POWER OUTLET
Your vehicle is equipped with a 12 Volt (15 Amp)
power outlet that can be used to power cellular
phones, small electronics and other low powered
electrical accessories. The power outlet is labeled
with a key symbol to indicate how the outlet is
powered. Power outlets labeled with a key are
powered when the ignition is in the ON/RUN or
ACC position.
NOTE:
All accessories connected to powered outlets
should be removed or turned off when the vehicle
is not in use to protect the battery against
discharge.
115 Volt Power Inverter — If Equipped
The Power Inverter is located inside of the center
console. It can be used for small battery-powered
electrical appliances with powers up to 150 W
(e.g. cameras, video camera, tablets, razors,
etc.).
NOTE:
Do not connect devices with powers higher than
150 W to the socket. Do not damage the socket
by using unsuitable adapters.Center Console Power Outlet
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!
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.
Many accessories that can be plugged in
draw power from the vehicle's battery, even
when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, 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.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
170
NOTE:
If the SOS EmergencySOS Emergency Call button
is accidentally pushed, there is a 10 second delay
before the call is placed. The system will issue a
verbal alert that a call is about to be made. To
cancel the call connection, push the SOS Emer-
gency Call button again.
Once a connection between the vehicle and an
emergency service operator is made, the SOS
Emergency Call system will transmit the following
important vehicle information to the operator:
Indication that the occupant placed an SOS
Emergency Call.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
The last known GPS coordinates of the vehicle.
You will then be able to speak with the emergency
service operator to determine if additional help is
needed.
The SOS Emergency Call has priority over other
audio sources, which will be muted. If you have a
phone connected via Bluetooth®, it is discon -
nected and reconnected at the end of the SOS
Emergency Call. Voice prompts will guide you
during the SOS Emergency Call. If a connection is
made between an emergency service operator
and your vehicle, emergency service operators
may record conversations and sounds within your
vehicle once a connection is made, and by using
the service you consent to having this information
shared.
NOTE:
If you have not subscribed to the SOS service or if
the service is not available or has expired, the
Connect system will display a dedicated screen
when the button is pressed informing you to
contact the national emergency number 9-1-1 (the respective graphic button will be displayed to
make the call if you have connected your mobile

shown on the Connect system display.
SOS Screen Message
SOS Emergency Call System Limitations
When the ignition switches to the RUN position,
the Emergency Call system runs a routine check.
During this check, a red indicator will illuminate
for about three seconds. This signal must not be
confused with a fault warning. In the event of a
malfunction, the red indicator would remain on. If
the SOS Emergency Call system detects a
malfunction, any of the following may occur at the
time the malfunction is detected:
NOTE:
The SOS Call function may not be available for the
first minute after the vehicle is started
The LED next to the SOS button will be contin -
uously illuminated red.
The Emergency Call system is powered by its
own non-rechargeable battery to ensure
operation, even when the vehicle battery is
discharged or disconnected. When system battery is discharged, the instrument cluster
display will show a special message, different
than other messages referring to other types
of faults. In this case, the system works only if
powered by the vehicle’s battery.
The instrument cluster will display a message
alerting you to contact the Service Network
along with a failure warning light.
Even if the SOS Emergency Call system is fully
functional, external or uncontrolled factors may
prevent or stop SOS Emergency Call operation.
These include, but are not limited to, the following
factors:
The key fob has been removed from the
vehicle, and the delayed accessories mode is
active.
The ignition is in OFF position.
The vehicle’s electrical systems are not intact.
The SOS Emergency Call system software and/
or hardware is damaged during a vehicle
collision.
There are network problems that could limit or
impair service operation (e.g., error by
operator, busy network, bad weather, etc.).
If the vehicle battery connection fails due to a
collision or accident, the system can support an
SOS Emergency Call for a limited period of time.
If the battery is disconnected for service, the
system turns off. In this case, it will be possible to
make an SOS Emergency Call only when the
battery is reconnected to the vehicle’s electrical
system.
