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
0496.
{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) 0273. The operating temperature
is
−40 °C (−40 °F) to 85 °C
(185 °F) for the charging
system and 0 °C (32 °F) to
35 °C (95 °F) for the phone.
A charging stopped alert may
be displayed on the
infotainment screen, if the
wireless charger or
smartphone are outside of
normal operating temperature.
Charging will automatically
resume when a normal
operating temperature is
reached.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the
charger before charging
your compatible
smartphone. Objects, such
as coins, keys, rings, paper
clips, or cards, between the
smartphone and charger
may become very hot.

110 Instruments and Controls
Warning (Continued)
On the rare occasion that
the charging system does
not detect an object, and
the object gets wedged
between the smartphone
and charger, remove the
smartphone and allow the
object to cool before
removing it from the
charger, to prevent burns.
To charge a compatible
smartphone:1. Confirm the smartphone is capable of wireless
charging.
2. Remove all objects from the charging pad. The
system may not charge if
there are any objects
between the smartphone
and charger.
3. Place the smartphone face up against the rear of the
charger.
To maximize the charge
rate, ensure the
smartphone is fully seated
and centered in the holder
with nothing under it.
A thick smartphone case
may prevent the charger
from working, or reduce
the charging performance.
See your dealer for
additional information. 4. A green]will appear on
the infotainment display,
next to the phone icon.
This indicates that the
smartphone is detected.
5. If a smartphone is placed on the charger and
]
turns off or turns yellow,
remove the smartphone
and any objects from the
pad. Turn the smartphone
180 degrees and wait a
few seconds before
placing/aligning it on the
pad again.
6. If a smartphone is placed on the charger and
]
turns red, the charger
and/or the smartphone is
overheated. Remove the
smartphone and any
objects from the charger in
order to cool the system.
The smartphone may become
warm during charging. This is
normal. In warmer
temperatures, the speed of
charging may be reduced.

Battery Load
Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM), which
estimates the battery's
temperature and state of
charge. It then adjusts the
voltage for best performance
and extended life of the
battery.
When the battery's state of
charge is low, the voltage is
raised slightly to quickly bring
the charge back up. When thestate of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent overcharging. If the
vehicle has a voltmeter gauge
or a voltage display on the
Driver Information Center
(DIC), you may see the voltage
move up or down. This is
normal. If there is a problem,
an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged
at idle if the electrical loads
are very high. This is true for
all vehicles. This is because
the generator (alternator) may
not be spinning fast enough at
idle to produce all the power
that is needed for very high
electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs
when several of the following
are on, such as: headlamps,
high beams, fog lamps, rear
window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed,
heated seats, engine cooling
fans, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent
excessive discharge of the
battery. It does this by
balancing the generator's
output and the vehicle's
electrical needs. It can
increase engine idle speed to
generate more power,
whenever needed. It can
temporarily reduce the power
demands of some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur
in steps or levels, without
being noticeable. In rare cases
at the highest levels of
corrective action, this action
may be noticeable to the
driver. If so, a DIC message
might be displayed. If a battery
message is displayed, it is
recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as
much as possible. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) (Base
Level)
0136 or
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Uplevel) 0139.

162 Infotainment System
Introduction
Read the following pages to
become familiar with the
features.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the
road for too long or too
often while using any
infotainment feature can
cause a crash. You or others
could be injured or killed. Do
not give extended attention
to infotainment tasks while
driving. Limit your glances at
the vehicle displays and
focus your attention on
driving. Use voice commands
whenever possible.
The infotainment system has
built-in features intended to
help avoid distraction by
disabling some features when
driving. These features may
gray out when they are
unavailable. Many infotainment features are also available
through the instrument cluster
and steering wheel controls.
Before driving:
.Become familiar with the
operation, center stack
controls, steering wheel
controls, and infotainment
display.
.Set up the audio by
presetting favorite stations,
setting the tone, and
adjusting the speakers.
.Set up phone numbers in
advance so they can be
called easily by pressing a
single control or by using a
single voice command.
See Distracted Driving 0242.
Active Noise
Cancellation (ANC)
If equipped, ANC reduces
engine noise in the vehicle’s
interior. ANC requires the
factory-installed audio system,
radio, speakers, amplifier (if
equipped), induction system,
and exhaust system to work properly. Deactivation is
required by your dealer if
related aftermarket equipment
is installed.
Overview
Infotainment System
The infotainment system is
controlled by using the
infotainment display, controls
on the center console,
steering wheel controls, and
voice recognition.
