(Continued)
When the vehicle is turned off, be sure to unplug any
equipment as to not drain the battery of the vehicle. All
accessories connected to the outlet(s) should be removed
or turned off when the vehicle is not in use to protect the
battery against discharge.
POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED
A 115 Volt (400 Watts maximum) inverter may be located
inside the center console towards the right hand side. This
inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and other
low power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts.
Certain video game consoles exceed this power limit, as
will most power tools.

Center Console Power Inverter Outlet

There is also a second 115 Volt (400 Watts maximum)
power inverter located on the rear of the center console.
This inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts. Certain video game consoles exceed this power limit, as
will most power tools.
All power inverters are designed with built-in overload
protection. If the power rating of 400 Watts is exceeded,
the power inverter shuts down. Once the electrical device
has been removed from the outlet the inverter should
reset.

Rear Center Console Power Inverter Outlet

NOTE:
400 Watts is the maximum for the inverter, not each
outlet. If three outlets are in use, 400 Watts is shared
amongst the devices plugged in.
If equipped with a front bench seat, there may be a
115 Volt (400 Watts maximum) inverter located to the
right of the center stack, just below the climate controls.
This inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts.
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.). Eventually, if plugged in
long enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge suffi -
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
 Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will discharge the
battery even more quickly. Only use these intermit -
tently and with greater caution.
 After the use of high power draw accessories, or long
periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces -
sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the generator to
recharge the vehicle's battery.
CAUTION!

Center Stack Power Inverter

To turn on the power outlet, simply plug in a device.
The outlet turns off when the device is unplugged.
NOTE:
The Center Stack Power Inverter is only available on
vehicles equipped with a front bench seat.
 The power inverter only turns on if the ignition is in the
ACC or ON/RUN position.
 Due to built-in overload protection, the power inverter
shuts down if the power rating is exceeded.
WIRELESS CHARGING PAD —
I
F EQUIPPED

Wireless Charging Pad

Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi wireless
charging pad located inside of the center console.
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.
The wireless charging pad is equipped with an anti-slip
mat, a cradle to hold your mobile phone in place, and an
LED indicator light.
LED Indicator Status:
NOTE:Using a phone case may interfere with wireless charging.

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:
 The ignition must be in the ON/RUN or START position
and all vehicle doors must be closed for the wireless
charging pad to operate.
 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.
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.

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 efficiency, 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 tempera -
ture). If this happens, it does not mean there is a fault
with the wireless charging pad. This may just be a
protective measure to prevent damage to the phone.UV-C LIGHT — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a UV-C light located
inside the glove compartment used to hygienize surface
areas of items placed inside. The UV-C light hygienizes
using a very specialized, and high powered, UV-C light
source.
NOTE:No chemicals are used in the hygienizing process.
The UV-C light switch is located on the instrument panel,
below the radio.

UV-C Light Switch

Operating Instructions

1. Place item to be hygienized inside the glove compartment, and close the door completely.

2. Push the UV-C light switch on the instrument panel to start the operation. The LED indicator light on the
switch will turn on (blue) during the UV-C hygienizing
operation. The LED indicator light will remain on and solid until the
hygienizing operation is complete. The indicator light will
turn off, and an audible chime will be heard when the
operation is successfully completed.
NOTE:One complete hygienizing cycle takes about three
minutes.
If the hygienizing operation is interrupted or stopped, the
LED indicator light will blink for five seconds, and the UV-C
light will be ready for a new cycle when the blinking has
stopped.
Any objects placed in the glove compartment for
hygienizing must be repositioned as many times as
necessary to ensure that the UV-C light hits every surface
of the object.
NOTE:

The UV-C light only operates with the ignition in the
ON/RUN position.
 The UV-C light is not intended for medical use. Use of
the UV-C light does not guarantee that the user will
avoid illness.
 Surfaces must be directly exposed to the UV ray in
order to be hygienized. Rays will not penetrate mate -
rials like cloth, paper, or regular glass. Therefore, it is
important to remove items from the direct line of sight
that would block or shield the rays from other surfaces.
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.

may be located inside the RamBox of your vehicle.
The inverter can be turned on by the Instrument Panel
Power Inverter switch located to the left of the steering
wheel. The RamBox inverter can power cellular phones,
electronics and other low power devices requiring power
up to 400 Watts. Certain video game consoles exceed this
power limit, as will most power tools.

RamBox Power Inverter

The Instrument Panel Power Inverter switch is only found
on vehicles equipped with a RamBox. The switch only
controls on/off operation of the power outlet in the
RamBox; it does not control on/off operation of the power
outlets located inside the cabin of the vehicle.
