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 bat-
tery even more quickly. Only use these intermit-
tently 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, electron-

ics and other low power devices requiring power up to

150 Watts. Certain high-end video games, such as Play-

station3 and XBox360 will exceed this power limit, as will

most power tools.
