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.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the
charging pad before charging
your mobile device. Objects, such
as coins, keys, rings, paper clips,
or cards, between the phone and
charging pad will become very
hot. On the rare occasion that the
charging system does not detect
an object, and the object gets
wedged between the phone and
charger, remove the phone and
allow the object to cool before
removing it from the charging
pad, to prevent burns.
To charge a mobile device:
1. Remove all objects from the charging pad. The system may
not charge if there are any
objects between the phone and
charging pad.
2. Place the mobile device face up on the charging pad. 3. The
$will appear on theVon
the infotainment display. This
indicates that the mobile device
is properly positioned and
charging. If a phone is placed
on the charging pad and
$does
not appear, remove the phone
from the pad, turn it
180 degrees, and wait
three seconds before placing/
aligning the phone on the pad
again.

Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious 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.

When the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge indicates about how much
fuel is left in the tank. An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates the side of the vehicle the
fuel door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There is still
a little fuel left, but the fuel tank
should be filled soon.
Here are four things that some
owners ask about. None of these
show a problem with the fuel gauge:
.
At the service station, the fuel
pump shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
. It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge indicated the tank was
half full, but it actually took a
little more or less than half the
tank's capacity to fill the tank.
. The gauge moves a little while
turning a corner or speeding up.
. The gauge takes a few seconds
to stabilize after the ignition is
turned on, and goes back to
empty when the ignition is
turned off.

If equipped, this gauge indicates
vacuum during light to moderate
throttle and boost under heavier
throttle.
It displays the air pressure level in
the intake manifold before it enters
the engine's combustion chamber.
The gauge is automatically centered
at zero every time the engine is
started. Actual vacuum or boost is
displayed from this zero point.
Changes in ambient pressure, such
as driving in mountains and
changing weather, will slightly
change the zero reading.
Engine Oil Pressure
Gauge (Uplevel
Cluster Only)
Metric, Standard Theme Shown
English, Standard Theme Shown
The engine oil pressure gauge
shows the engine oil pressure
in kPa (kilopascals) when the engine
is running.
Oil pressure can vary with engine
speed, outside temperature and oil
viscosity.
On some models, the oil pump will
vary engine oil pressure according
to engine needs. Oil pressure may
change quickly as the engine speed
or load varies. This is normal.

Instruments and Controls 119
If the oil pressure warning light or
Driver Information Center (DIC)
message indicates oil pressure
outside the normal operating range,
check the vehicle's oil as soon as
possible. SeeEngine Oil0257.
Caution
Lack of proper engine oil
maintenance can damage the
engine. Driving with the engine oil
low can also damage the engine.
The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Check
the oil level as soon as possible.
Add oil if required, but if the oil
level is within the operating range
and the oil pressure is still low,
have the vehicle serviced. Always
follow the maintenance schedule
for changing engine oil.
