NOTE:Charge unsupported devices with the Charge Only USB
ports. If an unsupported device is plugged into a Media
USB port, a message will display on the touchscreen that
the device is not supported by the system.
Plugging in a phone or another USB device may cause the
connection to a previous device to be lost.
If equipped, your vehicle may also contain a USB port
located on the top tray of the vehicle’s center console.
If equipped, two Mini-USB ports (Type C), two Standard
USB ports (Type A), and one AUX port may be located to the
left of the center stack, just below the climate controls.
Center Console USB/AUX Media Hub
Some USB ports support media and charging. You can use
features, such as Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™,
Pandora®, and others while charging your phone.
NOTE:Plugging in a phone or another USB device may cause the
connection to a previous device to be lost.

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS
The auxiliary 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlet can provide
power for in-cab accessories designed for use with the
standard “cigarette lighter” style plug. The 12 Volt power
outlets and 5 Volt (2.5 Amp) USB Port (Charge Only) have
a cap attached to the outlet indicating “12V DC”, together
with either a key symbol, battery symbol, or USB symbol.
An auxiliary power outlet can be found in the tray on top of
the center stack. This power outlet works when the ignition
is in the ON/RUN, ACC, or OFF position.
