ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position, while the
outlets labeled with a battery symbol are
connected directly to the battery and powered at
all times.
NOTE:
All accessories connected to the battery
powered outlets should be removed or turned
off when the vehicle is not in use to protect the
battery against discharge.
Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 W
(13 Amp) at 12 Volt. If the 160 W (13 Amp)
power rating is exceeded the fuse protecting the
system needs to be replaced.
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs
only. Do not insert any other object in the power
outlets as this will damage the outlet and blow
the fuse. Improper use of the power outlet can
cause damage not covered by your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
The front power outlet is located inside the storage
area on the center stack of the instrument panel,
below the climate controls.
Front Power Outlet

The rear cargo power outlet is located in the right
rear cargo area when the vehicle is equipped with
third row seating. When the vehicle is equipped
with only two row seating, the cargo area outlet is
located on the left side trim panel.

Rear Cargo Power Outlet (Third Row Seating)

NOTE:The rear cargo power outlet can be changed from
battery powered to powered by ignition in the ON/
RUN position by switching the cargo area power
outlet fuse from F44B to F44A in the rear power
distribution center Ú page 352.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Only devices designed for use in this type of
outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt
outlet.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use and while driving
the vehicle.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an
electric shock and failure.
CAUTION!
Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle's battery, even when
not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventu -
ally, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle's
battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from
starting.

for viewing, and display the total miles, or
kilometers, in the odometer. Your instrument
cluster display is designed to display important
information about your vehicle’s systems and
features. Using a driver interactive display located
on the instrument panel, your instrument cluster
display can show you how systems are working and
give you warnings when they are not. The steering
wheel mounted controls allow you to scroll through
the main menus and submenus. You can access
the specific information you want and make
selections and adjustments.

Oil Change Required

Your vehicle is equipped with an
engine oil change indicator system.
The “Oil Change Required”
message will display in the
instrument cluster display for five seconds after a
single chime has sounded, to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator system is duty cycle based, which means
the engine oil change interval may fluctuate,
dependent upon your personal driving style.

Unless reset, this message will continue to display
each time the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position. To turn off the message temporarily, push
and release the OK or arrow buttons. To reset the
oil change indicator system (after performing the
scheduled maintenance), refer to the following
procedure.
