Wireless Charging Pad — If Equipped
Wireless Charging PadYour vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi wireless
charging pad located inside of the center console just below
the CD player (if equipped). This charging pad is designed to
wirelessly charge your Qi enabled mobile phone. Qi is a stan
-
dard that uses magnetic induction to transfer power to your
mobile device.
Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi wireless
charging. If the phone is not equipped with Qi wireless
charging functionality, an aftermarket sleeve or a specialized
back plate can be purchased from your mobile phone
provider or an local electronics retailer. Please see your
phone’s owner’s manual for further information.
The wireless charging pad is equipped with an anti-slip mat,
an adjustable cradle to hold your mobile phone in place and
an LED indicator light.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock and failure.
CAUTION!
The key fob should not be placed on the charging pad or
within 15 cm (150 mm) 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.

NOTE:
If you are installing a Toolbox, Ladder Rack or Headache
Rack at the front of the Pickup Box, you must use Mopar Box
Reinforcement Brackets that are available from an autho-
rized dealer.
You can carry wide building materials (sheets of plywood,
etc.) by building a raised load floor. Place lumber across the
box in the indentations provided above the wheel housings
and in the bulkhead dividers to form the floor.
There are stampings in the sheet metal on the inner side
bulkheads of the box in front of and behind both wheel hous-
ings. Place wooden boards across the box from side to side to
create separate load compartments in the pickup box.
There are four tie-down cleats bolted to the lower sides of the
pickup box that can sustain loads up to 1000 lbs (450 kg)
total.
WARNING!
• The pickup box is intended for load carrying purposes only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and
use seat belts.
• Care should always be exercised when operating a vehicle with unrestrained cargo. Vehicle speeds may
need to be reduced. Severe turns or rough roads may
cause shifting or bouncing of the cargo that may result
in vehicle damage. If wide building materials are to be
frequently carried, the installation of a support is
recommended. This will restrain the cargo and transfer
the load to the pickup box floor.
• If you wish to carry more than 600 lbs (272 kg) of mate -
rial suspended above the wheelhouse, supports must
be installed to transfer the weight of the load to the
pickup box floor or vehicle damage may result. The use
of proper supports will permit loading up to the rated
payload.
• Unrestrained cargo may be thrown forward in an acci -
dent causing serious or fatal injury.
