The USB charging ports are used to supply 2.5 A (USB Type-A port)
or 3.0 A (USB Type-C port) of electricity at 5 V to external devices
(power consumption of 12.5 W [USB Type-A port] or 15 W [USB Type-
C port]).
The USB charging ports are for charging only. They are not designed
for data transfer or other purposes.
Depending on the external device, it may not charge properly. Refer to
the manual included with the device before using a USB charging
port.
■Using the USB charging ports
■The USB charging ports can be used when
The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.
■Situations in which the USB charging ports may not operate correctly
●If a device which consumes more than 2.5 A at 5 V (12.5 W) (USB Type-A
port) or 3.0 A at 5 V (15 W) (USB Type-C port) is connected
●If a device designed to communicate with a personal computer, such as a
USB memory device, is connected
●If the connected external device is turned off (depending on device)
●If the temperature inside the vehicle is high, such as after the vehicle has
been parked in the sun
■About connected external devices

charged, place the connector side of
the device on the raised portions near
the cutout.
