Accessory Power Outlet(s)

Accessory power outlets can be used to connect
electrical equipment, such as a cellular phone.

The accessory power outlets are located on the
instrument panel below the climate controls and at the
rear of the center console. There may be an outlet in the
rear cargo area on the passenger side.

To use the outlet, remove the cover. While not in use,
always cover the outlet with the protective cap.

Notice: Leaving electrical equipment plugged in for
an extended period of time while the vehicle is off
will drain the battery. Power is always supplied
to the outlets. Always unplug electrical equipment
when not in use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum 20 ampere rating.

Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem, see your dealer/retailer for additional
information on the accessory power outlet.

Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to the
vehicle can damage it or keep other components
from working as they should. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not use
equipment exceeding maximum amperage rating of
20 amperes. Check with your dealer/retailer before
adding electrical equipment.

When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the
installation instructions included with the equipment.

Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can
cause damage not covered by the vehicle warranty.
Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory
bracket from the plug because the power outlets are
designed for accessory power plugs only.
