Use the connection cable to connect an external USB device to the vehicle’s USB/AUX connector port which is located in the center console.

The USB ports on the media hub are equipped with a Smart Electronic Voltage Regulator (Smart Charge) feature. This feature allows a device to charge for up to one hour after the vehicle is powered off.

Integrated Center Console USB/AUX Media HUB

Once the audio device is connected and synchronized to the vehicle’s USB control system (an external USB device may take a few minutes to connect), the audio device starts charging and is ready for use.

Once a device is connected to the USB port, it will begin charging and is ready for use with the system. Type C and Type A charge-only USB ports can be used at the same time but cannot be used simultaneously while playing media. When both Type C and Type A charge-only USB ports are in use they will be charged at a reduced rate.

Note:

If the audio device battery is completely discharged, it may not communicate with the USB control system until a minimum charge is attained. Leaving the audio device connected to the USB control system may charge it to the required level.

USING THIS FEATURE

By using an external USB device to connect to the USB port:

• The audio device can be played on the vehicle’s sound system, providing metadata (artist, track title, album, etc.) information on the radio display.

  Note:

  Depending on track configuration, track information may not be present on the radio display.

• The audio device can be controlled using the radio buttons to Play, Browse, and List the contents.

• The audio device battery charges when plugged into the USB/AUX connector (if supported by the specific audio device).

Note:

For further information, refer to the Uconnect Owner’s Manual Supplement.

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS

Your vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlets that can be used to power cellular phones, small electronics and other low powered electrical accessories. The power outlets are labeled with either a “key” or a “battery” symbol to indicate how the outlet is powered. Power outlets labeled with a key symbol are powered when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position, while the outlets labeled with a battery symbol are connected directly to the battery, and are powered at all times.

Note:

• All accessories connected to the battery powered outlets should be removed or turned off when the vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against discharge.

• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded the fuse protecting the system needs to be replaced.

• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other object in the power outlets as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

The front power outlet is located to the right of the climate controls.

Front Power Outlet

In addition to the front power outlet, there is also a power outlet located in the storage area of the center console.

Front Center Console Outlet

If your vehicle is equipped with a rear full center console, there is also a power outlet located in the lower storage area of the rear full center console.

Rear Full Center Console Outlet

The rear cargo power outlet is located in the right rear cargo area.

Rear Cargo Power Outlet

Note:

The rear cargo power outlet can be changed to “battery” powered at all times by switching the power outlet right rear quarter panel fuse in the fuse panel from fuse location F90 to F91.

WARNING:

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.

• Do not touch with wet hands.

• Close the lid when not in use and while driving the vehicle.

• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock and failure.

CAUTION:

• Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power from the vehicle's battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.

• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the battery even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and with greater caution.

• After the use of high power draw accessories, or long periods of the vehicle not being started (with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a sufficient length of time to allow the generator to recharge the vehicle's battery.

POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED

There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt inverter outlet located on the back of the center console to convert DC current to AC current. This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power devices requiring power up to 150 Watts. Certain video game consoles exceed this power limit, as will most power tools.

Power Inverter

The power inverter is designed with built-in overload protection. If the power rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter automatically shuts down. Once the electrical device has been removed from the outlet the inverter should automatically reset. To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to using the inverter.

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.

WIRELESS CHARGING PAD — IF EQUIPPED

Wireless Charging Pad

Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi wireless charging pad located below the center stack by the cupholders. This charging pad is designed to wirelessly charge your Qi enabled mobile phone. Qi is a standard that allows wireless charging of your mobile phone.

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 a 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 to hold your mobile phone in place, and an LED indicator.

LED Indicator Status:

• No Light: Charging pad is idle or searching for a device.

• Blue Light: Device is detected, and is charging.

• Red Light/Flashing: Internal error, or foreign object is detected.

Important Notes Regarding This Vehicle’s Wireless Charging Pad:

• The wireless charging pad will not work if any of the four doors or the liftgate are open, even if the engine is running.

• Wireless charging is not as fast as when the phone is connected to a wired charger.

• The phone’s protective case must be removed when placed on the wireless charging pad.

• 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 temperature). 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.

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.
