92 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
The wiper-activated headlamps
immediately turn off when the
ignition is turned to off, or the
windshield wiper control is turned off.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives its
heading and other information from
the Global Positioning System (GPS)
antenna, StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), 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"
underSettings 0189.
Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets can be
used to plug in electrical equipment,
such as a cell phone or MP3 player.
The vehicle has two accessory power
outlets:
.Inside the center console
storage area.
.On the rear of the center floor
console.
Lift the cover to access the accessory
power outlet.
Certain electrical accessories may not
be compatible with the accessory
power outlet and could overload a
vehicle circuit breaker or adapter fuse.
If overloaded, the circuit breaker will
reset after all devices are disconnected
or if Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
is turned off and then back on. See
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) 0243.
Wait one minute to allow the circuit breaker to reset before reconnecting
devices or turning RAP back on. If the
problem continues, the issue could be
within your device. Try another
known good device to make sure the
circuit breaker is operating properly.
If this does not resolve your problem,
see your dealer.
It is possible to replace the factory
power outlet with a cigar lighter
receptacle, if desired. This requires the
factory installed circuit breaker to be
replaced with a standard minifuse by
the dealer. A minifuse will not reset
and will have to be replace if blown.
Caution
Failure to replace the circuit
breaker with the minifuse could
overheat the cigar lighter and
damage the vehicle.
When adding electrical equipment, be
sure to follow the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. See Add-On Electrical
Equipment 0326.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 93
Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from the
power outlet can cause damage not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
The power outlets are designed for
accessory power plugs only, such as
cell phone charge cords.
Always unplug electrical equipment
when not in use and do not plug in
equipment that exceeds the maximum
15 amps rating.
Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the vehicle
has wireless charging in the bin below
the climate control system. 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 (15 W), as requested by
the compatible smartphone. See Radio
Frequency Statement 0440.
{Warning
Wireless charging may 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, during a Bluetooth
phone call, or when phone projection
(e.g. Apple CarPlay / Android Auto) is
active. See Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) 0243.
The operating temperature is −40 °C
(−40 °F) to 85 °C (185 °F) for the
charging system and 0 °C (32 °F) to
35 °C (95 °F) for the phone. A charging
stopped alert may be displayed on the
infotainment screen, if the wireless
charger or smartphone are outside of
normal operating temperature. Charging will automatically resume
when a normal operating temperature
is reached.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the charger
before charging your compatible
smartphone. Objects, such as coins,
keys, rings, paper clips, or cards,
between the smartphone and
charger may 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
charger, remove the smartphone
and allow the object to cool before
removing it from the charger, to
prevent burns.

94 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
To charge a compatible smartphone:1. Confirm the smartphone is capable of wireless charging.
2. Remove all objects from the charging pad. The system may not
charge if there are any objects
between the smartphone and
charger.
3. Place the smartphone face up against the rear of the charger.
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 charger from working,
or reduce the charging
performance. See your dealer for
additional information.
4. A green

infotainment display, next to the
phone icon. This indicates that the
smartphone is detected.
5. If a smartphone is placed on the charger and
]turns off or turns
yellow, remove the smartphone and
any objects from the pad. Turn the
smartphone 180 degrees and wait a
few seconds before placing/aligning
it on the pad again.
6. If a smartphone is placed on the charger and
]turns red, the
charger and/or the smartphone is
overheated. Remove the
smartphone and any objects from
the charger in order to cool the
system.
The smartphone may become warm
during charging. This is normal. In
warmer temperatures, the speed of
charging may be reduced. For vehicles with wireless phone
projection, the smartphone may
overheat during wireless charging. The
smartphone may slow down, stop
charging, or shut down to protect the
battery. The phone may need to be
removed from its case to prevent
overheating. The
]may flash while
the phone is cooling down enough for
wireless charging to automatically
resume. This is normal. Individual
phone performance may vary.
