ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS
The outlets include tethered caps, labeled with a key
symbol or battery symbol, indicating power source. All
outlets are protected by a single 20 Amp fuse.
The standard outlet in the front of the center floor console
is a conventional cigar lighter outlet.It will accept a cigar lighter unit, which is part of the
optional Smokers Package. To preserve the heating ele-
ment of the cigar lighter unit, do not hold the lighter in
the heating position. As a child safety precaution, this
outlet is powered by the ignition switch, only when the
switch is in the9ON9or9ACCESSORY9positions.

Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off
CAUTION!
²Many 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 engine starting.
²Accessories that draw higher power (i.e. coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these inter-
mittently and with greater caution.
²After 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.
CONSOLE FEATURES
The console has two front cup holders, a coin holder, 12
volt power outlet and a front storage tray. There are
additional cup holders; one is molded in the center of the
console to hold large cups and the other is at the rear of
the console to serve passengers in the rear seat. The floor
console power outlet will also operate a conventional
cigar lighter unit (if equipped with an optional Smoker's
Package).
