LED Indicator Status:
No Light: Charging pad is idle or searching for a device.
 Blue Light: Device is detected and is charging.
 Red Light/Flashing: Internal error or foreign object is
detected.
Important Notes Regarding This Vehicle’s Wireless
Charging Pad:
 The wireless charging pad will not work if any of the
four doors or the liftgate are open, even if the engine is
running.
 Wireless charging is not as fast as when the phone is
connected to a wired charger.
 The phone’s protective case must be removed when
placed on the wireless charging pad.
 iPhone® 12 (including iPod®) is equipped with soft -
ware to protect the device from overheating. When the
software is active, the rate of charge is slowed down to
protect the device.
 Phones must always be placed on the wireless
charging pad within the outline shown on the pad so
that its charging parts connect with the charging coils
of the system. Movement of the phone during charging
may prevent or slow the rate of charge.
 Having multiple applications open on the phone while
charging will reduce the charging efficiency, and may
even shut down an application that is actively running
(i.e. Apple CarPlay®). This may also cause the phone to
overheat.
 Wireless chargers may implement certain methods to
prevent the phone from overheating during charging
such as slowing down the rate of charge. In certain instances, the device may shut down for a brief period
of time (when the device reaches a certain tempera
-
ture). If this happens, it does not mean there is a fault
with the wireless charing pad. This may just be a
protective measure to prevent damage to the phone.
WINDOWS
POWER WINDOWS
The window switches on the driver’s door trim panel
control all of the door windows.

Driver’s Power Window Controls

The driver may lock out the rear power windows by
pushing the bar control just below the power window
controls.

Window Lockout Switch

The window switches will operate only when the ignition is
in the ACC or ON/RUN position and during power
accessory delay.
NOTE:Power Window controls will also remain active for up to
10 minutes after the ignition has been placed in the OFF
position, depending upon the accessory delay setting.
Opening a front door will cancel this feature.
There is a single control on the front passenger’s door trim
panel which operates the passenger door window and a
set of controls that lock and unlock all doors. The controls
will operate only when the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN
position and during power accessory delay.
CAUTION!
The key fob should not be placed on the charging pad
or within 6 inches (15 cm) 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 prevents the
vehicle from starting.

NOTE:
The charging system is independent from load reduc -
tion. The charging system performs a diagnostic on the
charging system continuously.
 If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it may indicate
a problem with the charging system
Úpage 103.
The electrical loads that may be switched off (if equipped),
and vehicle functions which can be effected by load
reduction:
 Heated Seat/Vented Seats/Heated Wheel
 Heated/Cooled Cup Holders — If Equipped
 Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors
 HVAC System
 115 Volts AC Power Inverter System
 Audio and Telematics System
Loss of the battery charge may indicate one or more of the
following conditions:
 The charging system cannot deliver enough electrical
power to the vehicle system because the electrical
loads are larger than the capability of charging system.
The charging system is still functioning properly.
 Turning on all possible vehicle electrical loads (e.g.
HVAC to max settings, exterior and interior lights, over -
loaded power outlets +12 Volts, 150W, USB ports)
during certain driving conditions (city driving, towing,
frequent stopping).
 Installing options like additional lights, upfitter elec -
trical accessories, audio systems, alarms and similar
devices. 
Unusual driving cycles (short trips separated by long
parking periods).
 The vehicle was parked for an extended period of time
(weeks, months).
 The battery was recently replaced and was not charged
completely.
 The battery was discharged by an electrical load left on
when the vehicle was parked.
 The battery was used for an extended period with the
engine not running to supply radio, lights, chargers,
+12 Volt portable appliances like vacuum cleaners,
game consoles and similar devices.
What to do when an electrical load reduction action
message is present (“Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver
Mode”)
During a trip:
 Reduce power to unnecessary loads if possible:
 Turn off redundant lights (interior or exterior)
 Check what may be plugged in to power outlets
+12 Volts, 150W, USB ports
 Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature)
 Check the audio settings (volume)
After a trip:
 Check if any aftermarket equipment was installed
(additional lights, upfitter electrical accessories, audio
systems, alarms) and review specifications if any (load
and Ignition Off Draw currents). 
Evaluate the latest driving cycles (distance, driving
time and parking time).
 The vehicle should have service performed if the
message is still present during consecutive trips and
the evaluation of the vehicle and driving pattern did not
help to identify the cause.
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in the
instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/
or acoustic signal when applicable. These indications are
indicative and precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the
