76 Instruments and Controls
Power Outlet 110/120-Volt Alternating
Current
If equipped, the vehicle has an alternating
current power outlet on the rear of the
center console.
When the ignition is on, power is supplied
to the outlets after the DC/AC switch is
pressed. A green indicator light on the
DC/AC switch indicates when the DC/AC
operation is active. One power outlet can be
used with electrical equipment that uses a
maximum of 400 watts. If both outlets are
being used, 400 watts will be shared
between the outlets. Ensure that all
connected devices do not exceed 400 watts.The power outlet can be turned off by
pressing the DC/AC switch. The power outlet
can be turned back on after 10 seconds,
during which the indicator light on the
switch will flash.
An indicator light on the outlet illuminates
when power is provided to the outlet and
no system fault is detected. The outlets will
not operate when the ignition is off, the
DC/AC switch is not pressed, or the plug is
not fully seated into the outlet.
If equipment is connected using more than
400 watts or a system fault is detected, a
protection circuit shuts off the power supply
and the indicator light turns off.
Do not use a power outlet with a missing or
damaged cover.
The power outlet is not designed for the
following, and may not work properly if
they 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
Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the vehicle has
wireless charging in front of the center floor
console. 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 0346.
{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

lines interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble on the
radio.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
provides digital radio reception. Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with satellite
radio signals, causing the sound to fade in

or tunnels may cause loss of the SiriusXM
signal for a period of time. Some cellular
services may interfere with SXM reception
causing loss of signal.
Mobile Device Usage

receiving calls, charging, or just having the
mobile device on may cause static
interference in the radio. Unplug the mobile
device or turn it off if this happens.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band roof antenna may be used
for radio, navigation, and other
communication systems, depending on the
equipped options. To ensure clear reception,
keep the antenna clear of obstructions, suchas snow and ice. If the vehicle has a
sunroof, and it is open, or a roof loaded
with cargo, reception may be affected.

128 Infotainment System
1. Pressgon the steering wheel controls,
touch Google Assistant on the Home
screen, or use the wake up words “Hey
Google” or“OK Google” to activate voice
recognition. Google Assistant must be set
as the Default Assistant for the
gand
the wake word options to work.

Canceling Google Assistant
.Presscon the steering wheel controls
to cancel the Google Assistant request.
Helpful Hints for Speaking Commands
Voice recognition identifies commands that
are naturally stated in sentence form,
or direct commands that state the
application and the task.
For best results:
.Speak the command naturally, not too
fast, not too slow.
.Use direct commands without a lot of
extra words. For example, “Call
at work,” “Play” followed by the artist or
song name, or “Play”followed by the
radio station number. Direct commands are more clearly
understood by the system. An example of a
direct command is
“Dial .”
If a cell phone number was saved with a
name and a place, the direct command
should include both. For example “Call
at work.”
Voice Recognition for the Radio
When voice is started, the voice recognition
commands for AM, FM, SiriusXM (if
equipped), and media apps (if supported) are
available.
“Play AM” :Tune to the
radio station frequency identified in the
command (like “nine fifty”).
“Play FM” :Tune to the
radio station frequency identified in the
command (like “one oh one point one”).
“Play channel on
SiriusXM” :Tune to the SiriusXM radio
station channel number identified in the
command. This command may require an
online connection.
“Play on Sirius XM” :
Tune to the SiriusXM radio station channel
name identified in the command. This
command may require an online connection. “Play on
