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.

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 high-end video game consoles exceed this power
limit, as will most power tools.
There is also a second 115 Volt (400 Watts Maximum)
power inverter located on the rear of the center console.
This inverter can power cellular phones, electronics andother low power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts.
Certain high-end video game consoles exceed this power
limit, as will most power tools.
All power inverters are designed with built-in overload
protection. If the power rating of 400 Watts is exceeded, the
power inverter shuts down. Once the electrical device has
been removed from the outlet the inverter should reset.
NOTE:
400 Watts is the maximum for the inverter, not
each outlet. If three outlets are in use, 400 Watts is shared
amongst the devices plugged in.

Wireless Charging Pad — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi wireless
charging pad located inside of the center console just below
the CD player. This charging pad is designed to wirelessly
charge your Qi enabled mobile phone. Qi is a standard that
uses magnetic induction to transfer power to your mobile
device.Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi wireless
charging. If the phone is not equipped with Qi wireless
charging functionality, an aftermarket sleeve or a special-
ized back plate can be purchased from your mobile phone
provider or an local electronics retailer. Please see your
phone’s owner ’s manual for further information.
The wireless charging pad is equipped with an anti-slip
mat, an adjustable cradle to hold your mobile phone in
place and an LED indicator light.
CAUTION!
The key fob should not be placed on the charging pad
or within 15 cm (150 mm) of it. Doing so can cause
excessive heat buildup and damage to the fob. Placing
the fob in close proximity of the charging pad blocks
the fob from being detected by the vehicle and pre-
vents the vehicle from starting.
NOTE: Visit UconnectPhone.com for supported mobile
phones and compatible aftermarket sleeves.
