iPhone® 12 (including iPod®) is equipped with
software 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 charging pad. This may just be a
protective measure to prevent damage to the phone.UV-C LIGHT — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a UV-C light located
inside the glove compartment used to hygienize surface
areas of items placed inside. The UV-C light hygienizes
using a very specialized, and high powered, UV-C light
source.
NOTE:No chemicals are used in the hygienizing process.
The UV-C light switch is located on the instrument panel,
below the radio.

UV-C Light Switch

Operating Instructions

1. Place item to be hygienized inside the glove compartment, and close the door completely.

2. Push the UV-C light switch on the instrument panel to start the operation. The LED indicator light on the
switch will turn on (blue) during the UV-C hygienizing
operation. The LED indicator light will remain on and solid until the
hygienizing operation is complete. The indicator light will
turn off, and an audible chime will be heard when the
operation is successfully completed.
NOTE:One complete hygienizing cycle takes about three
minutes.
If the hygienizing operation is interrupted or stopped, the
LED indicator light will blink for five seconds, and the UV-C
light will be ready for a new cycle when the blinking has
stopped.
Any objects placed in the glove compartment for
hygienizing must be repositioned as many times as
necessary to ensure that the UV-C light hits every surface
of the object.
NOTE:

The UV-C light only operates with the ignition in the
ON/RUN position.
 The UV-C light is not intended for medical use. Use of
the UV-C light does not guarantee that the user will
avoid illness.
 Surfaces must be directly exposed to the UV ray in
order to be hygienized. Rays will not penetrate mate -
rials like cloth, paper, or regular glass. Therefore, it is
important to remove items from the direct line of sight
that would block or shield the rays from other surfaces.
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.

The inverter can be turned on by the Instrument Panel
Power Inverter switch located to the left of the steering
wheel. The RamBox inverter can power cellular phones,
electronics and other low power devices requiring power
up to 400 Watts. Certain video game consoles exceed this
power limit, as will most power tools.

RamBox Power Inverter

The Instrument Panel Power Inverter switch is only found
on vehicles equipped with a RamBox. The switch only
controls on/off operation of the power outlet in the
RamBox; it does not control on/off operation of the power
outlets located inside the cabin of the vehicle.
