The total power delivered is divided

if more than one outlet is used.

POWER OUTLET
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: 

Do not use an

extension cord or connect multiple
devices to the power outlet. Doing so
could result in overloading the power
outlet. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in fire, personal injury or
property damage.

WARNING: 

Do not keep electrical

devices plugged into the power outlet
whenever the device is not in use. The
outlet provides power when the vehicle
is on. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury.

POWER OUTLET LIMITATIONS

You should not use the power outlet for
these types of electric devices:
•

Cathode ray tube type televisions.

•

Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners,
electric saws or other electric power
tools and compressor-driven
refrigerators.

•

Measuring devices which process
precise data, such as medical
equipment or measuring equipment.

•

Other appliances requiring an
extremely stable power supply, such
as microcomputer-controlled electric
blankets or touch sensor lamps.

Note:

Some devices may exceed the power

rating on the device label when they are
initially plugged-in and may require you to
press the device power button more than
one time in order to allow a soft start. After
multiple attempts, if the device remains off,
please consider that your device may require
more than the available power.

Note:

The power outlet provides full

available power when the vehicle is in park
(P). Power availability may be reduced
when the vehicle is in drive (D). If more than
one outlet is available in the vehicle, power
is divided between the outlets that are in
use at the same time.

WHAT IS THE WIRELESS
ACCESSORY CHARGER

The wireless accessory charger allows you
to charge one compatible Qi wireless
charging device on the charging area.

WIRELESS ACCESSORY
CHARGER PRECAUTIONS

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.

Keep the charging area clean and remove
foreign objects prior to charging a device.

Do not place items with a magnetic strip
or radio-frequency identification chip, for
example passports, parking tickets,
transportation passes or credit cards, near
the charging area when charging a device.
Damage could occur to the magnetic strip
or radio-frequency identification chip.

Do not place metal objects, for example
remote controls, coins and candy
wrappers, on or near the charging area
when charging a device. Metal objects may
heat up and degrade the charging
performance, in addition to causing
interruptions in charging.

Charging could be interrupted, degraded,
or could stop if any of the following occur:

•

The system detects a foreign object.

•

The device is misaligned on the
charging area.

•

The device moves on the active
charging area when the vehicle is in
motion.

•

The vehicle ambient temperature is too
high.

•

You attempt to charge a non-Qi
compatible device on the wireless
charger.

Note:

During charging, the device and the

charger could heat up, this is normal. If the
battery gets hotter than usual, the device
may stop charging.

LOCATING THE WIRELESS
ACCESSORY CHARGER

E297549

The charging area is on the
center console or in the media
bin below the instrument panel.

CHARGING A WIRELESS
DEVICE

STARTING AND STOPPING
THE ENGINE – PRECAUTIONS

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 are toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start
the engine. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

WARNING: 

Do not use starting

fluid, for example ether, in the air intake
system. Such fluid could cause
immediate explosive damage to the
engine and possible personal injury.

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.

The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.

If you stop your vehicle and leave the
engine idling for long periods, we
recommend that you do one of the
following:
•

Open the windows at least 1 in
(2.5 cm).

•

Set your climate control to outside air.
