GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE89
Plugging in a phone or another USB device may 
cause the connection to a previous device to be 
lost.
NOTE:Charge unsupported devices with the Charge Only 
USB ports. If an unsupported device is plugged into 
a Media USB port, a message will display on the 
touchscreen that the device is not supported by 
the system.
POWER OUTLETS 
Your vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (15 Amp) 
power outlets, and 5 Volt (2.5 Amp) USB ports, that 
can be used to power cellular phones, small 
electronics and other low powered electrical 
accessories. The power outlets can be 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 is in the 
ACC or ON/RUN position, while the outlets labeled 
with a battery symbol are connected directly to the 
battery and 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. Depending on the type of center console your 
vehicle is equipped with, there is a front power 
outlet located either on the center stack, bottom of 
the instrument panel, or inside the center console.
12 Volt Front Power Outlet (On Center Stack) - If Equipped
12 Volt Front Power Outlet (In Floor Tray) - If Equipped
12 Volt Front Power Outlet (In Center Console)
CAUTION!
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.

(Continued)
In addition to the front power outlet, there is also a 
power outlet located in the rear cargo area.
The rear power outlet is located in the right rear 
cargo area.
Rear Power Outlet
NOTE:The instrument panel power outlet can be changed 
to battery powered at all times by switching the 
power outlet fuse in the Power Distribution Center 
panel from fuse location F95A to F95B.
 Power Outlet Fuse Locations
1 — F95A (Ignition)/F95B (Battery) 
Front Power Outlet 10A
2 — F85 Cigar Lighter 20A
3 — F60 RR Cargo Power Outlet 20A
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Only devices designed for use in this type of 
outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt 
outlet.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use and while driving 
the vehicle.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an 
electric shock and failure.
CAUTION!
Many accessories that can be plugged in draw 
power from the vehicle's battery, even when 
not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventu
-
ally, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle's 
battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade 
battery life and/or prevent the engine from 
starting.
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., 
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will 
degrade the battery even more quickly. Only use 
these intermittently and with greater caution.
After the use of high power draw accessories, 
or long periods of the vehicle not being started 
(with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle 
must be driven a sufficient length of time to 
allow the generator to recharge the vehicle's 
battery.
WARNING!

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY301
PREPARATIONS FOR JUMP START
The battery in your vehicle is located on the driver’s 
side of the engine compartment.
Battery Location
NOTE:The positive battery post may be covered with a 
protective cap. Lift up on the cap to gain access to 
the positive battery post. Do not jump off fuses. 
Only jump directly off positive post which has a 
positive (+) symbol on or around the post.
See the following steps to prepare for jump 
starting:
1. Apply the parking brake, shift the automatic  transmission into PARK (P) and place the 
ignition to OFF.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all electrical  accessories. 3. Pull upward and remove the protective cap 
over the remote positive  (+) battery post.
4. If using another vehicle to jump start the  battery, park the vehicle within the jumper 
cable’s reach, set the parking brake and make 
sure the ignition is OFF.
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
Connecting The Jumper Cables
1. Connect the positive 
 (+) end of the jumper 
cable to the remote positive  (+)
 post of the 
vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive  (+) 
jumper cable to the positive  (+) post of the 
booster battery.
3. Connect the negative  (-) end of the jumper 
cable to the negative  (-) post of the booster 
battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative  (-) 
jumper cable to the remote negative  (-) post 
near the windshield cowl (exposed metallic/
unpainted post of the discharge vehicle).
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this 
could establish a ground connection and 
personal injury could result.
WARNING!
Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan 
whenever the hood is raised. It can start 
anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can be 
injured by moving fan blades.
Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, 
watch bands and bracelets that could make 
an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be 
seriously injured.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn 
your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas 
which is flammable and explosive. Keep open 
flames or sparks away from the battery.
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting procedure 
could result in personal injury or property 
damage due to battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result in 
damage to the charging system of the booster 
vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

FUSES
General Information
The fuses protect electrical systems against 
excessive current. When a device does not work, you must check the 
fuse element inside the blade fuse for a break/
melt.
Also, please be aware that using power outlets for 
extended periods of time with the engine off may 
result in vehicle battery discharge.
Blade Fuses
Underhood Fuses
The Power Distribution Center (PDC) is located in 
the engine compartment near the battery. This 
center contains cartridge fuses, mini-fuses, 
micro-fuses, circuit breakers and relays. A label 
that identifies each component is printed on the 
inside of the cover.
Before any procedure is done on the PDC, make 
sure engine is turned off.
Remove the cover by unlatching the two locks 
located at each side of the PDC cover, avoid using 
screwdrivers or any other tool to remove the cover, 
since they may apply excessive force and result in 
a broken/damaged part.
After service is done, secure the cover with its two 
locks.
NOTE:The function and amperage of the following fuses 
are different, depending on vehicle trim level and 
content.
WARNING!
When replacing a blown fuse, always use an 
appropriate replacement fuse with the same 
amp rating as the original fuse. Never replace 
a fuse with another fuse of higher amp rating. 
Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires or 
any other material. Do not place a fuse inside 
a circuit breaker cavity or vice versa. Failure to 
use proper fuses may result in serious 
personal injury, fire and/or property damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the 
ignition is off and that all the other services 
are switched off and/or disengaged.
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an 
authorized dealer.
If a general protection fuse for safety systems 
(air bag system, braking system), power unit 
systems (engine system, transmission 
system) or steering system blows, contact an 
authorized dealer.

2 — Blade Fuse with a good/functional fuse 
element
3 — Blade fuse with a bad/not functional fuse 
element (blown fuse)CAUTION!
When installing the power distribution center 
cover, it is important to ensure the cover is 
properly positioned and fully latched. Failure to 
do so may allow water to get into the power 
distribution center and possibly result in an 
electrical system failure.8
