AUXILIARY POWER POINT
The power point is an
additional power
source for electrical
accessories. A power
point is located in front
of the center console
storage bin.
Do not plug optional
electrical accessories into the cigarette lighter. Use
the power point.
Do not use the power point for operating the
cigarette lighter element.
The Maximum power each power point can supply
depends on the fuse rating. For example: a 20A fuse
should supply a maximum of 240 Watts, a 15A fuse
should supply a maximum of 180 Watts and a 10A
fuse should supply a maximum of 120 Watts.
Exceeding these limits will result in a blown fuse.
Always keep the power point caps closed when not
being used.
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs
only. Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use
of the power outlet can cause damage not
covered by your warranty.

When closing
the power
windows, you should
verify they are free
of obstructions and
