If you cannot feel temperature
change or pain to the skin, the seat
heater may cause burns. To reduce
the risk of burns, people with such
a condition should use care when
using the seat heater, especially for
long periods of time. Do not place
anything on the seat that insulates
against heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, cover, or similar item. This
may cause the seat heater to
overheat. An overheated seat heater
may cause a burn or may damage
the seat.

Power Outlets
Power Outlet 12 Volt Direct Current
The accessory power outlets can be
used to plug in electrical equipment,
such as a cell phone or MP3 player.
The vehicle has two accessory power
outlets:
. Inside the instrument panel
storage area below the climate
control system.
. On the rear of the center floor
console.
Lift the cover to access the accessory
power outlet. Certain electrical accessories may not
be compatible with the accessory
power outlet and could overload a
vehicle circuit breaker or adapter fuse.
If overloaded, the circuit breaker will
reset after all devices are disconnected
or if Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
is turned off and then back on. See
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
0188.
Wait one minute to allow the circuit
breaker to reset before reconnecting
devices or turning RAP back on. If the
problem continues, the issue could be
within your device. Try another
known good device to make sure the
circuit breaker is operating properly.
If this does not resolve your problem,
see your dealer.
It is possible to replace the factory
power outlet with a cigar lighter
receptacle, if desired. This requires the
factory installed circuit breaker to be
replaced with a standard minifuse by
the dealer. A minifuse will not reset
and will have to be replace if blown.
Caution
Failure to replace the circuit
breaker with the minifuse could
overheat the cigar lighter and
damage the vehicle.
When adding electrical equipment, be
sure to follow the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. See Add-On Electrical
Equipment 0230.
Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from the
power outlet can cause damage not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
The power outlets are designed for
accessory power plugs only, such as
cell phone charge cords.
Always unplug electrical equipment
when not in use and do not plug in
equipment that exceeds the maximum
15 amps rating.

104 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Power Outlet 220/230 Volt
Alternating Current
If equipped, this power outlet is on
the rear of the center floor console.
It can be used to plug in electrical
equipment that uses a maximum limit
of 150 watts.
An indicator light on the outlet turns
on to show it is in use. The light
comes on when the ignition is in ON/
RUN/START, equipment requiring less
than 150 watts is plugged into the
outlet, and no system fault is
detected.
The indicator light does not come on
when the ignition is in LOCK/OFF or if
the equipment is not fully seated into
the outlet.
If equipment is connected using more
than 150 watts or a system fault is
detected, a protection circuit shuts off
the power supply and the indicator
light turns off. To reset the circuit,
unplug the item and plug it back in or
turn the Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) off and then back on. See
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)0188.
The power restarts when equipment using 150 watts or less is plugged into
the outlet and a system fault is not
detected.
The power outlet is not designed for
the following and may not work
properly, if this equipment is
plugged in:
.
Equipment with high initial peak
wattage such as:
compressor-driven refrigerators
and electric power tools.
. Other equipment requiring an
extremely stable power supply
such as: microcomputer-controlled
electric blankets, touch sensor
lamps, etc.
. Medical equipment.
Wireless Charging
The vehicle may have wireless
charging in the storage behind the
climate control system. See Instrument
Panel Storage 096. The system
wirelessly charges one PMA or Qi
compatible mobile device. To check
for phone or other device
compatibility, see your dealer for
details.
{Warning
Wireless charging can 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 in ON/RUN/
START, ACC/ACCESSORY, or Retained
Accessory Power (RAP). The wireless
charging feature may not correctly
indicate charging when the vehicle is
in RAP. See Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) 0188.
The operating temperature is −20 °C
(−4 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) for the
charging system and 0 °C (32 °F) to
35 °C (95 °F) for the phone.

rare occasion that the charging
system does not detect a metal
object, and the object gets wedged
between the phone and charger,
remove the phone and allow the
metallic object to cool before
removing it from the charging pad,
to prevent burns.
To charge a mobile device:1. Open the climate control system panel. 2. Remove all objects from the
charging pad. The system may
not charge if there are any
objects on the charging pad.
