The rear power outlet is a direct feed from the battery so
it receives 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.CAUTION!
Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off
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
alternator to recharge the vehicle's battery.

When the ªTire Pressure Monitor Warning Lightº is lit,
one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated on
the vehicle's tire information placard. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over-
heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect

the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Each tire,
including the spare, should be checked monthly when
cold and set to the recommended inflation pressure as
specified on the vehicle placard.
