from locking/unlocking the vehicle.
Passive Entry unlock initiates illuminated
approach (low beams, license plate lamp,
parking lights, door handle pocket lights [if equipped]) for a preset duration of 0, 30, 60 or
90 seconds. Passive Entry unlock also initiates
two flashes of the turn signal lights.
If wearing gloves, if it has been raining/snowing,
or there is salt/dirt covering the Passive Entry
door handle, the unlock and lock sensitivity can
be affected, resulting in a slower response time.
The doors may lock and unlock when water is
sprayed on the Passive Entry door handles, if
the key fob is located outside of the vehicle
within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the handle.
Passive Entry lock initiates one horn chirp and
one flash of turn signal lights. These settings
can be programmed on/off within Uconnect
Settings Ú
page 204.
If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and
no door is opened within 60 seconds, the
vehicle will relock and will rearm the Vehicle
Security system (if equipped).

POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED
There is a 115 Volt, 150 W inverter outlet located
on the back of the center console to convert DC
current to AC current. This outlet can power cellular
phones, electronics and other low power devices
requiring power up to 150 W. Certain video game
consoles exceed this power limit, as will most
power tools.
Power Inverter

The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of 150 W is
exceeded, the power inverter automatically shuts
down. Once the electrical device has been
removed from the outlet the inverter should
automatically reset. To avoid overloading the
circuit, check the power ratings on electrical
devices prior to using the inverter.
WIRELESS CHARGING PAD —
I
F EQUIPPED

Wireless Charging Pad

Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15 W3 Amp
Qi wireless charging pad located inside of the
storage area below the climate controls. This
charging pad is designed to wirelessly charge your
Qi enabled mobile phone. Qi is a standard that
allows wireless charging of your mobile phone.
Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi
wireless charging. If the phone is not equipped
with Qi wireless charging functionality, an
aftermarket sleeve or a specialized back plate can
be purchased from your mobile phone provider or
a local electronics retailer. Please see your
phone’s owner’s manual for further information.
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will
degrade the battery even more quickly. Only
use these intermittently and with greater
caution.
After the use of high power draw accessories,
or long periods of the vehicle not being started
(with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle
must be driven a sufficient length of time to
allow the generator to recharge the vehicle's
battery.
CAUTION!
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an
electric shock and failure.

23_WL_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 80

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE81
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.
