to “Android Auto™” or “Apple CarPlay®” in the
Owner’s Manual Supplement.
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. A pop-up will appear and allow you to select
the device transferring data.
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

Rear USB Ports

Applicable to only Uconnect 5/5 NAV With 8.4-inch
Display, and Uconnect 5 NAV With 12-inch Display
radios, different scenarios are listed as follows
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”.
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 touch -
screen 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.

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.
For further information, refer to the Uconnect
Owner’s Manual Supplement or visit
UconnectPhone.com.
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.
A key symbol indicates that the ignition must be in
the ON/RUN or ACC positions for the outlet to
provide power. The battery symbol indicates that
the outlet is connected to the battery, and can
provide power at all times.

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.
Power Outlet — Top Of Center Stack
Power Outlet Fuse Locations:
F104 Fuse 20 A Yellow UCI Port/ USB Rear
Center Console
F90 Fuse 20 A Yellow Instrument Panel Power

F91 Fuse 20 A Yellow Instrument Panel Power
Outlet Ignition Fed (If Equipped)
F93 Fuse 20 A Yellow Cigar Lighter/ Instrument
Panel Power Outlet (If Equipped)
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
If equipped, a 115 Volt (400 Watts maximum)
inverter may be located inside the center console
towards the right hand side, just under the
Wireless Charging Pad (if equipped). 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.
CAUTION!
Do not exceed the maximum power of 160
Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watts
(13 Amps) power rating is exceeded, the fuse
protecting the system will need to be replaced.
Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not insert any other object in
the power outlets as this will damage the
outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use of the
power outlet can cause damage not covered
by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
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 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 discharge the
battery even more quickly. Only use these inter -
mittently 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.
