WIRELESS ACCESSORY
CHARGING WARNING: Wireless charging
devices can affect the operation of
implanted medical devices, including
cardiac pacemakers. If you have any
implanted medical devices, we
recommend that you consult with your
physician.
The system supports one wireless charging
compatible device on the charging area.
Note: Devices without built-in Qi standards
for wireless charging require an additional
Qi receiver or sleeve.
Make sure the charging area is clean before
charging a device.
Do not place items with a magnetic strip,
for example passports, parking tickets or
credit cards near the charging area when
charging a device. This could damage the
magnetic strip.
Do not place metal objects, for example
remote controls, coins or keys on or near
the charging area when charging a device.
Metal objects may heat up and degrade
the charging performance. The charging area is below the

Charging time and temperature are
dependent on the device used. The system
stops charging the device if it reaches a high
temperature.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Extended idling at high
engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage. WARNING: Do not park, idle or drive
your vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats
up the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire. WARNING:
Do not start the engine
in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start the
engine. WARNING: Exhaust leaks may result
in entry of harmful and potentially lethal
fumes into the passenger compartment.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle inspected
immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately
5 mi
(8 km) after you reconnect it. This is
because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You
can disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise. When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the
engine.
