Seat Belts
This section describes how to use seat belts
properly, and some things not to do.
{Warning
Do not let anyone ride where a seat belt
cannot be worn properly. In a crash,
if you or your passenger(s) are not
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
wearing seat belts, injuries can be much
worse than if you are wearing seat belts.
You can be seriously injured or killed by
hitting things inside the vehicle harder or
by being ejected from the vehicle. In
addition, anyone who is not buckled up
can strike other passengers in the vehicle.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, passengers riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed. Do not allow passengers
to ride in any area of the vehicle that is
not equipped with seats and seat belts.
Always wear a seat belt, and check that
all passenger(s) are restrained
properly too.
This vehicle has indicators as a reminder to
buckle the seat belts. See Seat Belt
Reminders 0112.

104 Instruments and Controls
Troubleshooting
The power outlets will be momentarily
unavailable at the start and the end of a
350 kW DC Fast Charge. This is normal
operation.
For any error messages that can not be
resolved by resetting fault mode as
discussed earlier in this section, see your
dealer.
{Warning
The power outlets contain high-voltage
electrical equipment. Disassembling the
power outlets may result in electrical
shock causing personal injury or death.
Never attempt to disassemble a power
outlet.
Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the vehicle has
wireless charging in the bin below the
climate control system. The system operates
at 145 kHz and wirelessly charges one Qi
compatible smartphone. The power output
of the system is capable of charging at a
rate up to 3 amp (15 W), as requested by
the compatible smartphone. SeeRadio
Frequency Statement 0404.
{Warning
Wireless charging may affect the
operation of an implanted pacemaker or
other medical devices. If you have one, it
is recommended to consult with your
doctor before using the wireless charging
system.
The vehicle must be on or Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) must be active. The
wireless charging feature may not correctly
indicate charging when the vehicle is in RAP,
during a Bluetooth phone call, or when
phone projection (e.g. Apple CarPlay/Android
Auto) is active. See Power Modes0197.
The operating temperature is −40 °C (−40 °F)
to 85 °C (185 °F) for the charging system and
0 °C (32 °F) to 35 °C (95 °F) for the phone.
A charging stopped alert may be displayed
on the infotainment screen, if the wireless
charger or smartphone are outside of
normal operating temperature. Charging will
automatically resume when a normal
operating temperature is reached.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the charger
before charging your compatible
smartphone. Objects, such as coins, keys,
rings, paper clips, or cards, between the
smartphone and charger may become
very hot.
On the rare occasion that the charging
system does not detect an object, and
the object gets wedged between the
smartphone and charger, remove the
smartphone and allow the object to cool
before removing it from the charger, to
prevent burns.
To charge a compatible smartphone: 1. Confirm the smartphone is capable of wireless charging.
2. The wireless charger is below the climate control system.

Instruments and Controls 111
English Single Battery Gauge Shown, OthersSimilar
This displays the high voltage battery state
of charge. The value at the bottom is an
estimate of how far the vehicle can be
driven on the remaining charge based on
recent driving habits, conditions, and HVAC
usage.
The fill bars shown inside of the gauge
indicate the percentage range as estimated
from current vehicle conditions and climate
settings. The range estimate on the bottom
also may be affected by climate settings,
current vehicle conditions and ambient
conditions. Estimated range may increase
and decrease based on climate control
energy consumption. Driving aggressively through hard
acceleration and/or braking events, excessive
HVAC usage, using heated or cooled seats,
battery preconditioning, and performance
modes can affect vehicle range estimates.
When the high voltage battery state of
charge level gets low, the gauge will change
color to amber. When the charge is very low
the gauge will flash, and the estimated
range value on the bottom will change to
LOW. Additional alerts may display and a
sound may also be heard at low state of
charge.
Power Indicator Gauge
Single Power Indicator Gauge Shown, Others
Similar The power indicator gauge is in the center
of the display to the right of the
speedometer in the Single Gauge layout.
This gauge displays the instantaneous
charge and consumption power of the high
voltage battery. Maximum power
consumption is available when the high
voltage battery is fully charged. During
normal operation, a slight reduction in
consumption power may occur as the high
voltage battery state of charge decreases.
Regenerative Braking
When regenerative braking is active, the
regen battery icon displays and will fill the
lower section of the gauge. The power
indicator gauge value shows the amount of
instantaneous power being regenerated.
Regenerative Power Limited
Regenerative power may be limited when
the high voltage battery is near full charge
or cold. This will affect the vehicle’s
maximum regenerative braking power.
