POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED
There is a 115 Volt, 150 W Power Inverter outlet located
on the right side of the vehicle, before the third row of
seats to convert DC current to AC current. The Power
Inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and other
low power devices requiring up to 150 W. Certain video
game consoles will exceed this power limit, as will most
power tools.

Power Inverter

The Power Inverter turns on when the device is plugged in,
and the ignition is in ON/RUN position. It turns off when
the device is unplugged or the ignition is no longer in ON/
RUN position.
The Power Inverter is designed with built-in overload
protection. If the power rating of 150 W is exceeded, the
Power Inverter shuts down. Once the electrical device has
been removed from the Power Inverter, it resets. To avoid
overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on
electrical devices prior to using the Power Inverter.
WIRELESS CHARGING PAD —
I
F EQUIPPED

Wireless Charging Pad Location

Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi wireless
charging pad located inside of the storage area below the
climate controls. This charging pad is designed to
wirelessly charge your Qi enabled mobile phone. Qi is a
standard that allows wireless charging of your mobile
phone.
Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi wireless
charging. If the phone is not equipped with Qi wireless
charging functionality, an aftermarket sleeve or a
specialized back plate can be purchased from your mobile
phone provider or a local electronics retailer. Please see
your phone’s owner’s manual for further information.
The wireless charging pad is equipped with an anti-slip
mat to hold your mobile phone in place, and an LED
indicator light.
CAUTION!
 Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power
from the vehicle's battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge suffi -
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
 Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these intermit -
tently and with greater caution.
 After the use of high power draw accessories, or long
periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces -
sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the generator to
recharge the vehicle's battery.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
 Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.
 Do not touch with wet hands.
 Close the lid when not in use.
 If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.

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.
