I
F EQUIPPED
Wireless Charging Pad
Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi
wireless charging pad located inside of the center
console. This charging pad is designed to
wirelessly charge your Qi enabled mobile phone.
Qi is a standard that uses magnetic induction to
transfer power to your mobile device.
Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi
wireless charging.

NOTE:

Do not place the key fob or any other type of
metal/magnetized object inside the mobile
phone housing or near the wireless charging
pad.
Be sure to place the mobile device correctly
(display facing upward) on the wireless
charging pad.
The ignition must be in the ON/RUN position in
order for the phone to charge.
To avoid interference with the key fob search,
the wireless charging pad will stop charging
when any door is opened.
The following messages will display in the radio
system:
“Your Phone Is Being Charged” — The phone
has begun to charge.
“Phone Fully Charged” — The phone has
completed charging its battery.
“Foreign Object Detected” — The phone is not
enabled for wireless charging or an object that
is not permitted has been placed on the
wireless charging pad.
“Unavailable System” — There is a malfunction
with the wireless charging pad.
The driver can deactivate these messages
through the radio system. Refer to the
Information and Entertainment System Owner’s
Manual Supplement for further information.
POWER WINDOWS
POWER WINDOW CONTROLS
The power window switches work with the ignition
in the ACC or ON/RUN position and for three
minutes after the ignition has been placed in the
OFF position. When one of the front doors is
opened, this operation is disabled.
The window controls on the driver's door control
all the door windows.
Power Window Switches
The passenger door windows can also be
operated by using the single window controls on
the passenger door trim panel.
CAUTION!
The key fob should not be placed on the
charging pad or within 6 inches (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.

To open the window part way (manually), push
the window switch down briefly and release. Push
past the detent to activate “continuous
automatic” operation.
If the button is pushed again, the window will stop
in the desired position.
Pull the window switch to the first detent to move
the window upward. Pull the window switch to the
second detent, and the window will go up
automatically.
To close the window, pull the window switch up.
To stop the window during Auto-Up operation,
push or pull the window switch again.
AUTO-UP FEATURE WITH ANTI-PINCH
P
ROTECTION
The vehicle is equipped with an anti-pinch safety
device for closing the windows.
If the safety system senses any obstacle while
the window is closing, it will stop the window’s
movement and reverse it, depending on its
position. This device is also useful if the windows are
activated accidentally by children inside the
vehicle.
The anti-pinch safety function is activated both
during the manual and the automatic operation
of the window.
When the anti-pinch system is activated, the
window closing is immediately interrupted. Then
the window closing is automatically reversed and
the window lowers by about 8 inches (20 cm) in
relation to the first stop position. The window
cannot be operated during this time.

NOTE:
In the event of an error, or if the anti-pinch protec
-
tion is activated three consecutive times, the
automatic closing operation of the window will be
deactivated. In order to restore the correct opera -
tion of the system, the window must be lowered.
POWER WINDOW SYSTEM INITIALIZATION
If power supply is interrupted, the electric window
automatic operation must be reinitialized.
To perform the initialization procedure, which
must be done on each door with the doors closed,
manually fully close the window to be initialized.
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 buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, 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 or open any window.
POWER SUNROOF —

during the closing movement. If an obstacle is
detected, the system intervenes and the
movement of the sunroof is immediately reversed
into opening.
RE-INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
Automatic operation of the sunroof must be
re-initialized in case of faulty sunroof operation. It
may also be necessary to initialize the sunroof
after the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected
and then reconnected.

NOTE:
The anti-pinch safety device is deactivated during
the re-initialization procedure.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Never
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in
a location accessible to children. Do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
keyless ignition in the ON/RUN position.
Occupants, particularly unattended children,
can become entrapped by the power sunroof
while operating the power sunroof switch.
Such entrapment may result in serious injury
or death.
In a collision, there is a greater risk of being
thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof.
You could also be seriously injured or killed.
Always fasten your seat belt properly and
make sure all passengers are also properly
secured.
Do not allow small children to operate the
sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other body
parts, or any object, to project through the
sunroof opening. Injury may result.
CAUTION!
