Sun Screen Extended

To lower the sun screen, gently lift the tab upward
to disengage the hooks, and feed the screen back
into the base sill.
USB/AUX CONTROL
This feature allows an external USB device to be
plugged into one of the USB ports, located in the
center stack of the instrument panel.
Plugging in a smartphone device to a USB port will
activate Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay®
features, if equipped. For further information, refer
to “Android Auto™” or “Apple CarPlay®” in the
Uconnect Radio Instruction Manual.
NOTE:Two devices can be plugged in at the same time,
and both ports will provide charging capabilities.
Only one port can transfer data to the system at a
time. For example, if a device is plugged into the Type A
USB port and another device is plugged into the
Type C USB port, a message will appear and allow
you to select which device to use.
The following messages will appear when a
non-phone device is plugged into the smaller and
larger USB ports, and when a phone device is
plugged into the smaller and larger USB ports:
“A new device is now connected. Previous
connection was lost.”
“(Phone Name) now connected. Previous
connection was lost.”
“Another device is in use through the same USB
port. Please disconnect the first device to use
the second device.”
Plugging in a phone or another USB device may
cause the connection to a previous device to be
lost.
Connecting AUX Or The External USB
Device
Use a connection cable to connect an external USB
device to the vehicle’s USB port, or use an auxiliary
cable to connect a device to the vehicle’s AUX port.
Both are located below the climate controls.
USB/AUX Ports

Once a device is connected to the USB port, it will
begin charging and is ready for use with the
system. Type C and Type A charge-only USB ports
can be used at the same time but cannot be used
simultaneously while playing media. When both
Type C and Type A charge-only USB ports are in use
they will be charged at a reduced rate.
NOTE:If the device’s battery completely discharges, it
may not communicate with the Uconnect system
until a minimum charge is attained. Leaving the
device connected to the USB port may charge it to
the required level.

The wireless charging pad is equipped with an
anti-slip mat to hold your mobile phone in place,
and an LED indicator light.
LED Indicator Status:
No Light: Charging pad is idle or searching for a
device.
Blue Light: Device is detected and is charging.
Red Light/Flashing: Internal error or foreign
object is detected.
Important Notes Regarding This Vehicle’s Wireless
Charging Pad:
All vehicle doors must be closed for the wireless
charging pad to operate.
If the phone moves on the pad causing the red
light to illuminate, the phone will have to be
picked up and placed back on the charging pad
to resume charging.
Wireless charging is not as fast as when the
phone is connected to a wired charger.
The phone’s protective case must be removed
when placed on the wireless charging pad.
iPhone® 12 (including iPod®) is equipped with
software to protect the device from overheating.
When the software is active, the rate of charge
is slowed down to protect the device.
Phones must always be placed on the wireless
charging pad within the outline shown on the
pad so that its charging parts connect with the charging coils of the system. Movement of the
phone during charging may prevent or slow the
rate of charge.
Having multiple applications open on the phone
while charging will reduce the charging effi
-
ciency, and may even shut down an application
that is actively running (i.e. Apple CarPlay®).
This may also cause the phone to overheat.
Wireless chargers may implement certain
methods to prevent the phone from overheating
during charging such as slowing down the rate
of charge. In certain instances, the device may
shut down for a brief period of time (when the
device reaches a certain temperature). If this
happens, it does not mean there is a fault with
the wireless charing pad. This may just be a
protective measure to prevent damage to the
phone.
WINDOWS
POWER WINDOW CONTROLS
The power window controls, located on the driver's
door trim panel, operate the window movement for
all four power windows.
There is a single switch on the front passenger
door and rear passenger doors which operates the
windows for only that door.

Driver’s Door Power Window Switches

NOTE:
The power window switches remain active for up
to 10 minutes after the ignition has been placed
in the OFF position. Opening a vehicle front door
will cancel this feature.
CAUTION!
The key fob should not be placed on the
charging pad or within 6 inches (15 cm) of it.
Doing so can cause excessive heat buildup and
damage to the fob. Placing the fob in close
proximity of the charging pad blocks the fob from
being detected by the vehicle and prevents the
vehicle from starting.
