The vehicle has a compass display in the
instrument cluster above the speedometer.
The compass receives its heading and other
information from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna and vehicle speed
information.
The compass system has automatic
calibration and zone adjustment features.
Avoid covering the GPS antenna for long
periods of time with objects that may
interfere with the antenna's ability to
receive a satellite signal. 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. The
compass system will automatically
determine when a GPS signal is restored and
provide a heading.
Clock
Set the time and date using the
infotainment system. See "Time/Date" under
Settings0132.
Power Outlets
The accessory power outlet can be used to
plug in electrical equipment, such as a
mobile phone or MP3 player. The accessory
power outlet only works with the vehicle

The vehicle has an accessory power outlet
on the lower center stack below the climate
control.
Open the cover to access and replace when
not in use.
Caution
Leaving electrical equipment plugged in
for an extended period of time while the
vehicle is off will drain the battery.
Always unplug electrical equipment when
not in use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum 20 amp
rating.
Certain accessory power plugs may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlet
and could overload vehicle or adapter fuses.
If a problem is experienced, see your dealer. When adding electrical equipment, be sure
to follow the proper installation instructions
included with the equipment. See
Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0211.
Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from the

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 0286.

or obstructed by something that blocks
the view of the light sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such that the front
end points upward, causing the light
sensor to aim high and not detect
headlamps and taillamps.
.Driving on winding or hilly roads.
The IntelliBeam system may need to be
