CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use cleaners or solvents as this
could damage your mobile charger. Do not
place stress on the charger cables. If unit
overheats, remove the mobile charger from
direct sunlight.
SAFETY FEATURES
The charger includes the following safety
features to protect against the risk of
electric shock:
•
Service Ground Check: The charger
constantly checks for the presence of
a service ground connection. If the
service ground ever fails, the charger
red indicator turns ON and shuts down
power to the vehicle.
• Thermal Event Sensor: Charger module
senses out-of-ordinary thermal events
and decreases the charging current or
shuts the unit down if required.
• Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
Protection: The charger has a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) reaction
system to protect against electric
shock. If the charger module detects
an output ground fault, it shuts down
power to the output cable and
illuminates the red indicator.
• Insulation: The charger module,
connector, cable assembly, and charge
coupler are completely insulated.
There are no exposed live parts, to
protect against electric shock.
• Unintentional Disconnection: The
charge coupler is designed to minimize
unintentional disconnection. A pilot
signal wire in the cable and charge
coupler eliminates the possibility of
electric shock when not connected to
a vehicle or if an unintended disconnect
occurs during a charge. Disconnection
during charging is safe. LOCATING THE CHARGE PORT
The charge port is between the front
left-hand side door and front left-hand
wheel well. To open, press the center
right-hand edge of the charge port door
and then release.
Note:
Do not apply excessive force. Forcing
the door open or closed damages the charge
port.
CHARGE PORT INDICATORS
The charge status indicator is next to the
charging port behind the charge port door.
It indicates the charge status of the high
voltage battery in your vehicle.
Divided into five zones, the charge status
indicator displays the state of charge in 20
percent increments.
The charge status indicator displays how
far along the charge is:
• When zone A is pulsing, the charge is
between 0-20 percent.
• When zone A illuminates, and zone B
is pulsing, the charge is between 20-40
percent.
• When zones A and B illuminate and
zone C is pulsing, the charge is between
40-60 percent.

HOW DOES STABILITY
CONTROL WORK
WARNING: Vehicle modifications
involving braking system, aftermarket
roof racks, suspension, steering system,
tire construction and wheel and tire size
may change the handling characteristics
of your vehicle and may adversely affect
the performance of the electronic
stability control system. In addition,
installing any stereo loudspeakers may
interfere with and adversely affect the
electronic stability control system. Install
any aftermarket stereo loudspeaker as
far as possible from the front center
console, the tunnel, and the front seats
in order to minimize the risk of interfering
with the electronic stability control
sensors. Reducing the effectiveness of
the electronic stability control system
could lead to an increased risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death. WARNING:
Remember that even
advanced technology cannot defy the
laws of physics. It's always possible to
lose control of a vehicle due to
inappropriate driver input for the
conditions. Aggressive driving on any
road condition can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk
of personal injury or property damage.
Activation of the electronic stability
control system is an indication that at
least some of the tires have exceeded
their ability to grip the road; this could
reduce the operator's ability to control
the vehicle potentially resulting in a loss
of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. If your
electronic stability control system
activates, SLOW DOWN. If a driving condition activates either the
stability control or the traction control
system you may experience the following
conditions:
•
The stability and traction control light
flashes.
• Your vehicle slows down.
• Reduced power.
The stability control system has several
features built into it to help you maintain
control of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic stability control enhances your
vehicle ’s ability to prevent skids or lateral
slides by applying brakes to one or more
of the wheels individually and, if necessary,
reducing power.
Curve Control
Curve control enhances your vehicle ’s
ability to follow the road when cornering
severely or avoiding objects in the roadway.
Curve control operates by reducing power
and, if necessary, applying brakes to one
or more of the wheels individually.
Traction Control
Traction control enhances your vehicle ’s
ability to maintain traction of the wheels
by detecting and controlling wheel spin.
See What Is Traction Control (page 199).

PARKING AID PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system. WARNING:
The system may not
detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash. WARNING: Traffic control systems,
fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,
air brakes, external motors and fans may
affect the correct operation of the
sensing system. This may cause reduced
performance or false alerts. WARNING:
The system may not
detect small or moving objects,
particularly those close to the ground. WARNING:
The parking aid system
can only assist you to detect objects
when your vehicle is moving at parking
speeds. To help avoid personal injury you
must take care when using the parking
aid system. WARNING:
The system may not
function if the sensor is blocked. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance. WARNING:
If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. Note:
If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the rear parking aid detects the trailer and
provides an alert. Disable the parking aid
when you connect a trailer to prevent the
alert.
Note: Certain add-on devices installed
around the bumper or fascia may create
false alerts, for example, large trailer
hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate
brackets, bumper covers or any other device
that could block the normal detection zone
of the parking aid system. Aftermarket spare
tires or spare tire covers mounted to the rear
tailgate could cause false alerts from the
park aid system. Remove the add-on device
to prevent false alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. If the
sensors are covered, the system's accuracy
can be affected.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp
