POWER OUTLETS
The front power outlet is located under the center
stack of the instrument panel. It only operates with
the ignition in the ON/RUN position. The power

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!
Do not connect devices with power higher than
180 Watts (15 Amps) to the socket. Do not
damage the socket by using unsuitable
adaptors. If the 180 Watt (15 Amp) power rating

F94 Fuse 15A Blue Instrument Panel Power Outlet

POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt Power Inverter outlet
located on the back of the center console to
convert DC current to AC current. The Power
Inverter can power cellular phones, electronics
and other low power devices requiring up to

150 Watts. Certain video game consoles will
excee d

this power limit, as will most power tools.
115 Volt Power Inverter

The Power Inverter will automatically turn on and
off wh e

n a device is plugged in or removed.
In order for the Power Inverter to work, the engine
must b
e running and there must be no faults
detected with the alternator.
The Power Inverter is designed with built-in
overloa d

protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the Power Inverter will
a utomat

ically shut down. Once the electrical
device has been removed from the Power Inverter
it will automatically reset. To avoid overloading the
circuit, check the power ratings on electrical
devices prior to using the Power Inverter.
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
batte r

y will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from
starting.
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.

82 STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
If the vehicle fails to shut off using the ignition
Ú page 64.
Opening the driver side door with the ignition in
R UN w i

ll sound a short chime that reminds the
driver to place the ignition to OFF.
When the ignition is in the OFF position, the
window

switches remain active for three minutes.
Opening a front door will cancel this function.
After severe driving, idle the engine to allow the
tempe r

ature inside the engine compartment to
cool before shutting off the engine.
TURBOCHARGER “COOL DOWN” —
I
F EQUIPPED
This vehicle is equipped with an after-run pump to
cool the turbocharger after the engine is shut off.
Depending on the type of driving and the amount
of cargo, the pump will run for up to 10 minutes
after

the engine has been shut off to circulate
coolant through the turbocharger. Although the
pump is rubber-mounted for quiet operation, it is
normal to hear it running during this time.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine
and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your
vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km

). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
s p e
ed
s
up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are
desir a
ble.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within
the li
mits of local traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low
gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory
is a h
igh-quality energy conserving type lubricant.
Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated
climate conditions under which vehicle operations
will occur. For the recommended viscosity and
quality grades Ú page 345.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first
few t h
ousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This
should be considered a normal part of the break-in
and not interpreted as a problem.
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with an EPB that offers
simple operation, and some additional features
that make the parking brake more convenient and
useful.
The parking brake is primarily intended to prevent
the ve
hicle from rolling while parked. Before
leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking
brake is applied. Also, be certain to leave the
transmission in PARK.
The EPB switch is located in the center console.
You can engage the EPB in two ways:
Manually, by applying the parking brake switch.
Automatically, by enabling the Auto Park Brake
feature in the customer programmable features
section of the Uconnect settings or in “Safe
Hold” conditions.CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral
Oil in the engine or damage may result.

instrument cluster display Ú page 64.
If the “SERVICE STOP/START SYSTEM” message
appea r

system checked by an authorized dealer.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cruise
Control system, or the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) system:
Cruise Control for cruising at a constant preset
speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) for maintaining a
set distance between you and the vehicle ahead
using Fixed Speed Cruise Control to automati -
cally adjust the preset speed.
NOTE:
In vehicles equipped with ACC, if ACC is not
enabled, Fixed Speed Cruise Control will not
detect vehicles directly ahead of you. Always be
aware of the feature selected.
Only one Cruise Control feature can operate at a
time. For example, if Fixed Speed Cruise Control is enabled, Adaptive Cruise Control will be
unavailable, and vice versa.
CRUISE CONTROL
When engaged, the Cruise Control takes over
accelerator operations at speeds greater than
20
mph (32 km/h).
The Cruise Control buttons are located on the right
