Clear snow and ice from the wiper blades before using them. If frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. Damaged blades should be replaced. See Wiper Blade Replacement 0 322.

Wipe Parking

If the ignition is turned off while the wipers are on LO, HI, or 3, they will

immediately stop.

If the windshield wiper control is ON then moved to OFF before the driver door is opened or within 10 minutes, the wipers will restart and move to the base of the windshield.

If the ignition is turned off while the wipers are performing wipes due to windshield washing, the wipers continue to run until they reach the base of the windshield.

The vehicle may have a compass display on the Driver Information Center (DIC). The compass receives its heading and other information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and vehicle speed information.

The compass system is designed to operate for a certain number of miles or degrees of turn before needing a signal from the GPS satellites. When the compass display shows CAL, drive the vehicle for a short distance in an open area where it can receive a GPS signal. The compass system will automatically determine when a GPS signal is restored and provide a heading again.

Set the time and date using the infotainment system. See "Time / Date" under Settings 0 181.

Accessory power outlets can be used to plug in electrical equipment, such as a cell phone or MP3 player.

Rear of Front Center Console

The vehicle has one accessory power outlet under the climate control system and one accessory power outlet on the rear of the center console, if equipped, or on the rear of the bench seat, if equipped.

Lift the cover to access and replace when not in use.

Certain power accessory plugs may not be compatible with the accessory power outlet and could overload vehicle or adapter fuses. If a problem is experienced, see your dealer.

When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment. See Add-On Electrical Equipment 0 297.

If equipped, the vehicle has two alternating current power outlets.

In Cab Power Outlet and DC/AC Switch

Truck Bed Power Outlet

When the ignition is on, power is supplied to the outlets after the DC/AC switch is pressed. A green indicator light on the DC/ AC switch indicates when the DC/AC operation is active. One power outlet can be used with electrical equipment that uses a maximum of 400 watts. If both outlets are being used, 400 watts will be shared between the outlets. Ensure that all connected devices do not exceed 400 watts.

The power outlet can be turned off by pressing the DC/AC switch. The power outlet can be turned back on after 10 seconds, during which the indicator light on the switch will flash.

An indicator light on the outlet illuminates when power is provided to the outlet and no system fault is detected. The outlets will not operate when the ignition is off, the DC/AC switch is not pressed, or the plug is not fully seated into the outlet.

If equipment is connected using more than 400 watts or a system fault is detected, a protection circuit shuts off the power supply and the indicator light turns off.

Do not use a power outlet with a missing or damaged cover.

The power outlet is not designed for the following, and may not work properly if they are plugged in:

    Equipment with high initial peak wattage, such as compressor-driven refrigerators and electric power tools
    Other equipment requiring an extremely stable power supply, such as microcomputer-controlled electric blankets and touch sensor lamps
    Medical equipment

The vehicle may have wireless charging on the center console in front of the cupholders. The system operates at 145 kHz

and wirelessly charges one Qi compatible smartphone. The power output of the system is capable of charging at a rate up to 3 amp (19.5 W) as requested by the compatible smartphone. See Radio Frequency Statement 0 409.

The vehicle must be on, in ACC/ACCESSORY, or Retained Accessory Power (RAP) must be active. The wireless charging feature may not correctly indicate charging when the vehicle is in RAP, or during Bluetooth phone calls. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

0 229.

The operating temperature is −20 °C (−4 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) for the charging system and 0 °C (32 °F) to 35 °C (95 °F) for the smartphone.

To charge a compatible smartphone:

    Remove all objects from the charging pad. The system may not charge if there are any objects between the smartphone and charging pad.
    Place the smartphone face up on the @

symbol on the charging pad.

To maximize the charge rate, ensure the smartphone is fully seated and centered in the holder with nothing under it.

A thick smartphone case may prevent the wireless charger from working,

or may reduce the charging performance. See your dealer for additional information.

    A green } will appear on the V on the infotainment display. This indicates that the smartphone is properly positioned and charging. If a smartphone is placed on the charging pad and } does not display, remove the smartphone from the pad, turn it

180 degrees, and wait three seconds before placing/aligning the smartphone on the pad again.

    If } turns yellow, ensure that the charging pad is clear of any objects and that the smartphone is capable of wireless charging before re-positioning it. If } does not illuminate, the smartphone may need to re-positioned.

The smartphone may become warm during charging. This is normal. In warmer temperatures, the speed of charging may be reduced.
