USB/AUX CONTROL
Located on the center stack, just below the
instrument panel, is the main media hub. There
are four total USB ports: Two Mini-USBs (Type C)
and two Standard USBs (Type A). There is also an
AUX port located in the middle of the USB ports.
Plugging in a smartphone device to a USB port may
activate Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay®
features, if equipped. For further information, refer
to “Android Auto™” or “Apple CarPlay®” in the
Owner’s Manual Supplement.
NOTE:Two devices can be plugged in at the same time,
and both ports will provide charging capabilities.
Only one port can transfer data to the system at a
time. A pop-up will appear and allow you to select
the device transferring data.
For example, if a device is plugged into the Type A
USB port and another device is plugged into the
Type C USB port, a message will appear and allow
you to select which device to use.
Center Stack USB/AUX Media Hub
Rear USB Ports
A third and fourth USB ports are located behind the
center console, above the power inverter. Both are
charge only.
Applicable to only Uconnect 5/5 NAV With 8.4-inch
Display, and Uconnect 5 NAV With 12-inch Display
radios, different scenarios are listed below when a
non-phone device is plugged into the smaller and
larger USB ports, and when a phone device is
plugged into the smaller and larger USB ports:
“A new device is now connected. Previous
connection was lost”.
“(Phone Name) now connected. Previous
connection was lost”.
“Another device is in use through the same USB
port. Please disconnect the first device to use
the second device”.
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.
Plugging in a phone or another USB device may
cause the connection to a previous device to be
lost.
If equipped, your vehicle may also contain a USB
port located on the top tray of the vehicle’s center
console.

Standard USB ports (Type A), and one AUX port
may be located to the left of the center stack, just
below the climate controls.

Center Console USB/AUX Media Hub

Some USB ports support media and charging. You
can use features, such as Apple CarPlay®, Android
Auto™, Pandora®, and others while charging your
phone.
NOTE:Plugging in a phone or another USB device may
cause the connection to a previous device to be
lost. For further information, refer to the Uconnect
Owner’s Manual Supplement or visit
UconnectPhone.com.
ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS
The auxiliary 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlet can
provide power for in-cab accessories designed for
use with the standard “cigarette lighter” style plug.
The 12 Volt power outlets and 5 Volt (2.5 Amp) USB
Port (Charge Only) have a cap attached to the
outlet indicating “12V DC”, together with either a
key symbol, battery symbol, or USB symbol.
A key symbol indicates that the ignition must be in
the ON/RUN or ACC positions for the outlet to
provide power. The battery symbol indicates that
the outlet is connected to the battery, and can
provide power at all times.
An auxiliary power outlet can be found in the tray
on top of the center stack. This power outlet only
works when the ignition is in the ON/RUN or ACC
position.

Power Outlet — Top Of Center Stack

1 — Standard USB Type A Ports
2 — Mini-USB Type C Ports
3 — AUX Port
CAUTION!
Do not exceed the maximum power of
160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the
160 Watts (13 Amps) power rating is
exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will
need to be replaced.
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.
CAUTION!

22_DT_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 76

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE77
(Continued)

The auxiliary power outlet can be changed to battery
powered at all times by switching the power outlet
fuses in the Internal Power Distribution Center
located under the driver’s side instrument panel.

Power Outlet Fuse Locations

When the vehicle is turned off, be sure to unplug
any equipment as to not drain the battery of the
vehicle. All accessories connected to the outlet(s)
should be removed or turned off when the vehicle
is not in use to protect the battery against
discharge.
POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED
A 115 Volt (400 Watts Maximum) inverter may be
located inside the center console towards the right
hand side. This inverter can power cellular phones,
electronics and other low power devices requiring
power up to 400 Watts. Certain video game
consoles exceed this power limit, as will most
power tools.

Center Console Power Inverter Outlet

1 — F54 Fuse 20 A Yellow Power Outlet Battery
Fed Position
2 — F54 Fuse 20 A Yellow Power Outlet Ignition
Fed Position
3 — F48 Fuse 10 A Red Port Power or Rear USB
(Charge Only)
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 discharge 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.
CAUTION!

only be used as a parking aid. The ParkView
camera is unable to view every obstacle or
object in your drive path.
To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be
driven slowly when using ParkView to be able
to stop in time when an obstacle is seen. It is
recommended that the driver look frequently
over his/her shoulder when using ParkView.
