Rear Door Alert
The Rear Door Alert system functions under certain conditions to indicate there may be an object or passenger in the rear seat(s). Check the seat(s) before exiting the vehicle. The Rear Door Alert system is initially disabled. The driver can enable the system using the vehicle information display.
When the system is enabled:
- The system is activated when a rear door is opened and closed within 10 minutes of the vehicle being driven. When the driver’s door is closed and the system is activated, a visual message appears in the vehicle information display.
- If a rear door is opened and closed but the vehicle is not driven within approximately 10 minutes, the system will not be activated. A rear door must be opened and closed and the car must drive within 10 minutes for the system to activate.
When the Rear Door Alert system is activated and a driver exits the vehicle after arriving at a destination:
- When the driver puts the vehicle in the P (Park) position, a message appears in the vehicle information display for a driver to “Dismiss Message” or “Disable Alert” if desired.
- With the system enabled, when the driver exits the vehicle, an audible alert (horn sound) will occur unless a rear door is opened and closed within a short time to deactivate the alert.
- If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a rear door, the horn will sound.
- If the audible horn alert occurs, a message will also appear in the vehicle information display that states, “Check Rear Seat for All Articles”.
WARNING
- If the driver selects “Disable Alert”, no audible alert will be provided regardless of the rear door open/close status.
- There may be times when there is an object or passenger in the rear seat(s) but the audible alert does not sound. For example, this may occur if rear-seat passengers enter or exit the vehicle during a trip.
- The system does not directly detect objects or passengers in the rear seat(s). Instead, it can detect when a rear door is opened and closed, indicating that there may be something in the rear seat(s).
NOTE:
There may be times when the horn sounds but there are no objects or passengers in the rear seat(s).

** OFF means the inverter system cannot be reset until a device is within the specification range of operation. If the device is greater than specified, the inverter will shut OFF. The operating voltage is between 11.5v and 15v. If the vehicle is not idling, the battery voltage will drop which will cause the inverter to shut down when below 11.5v. When the vehicle is in the (P) Park position, it will work at 400W. If the vehicle is in any other shifter position, it will turn off. Do not use the outlet located in the truck box with accessories that exceed 120 volts. Do not use double adapters or more than one electrical accessory.
CAUTION
- Operation of the 120-volt system with the ignition in the ON position and the engine not running (idle) will drain the battery charge. This could lead to a dead battery or no start condition.
- The outlet and plug may be hot during or immediately after use.
Use power outlets with the engine running to avoid discharging the vehicle battery. - Do not use double adaptors or more than one electrical accessory.
- Avoid using power outlets when the air conditioner, headlights, or rear window defroster is on.
- Before inserting or disconnecting a plug, be sure the electrical accessory being used is turned OFF.
- Push the plug in as far as it will go. If good contact is not made, the plug may overheat or the internal temperature fuse may open.
- When not in use, be sure to close the cap. Do not allow water or any other liquid to contact the outlet.
USB CHARGING PORTS (if so equipped)
1st row (if so equipped)

NOTE:
- Not all of the USB charging ports will operate with the display screen. Only the USB connection ports located under the climate controls will allow the operation of USB devices through the audio system.
- For best results, it is recommended to use the manufacturer cables, which are sold separately. A USB Type-A to USB Type-C adapter (or vice versa) can also be purchased separately; however, results may vary.
CAUTION
- Do not force a USB device into the connector. Inserting the USB device tilted or upside down into the connector may damage the connector. Make sure that the USB device is connected correctly to the connector.
- Do not use a reversible USB cable. Using the reversible USB cable may damage the connector.
WIRELESS CHARGER (if so equipped)
- Indicator
- Charging pad
The wireless charger is located on the front of the center console. Lay the smartphone on the pad of the wireless charger. Charging will start automatically. The smartphone will be charged continuously while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
NOTE:
The wireless charger requires the vehicle doors to be closed before charging will start. If the doors are opened, the charging function will not operate.
WARNING

WIRELESS CHARGER INDICATOR
The indicator(1)will illuminate in orange when the charging process is started. When the charging has been completed, the indicator illuminates in green. If a malfunction occurs or the charging process has stopped, the indicator will blink in orange for 8 seconds and then turn off.
WIRELESS CHARGER OPERATION
To use the wireless charger, it is necessary to seat the smartphone well within the charging pad. To maximize charging performance, ensure the smartphone is fully seated on the center of the charging pad over the “Qi” logo OA. Because the location of the power receiver may vary depending on the smartphone, you will need to try and find the area that suits your smartphone. Because some smartphone cases or accessories may adversely affect charging, remove them before wireless charging. Turn off the vibration function of the smartphone before wireless charging.
NOTE:
- Only a Qi-compatible smartphone can be used.
- The smartphone may be warmed during the charging process and the charging may stop by the protection function of the wireless charger. This is not a malfunction. If this occurs, restart charging after the smartphone has cooled down. The indicator will blink in orange and then turn off.
- The wireless charging process may be stopped by the status of the smartphone (battery temperature, etc.).
- If radio noise interference occurs during the charging process, put the smartphone in the center (“Qi” logo) position of the wireless charger.
- The wireless charging process will stop during the process of searching for the Intelligent Key.
- The wireless charging process will not be started when a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable is connected to the smartphone. The indicator may illuminate in orange or blink if the smartphone is put on the wireless charger with a USB cable connected. However, charging is not performed.
- Depending on the type of smartphone, the indicator may remain illuminated in orange even when the charging process has been completed.
