Accessory Power Outlet
With the accessory power outlet, you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment. The accessory power
outlet is located in the center console near the parking
brake. Just remove the cap from the outlet and follow
the proper instructions that are included with any
electrical equipment you install.
These circuits are protected by a fuse and have
maximum current levels.
NOTICE:
When using the accessory power outlet,
maximum electrical loads must not exceed
15 amps. Always turn off any electrical
equipment when not in use. Leaving electrical
equipment on for extended periods will drain
your battery.
Convertible Top (If Equipped)
Your convertible top features a sunroof, a removable
rear window and removable side windows.
NOTICE:
Never raise or lower the top while the
vehicle is moving, or drive with any part of
the top unfastened or partially removed.
The wind could get under it and
cause damage.
Do not take your vehicle through an
automatic car wash. It could damage your
convertible top.

NOTICE:
If the other system isn't a 12-volt system with a
negative ground, both vehicles can be damaged.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren't touching
each other. If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you don't want. You wouldn't be able to
start your vehicle, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set
the parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved in
the procedure. Put an automatic transmission vehicle
in PARK (P) and a manual transmission vehicle in
NEUTRAL (N).
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter. Turn off all lamps that aren't needed as well
as radios. This will avoid sparks and help save both
batteries. In addition, it could save your radio!
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn't be covered by
your warranty.
4. Open the hoods on both vehicles and locate the
batteries. Find the positive (+) and negative (
-)
terminals on each battery.
CAUTION:
If your vehicle has air conditioning, the auxiliary
electric fan under the hood can start up even
when the engine is not running and can injure
you. Keep hands, clothing and tools away from
any underhood electric fan.
