POWER OUTLET
To the right of the convenience tray (lower center of

accessories. Pull lightly on the tab of the plastic cover to
access the outlet.
There is a rear power outlet located in the right rear cargo
area rearward of the storage bin/CD changer (if equipped).
The power outlets are a direct feed from the battery so
they receive power whether the ignition is in the ON or
OFF position.
All accessories connected to this outlet should be re-
moved or turned off when the vehicle is not in use to
protect the battery against discharge.

Electrical Disturbances
Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during
transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude,
and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They
interfere very little with the frequency variations that
carry the FM signal.
AM Reception
AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception
can be disrupted by such things as lightning, power lines
and neon signs.
FM Reception
Because FM transmission is based on frequency varia-
tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations
can be filtered out, leaving the reception relatively clear,
which is the major feature of FM radio.
