POWER OUTLETS

• There are two 12 Volt electrical outlets on

this vehicle.

• The instrument panel power outlet,

located below the climate control knobs,
has power available only when the ignition
is ON. This power outlet will also operate
a conventional cigar lighter unit.

• There is also a power outlet located on the inside of the center console. This power outlet

is powered directly from the battery (power available at all times). Items plugged into this
power outlet may discharge the battery and/or prevent the engine from starting.

NOTE:

• 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 will need to be replaced.

• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other object in the

power outlet 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 warranty.
