recirculated air on and drive with the
windows open until you feel cold air
through the air vents. How can I reduce the humidity build-up
inside my vehicle?
Do not drive with the system off or
with recirculated air on.

when the outside temperature and
in-vehicle temperature is high? The system temporarily selects
recirculated air to maximize cooling.
What happens if I switch auto mode on
when the outside temperature is low
and the engine is cold? Air is directed to the windshield and
the outer instrument panel air vents.

WHAT IS THE POWER OUTLET
The power outlet can power devices that
use a household plug.
POWER OUTLET
PRECAUTIONS - 1.5L
ECOBOOST™
WARNING: Do not keep electrical
devices plugged in the power point
whenever the device is not in use. Do not
use any extension cord with the 110 volt
AC power point, since it will defeat the
safety protection design. Doing so may
cause the power point to overload due
to powering multiple devices that can
reach beyond the 150 watt load limit and
could result in fire or serious injury.
POWER OUTLET
PRECAUTIONS - 2.0L
ECOBOOST™ WARNING:
Do not keep electrical
devices plugged in the power point
whenever the device is not in use. Do not
use any extension cord with the 110 volt
AC power point, since it will defeat the
safety protection design. Doing so may
cause the power point to overload due
to powering multiple devices that can
reach beyond the 400 watt load limit
and could result in fire or serious injury.
Note: The vehicle provides up to 400 watts
when in park and up to 300 watts when in
drive mode. This wattage is divided between
multiple outlets when in use at the same
time. LOCATING THE POWER
OUTLET
The power outlets are located on the rear
of the center console, and in the cargo
area.
POWER OUTLET INDICATORS
The power outlet indicator illuminates to
let you know the status of the system.

Flashing
Note: Due to different technologies used
on its construction, some devices may
exceed the capacity shown on its label
when they are initially plugged in.
Note: The power outlet temporarily turns
off power when in fault mode if the device
exceeds the Watt limit. Unplug your device
and switch the ignition off. Switch the
ignition back on, but do not plug your device
back in. Let the system cool off and switch
the ignition off to reset the fault mode.
