POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED

A 115 Volt (400 Watts Maximum) inverter may be located inside the center console towards the right hand side. This inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts. Certain high-end video game consoles exceed this power limit, as will most power tools.

There is also a second 115 Volt (400 Watts Maximum) power inverter located on the rear of the center console. This inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts. Certain high-end video game consoles exceed this power limit, as will most power tools.

All power inverters are designed with built-in overload protection. If the power rating of 400 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter shuts down. Once the electrical device has been removed from the outlet the inverter should reset.

NOTE:

400 Watts is the maximum for the inverter, not each outlet. If three outlets are in use, 400 Watts is shared amongst the devices plugged in.

If equipped with a front bench seat, there may be a 115 Volt (400 Watts Maximum) inverter located to the right of the center stack, just below the climate controls. This inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power devices requiring power up to

400 Watts. Certain high-end video game consoles exceed this power limit, as will most power tools.

To turn on the power outlet, simply plug in the device. The outlet turns off when the device is unplugged.

    The Center Stack Power Inverter is only avail- able on vehicles equipped with a front bench seat.
    The power inverter only turns on if the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
    Due to built-in overload protection, the power inverter shuts down if the power rating is exceeded.

WIRELESS CHARGING PAD — IF EQUIPPED

Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi wireless charging pad located inside of the center console. 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, an adjustable cradle to hold your mobile phone in place, and an LED indicator light.

Using a phone case may interfere with wireless charging.
