WHAT IS THE POWER OUTLET
The power outlet can power devices using
a 12 V outlet adapter.
POWER OUTLET
PRECAUTIONS WARNING:
Do not plug optional
electrical accessories into the cigar
lighter socket. Incorrect use of the cigar
lighter can cause damage not covered
by the vehicle warranty, and can result
in fire or serious injury.
When you switch the vehicle on, you can
use the socket to power
12 V appliances
with a maximum current rating of 20 A. Do
not use the power point over the vehicle
capacity of
12 V DC 240 W or a fuse could
blow. Do not plug in any device that
supplies power to the vehicle through the
power points. This could result in damage
to vehicle systems. Do not hang any
accessory from the accessory plug. Always
keep the power point caps closed when
not in use. Do not insert objects other than
an accessory plug into the power point.
To prevent the battery from running out of
charge:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is off.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when you park your vehicle
for extended periods. LOCATING THE POWER
OUTLETS
Power outlets are in the following
locations:
•
On the instrument panel.
• Inside the center console.
• On the rear of the center console.

When the engine starts for the first time
on your drive, the idle speed increases, this
helps to warm up the engine. If the engine
idle speed does not slow down, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
The system does not function if:
•
The passive key frequencies are
jammed.
• The key battery has no charge.
RESTARTING THE ENGINE AFTER
STOPPING IT - VEHICLES WITH:
PUSH BUTTON START
The system allows you to start the engine
within 10 seconds of switching it off, even
if it does not detect a valid passive key.
Within 10 seconds of switching the engine
off, fully press the brake pedal and press
the push button ignition switch. After 10
seconds, you can no longer start the engine
if the system does not detect a valid
passive key.
When you start the engine, it remains
running until you press the push button
ignition switch, even if your vehicle does
not detect a valid passive key. If you open
and close a door when the engine is
running, the system searches for a valid
passive key.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF
EQUIPPED)
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
PRECAUTIONS WARNING:
Failure to follow engine
block heater instructions could result in
property damage or serious personal
injury. WARNING: Do not use your heater
with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock. WARNING:
Do not fully close the
hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block
heater. This could damage the power
cable and may cause an electrical short
resulting in fire, injury and property
damage.
We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:
• Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
Underwriter ’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.
• Use as short an extension cord as
possible.
• Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and engine block
heater cord plug connections are free
and clear of water. This could cause an
electric shock or fire.
• If the engine block heater cord is under
the hood, do not remove the wiring
from its original location. Do not close
the hood on the extension wiring.
• Park your vehicle in a clean area, clear
of combustible materials.
• Firmly connect the engine block heater
cord and the extension cord.

HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
VEHICLE PRECAUTIONS -
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(HEV)
In the event of damage or fire involving an
electric vehicle or hybrid-electric vehicle:
• Assume the high-voltage battery and
associated components are energized
and fully charged.
• Physical damage to the vehicle or
high-voltage battery could result in
immediate or delayed release of toxic,
flammable gases and fire.
Crashes
A crash or impact significant enough to
require an emergency response for
conventional vehicles would also require
the same response for an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle. If Possible:
1. Move your vehicle to a safe, nearby
location and remain on the scene.
2. Roll down the windows before you switch your vehicle off.
3. Place your vehicle in park (P), apply the parking brake, switch off the
vehicle, turn on the hazard flashers and
move the key at least 16 ft (5 m) away
from the vehicle.
Always:
• Call emergency assistance if needed
and advise that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
• Avoid contact with leaking fluids and
gases, and remain out of the way of
oncoming traffic until emergency
responders arrive.
• When emergency responders arrive,
tell them that the vehicle involved is an
electric vehicle or hybrid-electric
vehicle.
Fires
As with any vehicle, call emergency
assistance immediately if you see sparks,
smoke or flames coming from the vehicle.
Remain a safe distance from the vehicle
and try to stay clear of the smoke.
1. Exit the vehicle immediately.
2. Advise emergency assistance that an electric or hybrid-electric vehicle is
involved.
3. As with any vehicle fire, do not inhale smoke, vapors or gas from the vehicle,
as they may be hazardous.

PREPARING YOUR VEHICLE
FOR STORAGE
If you plan on storing your vehicle for 30
days or more, the following maintenance
recommendations ensures your vehicle
stays in good operating condition.
Under various conditions, long-term
storage may lead to degraded engine
performance or failure unless you use
specific precautions to preserve your
vehicle.
General
•
Store all vehicles in a dry, ventilated
place.
• If vehicles are stored outside, they
require regular maintenance to protect
against rust and weather damage.
• Make sure all linkages, cables, levers
and pins under your vehicle are covered
with grease to prevent rust.
• Move vehicles at least 25 ft (7.5 m)
every 15 days to lubricate working parts
and prevent corrosion.
• Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel
until the first automatic shutoff of the
fuel pump nozzle.
Engine
• Change the engine oil and filter prior to
storage because used engine oil
contains contaminants which may
cause engine damage.
• Start the engine every 15 days for a
minimum of 15 minutes. Run at fast
idle with the climate controls set to
defrost until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature.
• With your foot on the brake, shift
through all the gears while the engine
is running. Body
•
Wash your vehicle thoroughly to
remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from
exterior surfaces, rear-wheel housings
and the underside of front fenders.
• Periodically wash your vehicle if it is
stored in exposed locations.
• Touch-up exposed or primed metal to
prevent rust.
• Cover chrome and stainless steel parts
with a thick coat of auto wax to prevent
discoloration. Re-wax as necessary
when you wash your vehicle.
• Lubricate all hood, door and luggage
compartment hinges and latches with
a light grade oil.
• Cover interior trim to prevent fading.
• Keep all rubber parts free from oil and
solvents.
Hybrid Battery Systems
We recommend the following actions for
your vehicle:
• When storing your vehicle for greater
than 30 days the state of charge
should be approximately 50%.
Additionally we recommend
disconnecting the 12V battery which
will reduce system loads on the HV
battery.
12 Volt Battery
• Check and recharge as necessary. Keep
connections clean.
Note: It is necessary to reset memory
features if you disconnect the battery
cables.
Brakes
Make sure the brakes and parking brake
release fully.

LOCATING THE AUXILIARY
SWITCH WIRING
There are three sets of blunt-cut and
sealed circuits. Two sets are under the
hood and behind the battery tray, and one
set is inside your vehicle at the passenger
footwell.
The powered set (A) is taped behind the
battery tray and has a red spot tape mark.
The second set (B) is also under the hood.
It is taped behind the battery tray and has
a white spot tape mark. This set routes to
the interior passenger footwell.
Remove the battery and battery tray to
access the underhood circuits. The interior set is taped on a wire harness
by the passenger side footwell. This set is
the other end of the circuits taped behind
the battery tray, with a white spot tape
mark.
Remove the fuse panel access door in the
kick panel to access the wires. If you do not
see them, you may need to pull them
down.
See Fuses (page 472). See your authorized
dealer for service.
Circuits from the under hood fuse box (A)
are powered. All other circuits (B-E) are
not connected at either end.
Additional information on fuse and relay
locations is available. See
Fuses (page
472). See your authorized dealer for service.
