106 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Caution
Leaving electrical equipment
plugged in for an extended period
of time while the ignition is in
LOCK/OFF will drain the battery.
Always unplug electrical equipment
when not in use and do not plug in
equipment that exceeds the
maximum 15 ampere rating.
Certain accessory plugs may not be
compatible with the accessory power
outlet and could overload vehicle and
adapter fuses. If a problem is
experienced, see your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment, be
sure to follow the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. See Add-On Electrical
Equipment 0316.
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.
Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the vehicle
has wireless charging in the storage
under the armrest. 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 0421.
{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) 0236.
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
