With Rainsense, if the
transmission is in N (Neutral)
and the vehicle speed is very
slow, the wipers will
automatically stop at the base
of the windshield.
The wiper operations return
to normal when the
transmission is no longer in
N (Neutral) or the vehicle
speed has increased.
f:Pull the windshield wiper
lever toward you to spray
windshield washer fluid and
activate the wipers. The
wipers will continue until the
lever is released or the
maximum wash time is
reached. When the windshield
wiper lever is released,
additional wipes may occur
depending on how long the
windshield washer had been
activated. See Washer Fluid
0 393 for information on filling
the windshield washer fluid
reservoir.
Compass
The vehicle has a compass
display on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The
compass receives its heading
and other information from
the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna,
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC), and vehicle
speed information.
The compass system is
designed to operate for a
certain number of miles or
degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in
an open area where it can
receive a GPS signal. The
compass system will
automatically determine when
a GPS signal is restored and
provide a heading again.
Clock
Set the time and date using
the infotainment system. See
"Time/Date" under Settings
0 207.
Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets
can be used to plug in
electrical equipment, such as a
cell phone or MP3 player.
The vehicle has two accessory
power outlets:
.Inside the center console
storage area.
.On the rear of the center
floor console.
Lift the cover to access the
accessory power outlet.
Certain electrical accessories
may not be compatible with
the accessory power outlet
and could overload a vehicle
circuit breaker or adapter
fuse. If overloaded, the circuit
breaker will reset after all
devices are disconnected or if

Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) is turned off and then
back on. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP)0267.
Wait one minute to allow the
circuit breaker to reset before
reconnecting devices or
turning RAP back on. If the
problem continues, the issue
could be within your device.
Try another known good
device to make sure the circuit
breaker is operating properly.
If this does not resolve your
problem, see your dealer.
Caution
Failure to replace the circuit
breaker with the minifuse
could overheat the cigar
lighter and damage the
vehicle.
When adding electrical
equipment, be sure to follow
the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0366.
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.
Always unplug electrical
equipment when not in use
and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum
15 amps rating.
Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the
vehicle has wireless charging
in the bin below the climate
control system. 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
0494.
{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
accessory mode, 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) 0267.
The operating temperature is
−40 °C (−40 °F) to 85 °C
(185 °F) for the charging

Engine Oil
To ensure proper engine
performance and long life,
careful attention must be paid
to engine oil. Following these
simple, but important steps
will help protect your
investment:
.Use engine oil approved to
the proper specification and
of the proper viscosity
grade. See “Selecting the
Right Engine Oil” in this
section.
.Check the engine oil level
regularly and maintain the
proper oil level. See
“Checking Engine Oil” and
“When to Add Engine Oil” in
this section.
.Change the engine oil at the
appropriate time. See Engine
Oil Life System 0381.
.Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See “What to Do
with Used Oil” in this section.
Checking Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level
regularly, every 650 km
(400 mi), especially prior to a
long trip. The engine oil
dipstick handle is a loop. See
Engine Compartment
Overview0373 for the
location.
{Warning
The engine oil dipstick
handle may be hot; it could
burn you. Use a towel or
glove to touch the dipstick
handle.
If a low oil Driver Information
Center (DIC) message displays,
check the oil level.
