug the item and plug it backin or turn the Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) off and then back on. See
Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0217. The power
restarts when equipment using 150 watts or
less is plugged into the outlet and a system
fault is not detected.
The power outlet is not designed for and
may not work properly, if the following are
plugged in:
.Equipment with high initial peak wattage,
such as compressor-driven refrigerators
and electric power tools
.Other equipment requiring an extremely
stable power supply, such as
microcomputer-controlled electric blankets
and touch sensor lamps
.Medical equipment
Wireless Charging
If equipped, the vehicle has wireless
charging in the storage bin at the front of
the floor console. 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 amp (15W), as requested by the
compatible smartphone. See Radio
Frequency Statement 0371.
{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. See Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) 0217.
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.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the charging pad
before charging your compatible
smartphone. Objects, such as coins, keys,
rings, paper clips, or cards, between the
smartphone and charging pad will
become very hot. On the rare occasion

Warning (Continued)
that the charging system does not detect
an object, and the object gets wedged
between the smartphone and charger,
remove the smartphone and allow the
object to cool before removing it from
the charging pad, to prevent burns.
To charge a compatible smartphone:1. Remove all objects from the charging pad. The system may not charge if there
are any objects on the charging pad.
2. Place the smartphone face up on the charging pad. To maximize the charge rate, ensure the
smartphone is fully seated and centered
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
$will display next to theVon
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. This may require
rotating the phone 180 degrees and
waiting 3 seconds before placing/aligning
the smartphone on the pad again. The
smartphone may become warm during
charging. This is normal. In warmer
temperatures, the speed of charging may
be reduced. Software Acknowledgements

When the ignition is on, the fuel gauge
indicates about how much fuel is left in
the tank.
An arrow on the fuel gauge indicates the
side of the vehicle the fuel door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the low
fuel light comes on. There is a small amount
of fuel left, but the fuel tank should be
filled soon.
Here are three things that some owners ask
about. None of these show a problem with
the fuel gauge:
.It takes a little more, or less fuel to fill up
than the gauge indicated. For example,
the gauge may have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a little
more, or less than half the tank's capacity
to fill the tank.
.The gauge moves a little while turning a
corner, speeding up or braking.
.The gauge takes a few seconds to
stabilize after the ignition is turned on
and goes back to empty when the
ignition is turned off.
Engine Oil Temperature Gauge
Metric
English
This gauge shows the engine oil
temperature.
If the gauge pointer moves into the high
end, it means that the engine oil has
overheated. If the vehicle has been operated
under normal driving conditions, pull off the
road, stop the vehicle, and turn off the
engine as soon as possible.
See Engine Oil 0276.
