Coat Hooks — If Equipped
Coat hooks are located along the headliner for the second
and third row seating positions. The coat hook load limit is
10 lbs (4.5 kg). Exceeding the recommended load limit can
cause the coat hooks to break or disengage from the
vehicle.
Power Outlets
Your vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (15 Amp) power
outlets, and 5 Volt (2.5 Amp) USB power outlets, that can
be used to power cellular phones, small electronics and
other low powered electrical accessories. The power outlets
can be labeled with either a “key” or a “battery” symbol to
indicate how the outlet is powered. Power outlets labeled
with a “key” are powered when the ignition is in the ON or
ACC position, while the outlets labeled with a “battery”
are connected directly to the battery and powered at all
times.
NOTE:
•All accessories connected to the “battery” powered
outlets should be removed or turned off when the
vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against
discharge.
CAUTION!
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only.
Do not insert any other object in the power outlets as
this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Im-
proper use of the power outlet can cause damage not
covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Battery Saver On/Battery Saver Mode Message —
Electrical Load Reduction Actions — If Equipped
The vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor
(IBS) to perform additional monitoring of the 12 volt
electrical system and status of the 12 volt vehicle battery.
In cases when the IBS detects charging system failure, or
the 12 volt vehicle battery conditions are deteriorating,
electrical load reduction actions will take place to extend
the driving time and distance of the vehicle. This is done by
reducing power to or turning off non-essential 12 volt
electrical loads. Load reduction will be functional when the
vehicle propulsion system is active.
The vehicle may not be running depending on the HV
battery SOC or temperature. It will display a message if
there is a risk of battery depletion to the point where the
vehicle may stall due to lack of electrical supply, or will not
restart after the current drive cycle.
When 12 volt load reduction is activated, the message
“Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode” will appear in
the Instrument Cluster Display.
These messages indicate the 12 volt vehicle battery has a
low state of charge and continues to lose electrical charge at
a rate that the charging system cannot sustain.
