outlet it can be used to plug in
electrical equipment that uses
a maximum limit of 150 watts.
The power outlet is on the
rear of the center console.
An indicator light on the outlet
turns on to show it is in use.
The light comes on when the
vehicle is on, equipment
requiring less than 150 watts
is plugged into the outlet, and
no system fault is detected.The indicator light does not
come on when the vehicle is
off or if the equipment is not
fully seated into the outlet.
If equipment is connected
using more than 150 watts or
a system fault is detected, a
protection circuit shuts off the
power supply and the
indicator light turns off. To
reset the circuit, unplug the
item and plug it back in or turn
the Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) off and then back
on. See Retained Accessory
Power (RAP)
0209. The power
restarts when equipment
using 150 watts or less is
plugged into the outlet and a
system fault is not detected.
The power outlet is not
designed for and may not
work properly, if the following
are plugged in:
.Equipment with high initial
peak wattage, such as
compressor-driven
refrigerators and electric
power tools
.Other equipment requiring
an extremely stable power
supply, such as
microcomputer-controlled
electric blankets and touch
sensor lamps
.Medical equipment

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) 0209.
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.
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:

Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious
enough to cause an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying
attention to the warning lights
and gauges could prevent
injury.
Some warning lights come on
briefly when the propulsion
system is started to indicate
they are working. When one of
the warning lights comes on
and stays on while driving,
or when one of the gauges
shows there may be a
problem, check the section
that explains what to do.
Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.

modules, the wiring, and the
crash sensing and diagnostic
module. For more information
on the airbag system, see
Airbag System059.
The airbag readiness light
comes on for several seconds
when the vehicle is started.
If the light does not come on
then, have it fixed immediately.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light
stays on after the vehicle is
started or comes on while
driving, it means the airbag
system might not be working
properly. The airbags in the

message may also come on.
Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system. See
Passenger Sensing System
0 66 for important safety
information. The overhead
console has a passenger
airbag status indicator.
When the vehicle is started,
the passenger airbag status
indicator will light ON and OFF,
and the symbols for on and
off, for several seconds as a
system check. Then, after
several more seconds, the
status indicator will light either
ON or OFF, and either the
symbol for on or off, to let you
know the status of the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag and knee airbag.
If the word ON, and the on
symbol, is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it
means that the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag and
knee airbag are allowed to
inflate.
If the word OFF, and the off
symbol, is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger
sensing system has turned off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag.
