automatically turn the lamp off after 20 minutes. This will
avoid draining the battery.

electrical equipment such as a cellular phone or
CB radio.

instrument panel near the climate controls and on the
rear of the center console.

Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem, see your retailer for additional information
on the accessory power outlet.
