Cargo Lamp
If your vehicle is the MAXX model, it has a cargo
lamp. The cargo lamp comes on when the liftgate is
opened. If you want to leave the liftgate open you
can turn off the cargo lamp by pushing on the lens.
Battery Run-Down Protection
Your vehicle has a battery run-down protection
feature designed to protect your vehicle’s battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading, or visor
vanity) is left on while the ignition is turned off,
the battery run-down protection system will
automatically shut the lamp(s) off after 20 minutes.
This will avoid draining the battery.
To reactivate the interior lamps, do one of the
following:
Turn on the ignition.
Turn the exterior lamp control off and then on.
Open a door.
Press any remote keyless entry transmitter
button (if equipped).
Press the remote trunk release button.
Press the power door lock switch.The battery run-down feature will also be activated
when any door on the vehicle is left open and
the ignition is in OFF.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
With accessory power outlets you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone.
For vehicles with Traction Control system, the
accessory power outlets are located on the front
of the center console storage area and also
inside the console storage compartment. The
compartment has notches that allow power cords
to be routed outside of the console while the
lid is closed. On vehicles without Traction Control,
both outlets are located on the front of the
center console storage area. There is also an
outlet in the rear cargo area of the MAXX.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on
for extended periods will drain the battery.
Always turn off electrical equipment when
not in use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum amperage rating.

game unit to the RSE system. The yellow RCA
jack is used for video inputs, the red RCA jack
for right audio inputs, and the white RCA jack
for left audio inputs. The system requires
standard RCA cables, not included, to connect
the auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to
the manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs,
connect an external auxiliary device such as a
camcorder to the RCA jacks and turn on both
the auxiliary device power and the power on the
