Charge Only USB Ports

If equipped with a Uconnect 4C/4C NAV with 8.4-inch
Display, refer to “Android Auto™” or “Apple CarPlay®” in
the Uconnect Radio Instruction Manual.
NOTE:Charge unsupported devices with the Charge Only USB
ports. If an unsupported device is plugged into a Media
USB port, a message will display on the touchscreen that
the device is not supported by the system.
POWER OUTLETS
Your vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (13 Amp) power
outlets that can be used to power cellular phones, small
electronics, and other low powered electrical accessories.
The power outlets are labeled with either a “key” symbol
or a “battery” symbol to indicate how the outlet is
powered. Power outlets labeled with a key symbol are
powered when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC
position, while the outlets labeled with a battery symbol
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.
The front power outlet is located in front of the gear
selector.

Front Power Outlet

A second fused 12 Volt power outlet is located on the left
quarter trim panel in the cargo area. This power outlet has
power available when the ignition switch is in the ON or
ACC position.

Rear Power Outlet

NOTE:
The rear cargo power outlet can be changed to battery
powered at all times by switching the rear power outlet
fuse in the Power Distribution Center panel from fuse
location F91 to F81.

ODE MESSAGE — ELECTRICAL LOAD
R
EDUCTION ACTIONS — IF EQUIPPED
This vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor
(IBS) to perform additional monitoring of the electrical
system and status of the vehicle battery.
In cases when the IBS detects charging system failure, or
the 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 electrical loads.
Load reduction is only active when the engine is running.
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 load reduction is activated, the message “Battery
Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode” will appear in the
instrument cluster display.
These messages indicate the vehicle battery has a low
state of charge and continues to lose electrical charge at
a rate that the charging system cannot sustain.
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 69.
The electrical loads that may be switched off (if equipped),
and vehicle functions which can be effected by load
reduction:
 Heated Seats / Vented Seats / Heated Wheel
 Heated / Cooled Cup Holders — If Equipped
 Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors
 HVAC System
 150W 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, overloaded 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 Volts portable appliances like vacuum cleaner’s,
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).
