Power Outlet
The accessory 12V power outlet can
be used to plug in electrical equip-
ment such as a mobile phone or
other electronic device.The accessory power outlet only
works with the vehicle turned ON.
The devices should draw less than
180 W with the engine running.
To prevent damage to the Power
Outlets :
• Use the power outlet only when
the engine is running and
remove the accessory plug after
use. Using the accessory plug
for prolonged periods of time
with the engine off could cause
the battery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric acces- sories which are less than 180 W
in electric capacity. Adjust the air-conditioner or
heater to the lowest operating
level when using the power out-
let.
Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference
when plugged into a vehicle’s
power outlet. These devices may
cause excessive audio static
and malfunctions in other elec-
tronic systems or devices used
in your vehicle.
Push the plug in as far as it will go. If good contact is not made,
the plug may overheat and the
fuse may blow.
Plug in battery equipped electri- cal/electronic devices with
reverse current protection. The
current from the battery may
flow into the vehicle’s electri-

To charge a cellular phone
The wireless cellular phone charging
system charges only the Qi-enabled
cellular phones ( ). Read the label
on the cellular phone accessory
cover or visit your cellular phone
manufacturer's website to check
whether your cellular phone supports
the Qi technology.
The wireless charging process starts
when you put a Qi-enabled cellular
phone on the wireless charging unit.
1. Remove other items, including the
smart key, from the wireless
charging unit. If not, the wireless
charging process may be inter-
rupted. Place the cellular phone
on the center of the charging pad
().
2. The indicator light is orange when
the cellular phone is charging. The
indicator light turns green when
phone charging is complete.
3. You can turn ON or OFF the wire-
less charging function in the user
settings mode on the instrument
cluster. For further information,
refer to the "LCD Display Modes"
in this chapter.If your cellular phone is not charging:
- Slightly change the position of the
cellular phone on the charging
pad.
- Make sure the indicator light is
orange.
The indicator light will blink orange
for 10 seconds if there is a malfunc-
tion in the wireless charging system.
In this case, temporarily stop the
charging process, and re-attempt to
charge your cellular phone again.
The system warns you with a mes-
sage on the LCD display if the cellu-
lar phone is still on the wireless
charging unit after the engine is
turned OFF and the front door is
opened.
Information
For some manufacturer's cellular
phones, the system may not warn you
even though the cellular phone is left
on the wireless charging unit. This is
due to the particular characteristic of
the cellular phone and not a malfunc-
tion of the wireless charging. The wireless cellular phone
charging system may not sup-
port certain cellular phones,
which are not verified for the Qi
specification ( ).
When placing your cellular
phone on the charging mat,
position the phone in the middle
of the mat for optimal charging
performance. If your cell phone
is off to the side, the charging
rate may be less and in some
cases the cell phone may experi-
ence higher heat conduction.
In some cases, the wireless
charging may stop temporarily
when the Remote Key or Smart
Key is used, either when starting
the vehicle or locking/unlocking
the doors, etc.
When charging certain cellular
phones, the charging indicator
may not change to green when
the cell phone is fully charged.

Convenient features of your vehicle
For certain cellular phones with
their own protection, the wire-
less charging speed may
decrease and the wireless
charging may stop if the temper-
ature inside the vehicle is too
high or low.
When the inside temperature is
too high or low do not use the
system and wait until the tem-
perature maintains a proper
level before using the system.
The wireless charging process
may temporarily stop, when tem-
perature abnormally increases
inside the wireless cellular
phone charging system. Stop
the charging cellular phone and
wait until temperature falls to a
certain level.
The wireless charging process
may temporarily stop when
there is any metallic item, such
as a coin, between the wireless
cellular phone charging system
and the cellular phone. When charging some cellular
phones with a self-protection
feature, the wireless charging
speed may decrease and the
wireless charging may stop.
If the cellular phone has a thick
cover, the wireless charging may
not be possible.
If the cell phone is not complete-
ly contacting the charging pad,
wireless charging may not oper-
ate properly.
Some magnetic items like credit
cards, phone cards or rail tickets
may be damaged if left with the
cellular phone during the charg-
ing process.
When any cellular phone with-
out a wireless charging function
or a metallic object is placed on
the charging pad, a small noise
may sound. This small sound is
due to the vehicle discerning
compatibility of the object
placed on the charging pad. It
does not affect your vehicle or
the cellular phone in any way.
Information
If the ignition switch is in the OFF
position, the charging also stops.
Information
This device complies with part 15 of
the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
2. This device must accept any inter-
ference received, including interfer-

The All Wheel Drive (AWD) system
delivers engine torque to both the
front and rear wheels for extra trac-
tion.
AWD is useful when maximum trac-
tion is required on slippery, muddy,
wet, or snow-covered roads.Occasional off-road use such as
established unpaved roads and trails
are OK. It is always important that
the driver carefully reduces the
speed to a level that does not exceed
the safe operating speed for those
conditions.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
Do not drive in conditions that
exceed the vehicles intended
design such as challenging
off-road conditions.
Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
The risk of a rollover is great-
ly increased if you lose con-
trol of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.

Driving your vehicle
Maintain AWD Auto mode when
driving on roads in normal con-
ditions.
When driving under normal road
conditions (especially when cor-
nering) in AWD Lock mode, a
driver may find minor mechani-
cal vibration or noise, which is
extremely normal phenomenon,
not a malfunction. When AWD
Lock mode is released, such
noise or vibration will be imme-
diately gone.When driving on normal roads,
deactivate the AWD LOCK mode
by pushing the AWD LOCK button
(AWD LOCK indicator light goes
off). Driving on normal roads with
the AWD LOCK mode, especially,
when cornering may cause
mechanical noise or vibration. The
noise and vibration will disappear
when the AWD LOCK mode is
deactivated. Prolong driving with
the noise and vibration may dam-
age some parts of the power train.
Information
When the AWD LOCK mode is deac-
tivated, a sensation may be felt as the
driving power is delivered entirely to
the front wheels.
For safe AWD operation
Before driving
Make sure all passengers are
wearing seat belts.
Sit upright and closer to the steer-
ing wheel than usual. Adjust the
steering wheel to a position com-
fortable for you to drive.
Driving on snow-covered or icy
roads
Start off slowly by applying the
accelerator pedal gently.
Use snow tires or tire chains.
Keep sufficient distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you.
Apply engine braking during decel-
eration by switching the gear shift
lever to Manual Shift Mode and
manually selecting a lower gear.
Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns to prevent skids.
