The vehicle may be equipped
with side-rails for a roof rack
system. Cargo must be
secured with properly installed
cross rails and other
accessories designed to carry
cargo. These can be
purchased from your dealer.
{Warning
Before driving and
occasionally during a trip,
check that cargo is securely
fastened, rests evenly
between the cross rails and
does not block the vehicle's
lamps or windows. Never
load cargo directly on the
roof of the vehicle or allow
cargo to hang over the rear
or sides of the vehicle.
Never load cargo without
first properly installing cross
rails and other accessories
designed to carry cargo.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Personal injury, death or
damage to the vehicle or
other property may occur.
If driving for a long distance,
on rough roads, or at high
speeds, occasionally stop the
vehicle to make sure the cargo
remains in its place.
Cargo Weight Limits
Do not exceed the maximum
cargo weight for the roof rack
system, including the weight
of the cross rails and any
other accessories used to
carry the cargo such as bike
racks or roof boxes. The
maximum cargo weight that
can be loaded onto the roof
rack system is 100 kg (220 lb)
or the weight designated in
the instructions that came
with the cross rails or other
roof rack accessories,
whichever is less.

{Warning
Never load the roof rack
with more weight than
specified in this section.
Loading cargo on the roof
rack will make the vehicle's
center of gravity higher. To
avoid losing control of the
vehicle, avoid overloading,
high speeds, sudden starts,
sharp turns, sudden braking,
or abrupt maneuvers when
carrying cargo on the
roof rack.
The weight of any cargo
carried on the roof rack
system must be included in
calculating the loaded weight
of the vehicle. Do not exceed
the maximum vehicle capacity
when loading the vehicle,
including cargo carried on the roof rack system and
passengers and cargo carried
in the vehicle. For more
information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see
Vehicle Load Limits
0252.

designed to operate for a
certain number of miles or
degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in
an open area where it can
receive a GPS signal. The
compass system will
automatically determine when
a GPS signal is restored and
provide a heading again.

equipment, be sure to follow
the proper installation instructions included with the
equipment. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment
0360.

only, such as cell phone
charge cords.
Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the
vehicle has wireless charging
in the storage under the
armrest. The system operates
at 145 kHz and wirelessly
charges one Qi compatible
smartphone. The power
output of the system is

up to 3 amp (15 W), as
requested by the compatible
smartphone. See Radio

during a Bluetooth phone call,
or when phone projection (e.g.
Apple CarPlay / Android Auto)
is active. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0263.
The operating temperature is
−40 °C (−40 °F) to 85 °C
(185 °F) for the charging
system and 0 °C (32 °F) to

the infotainment display,
next to the phone icon.
This indicates that the
smartphone is detected.
5. If a smartphone is placed on the charger and
]
turns off or turns yellow,

and any objects from the
pocket. Turn the
smartphone 180 degrees
and wait a few seconds
before placing/aligning it
on the pocket again.

enough to cause an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying
attention to the warning lights
and gauges could prevent
injury.
Some warning lights come on
briefly when the engine is
started to indicate they are
working. When one of the
warning lights comes on and
stays on while driving, or when
one of the gauges shows
there may be a problem, check
the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs
can be costly and even
dangerous.
