The wiper operations return to
normal when the transmission is no
longer in N (Neutral) or the vehicle
speed has increased.
Reverse Gear Wipes
If the rear wiper control is off, the
rear wiper will automatically operate
continuously when the shift lever is
in R (Reverse), and the front
windshield wiper is performing low
or high speed wipes. If the rear
wiper control is off, the shift lever is
in R (Reverse), and the front
windshield wiper is performing
interval wipes, then the rear wiper
automatically performs interval
wipes.
This feature can be turned on or off.
SeeVehicle Personalization 0154.
The windshield washer reservoir is
used for the windshield and the rear
window. Check the fluid level in the
reservoir if either washer is not
working. See Washer Fluid 0306.Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives
its heading and other information
from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna, StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC),
and vehicle speed information.
The compass system is 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.

when not in use.
The accessory power outlets are
powered as follows:
.The power outlet near the
cupholders for vehicles with a
center console or on the center
stack for vehicles with bench
seats, can be configured to
operate using Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) or
battery power modes. If these
power outlets are used while in
the battery power mode, this
could cause interference
between the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter and the
vehicle, and the vehicle may not
start. See Ignition Positions
(Keyless Access) 0205 or
Ignition Positions (Key Access)
0 207.
. The power outlets in the third
row seat area or in the rear
cargo area are powered at all
times. The power outlets inside
the storage area, on the rear of
the console, or on the bench
seat are only powered when the ignition is on or in ACC/
ACCESSORY, or when RAP is
active.
{Warning
Power is always supplied to the
outlet, if configured accordingly.
Do not leave electrical equipment
plugged in when the vehicle is not
in use because the vehicle could
catch fire and cause injury or
death.
Caution
Leaving electrical equipment
plugged in for an extended period
of time while the ignition is off will
drain the battery. Always unplug
electrical equipment when not in
use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum
15 amp rating.
Certain power accessory plugs may
not be compatible with the
accessory power outlet and could
overload vehicle or adapter fuses.
If a problem is experienced, see
your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment,
be sure to follow the proper
installation instructions included with
the equipment. See
Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0282.
Caution

110/120-volt power outlet is on the
center stack below the climate
controls.
An indicator light on the outlet turns
on to show it is in use. The light
comes on when the ignition is on,
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 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 ignition off and
then back to on. 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 they are 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 and touch
sensor lamps
. Medical equipment
Wireless Charging
The vehicle may have wireless
charging on top of the center
console. See Center Console

at 145 kHz and wirelessly charges
one Qi compatible smartphone. The
power output of the system is
capable of charging at a rate up to
1 amp (5W), as requested by the
compatible smartphone. See Radio
Frequency Statement 0410.

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.
