ACC. Pull down the small cover to access
the outlet.
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.This circuit is protected by a fuse and has a
maximum current level. Do not use equipment
exceeding the maximum amperage rating.
Certain power accessory plugs may not be
compatible to the power accessory outlet and could
result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you
experience a problem see your dealer for additional
information on the power accessory plugs.
Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to
your vehicle may damage it or keep other
components from working as they should. The
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not use equipment exceeding maximum
amperage rating of 20 amperes. Check with
your dealer before adding electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to
follow the proper installation instructions included
with the equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet can
cause damage not covered by your warranty.
Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug because the
power outlets are designed for accessory
power plugs only.

Your vehicle also has a safety belt reminder light
for the right front passenger position.
This light is located on
the center of the
instrument panel, above
the audio system.
When the key is turned to ON or START, this light
will come on as a reminder for the right front
passenger to fasten their safety belt. This light will
ash until the right front passenger’s safety belt
is buckled. The passenger’s safety belt reminder
light will not come on if the right front passenger’s
belt is already buckled or if a sensor does not
detect the weight of a passenger in that seat.
If something is placed on the right front passenger
seat, the sensors in the seat may detect that
object and cause the right front passenger safety
belt reminder light to come on. If this happens,
remove the object.Airbag Readiness Light
There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument
panel cluster, which shows the airbag symbol. The
system checks the airbag’s electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an
electrical problem. The system monitors the airbag
sensor assembly, front airbag sensors,
seat-mounted side impact and roof-mounted airbag
sensors, driver’s seat position sensor, driver’s seat
belt buckle switch, right front occupant sensing
system and indicator light, front passenger’s seat
belt buckle switch, seat belt pretensioner
assemblies, inators, interconnecting wiring and
power sources. For more information on the airbag
system, seeAirbag System on page 63.
This light will come on
briey when you start
your vehicle, then
it should go out. This
means the system
is ready.

Care of Your CDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the
bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a
CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD will not play properly or not
at all. If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a
soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in
a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with
water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process
starts from the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.
Care of the CD Player
Do not use CD lens cleaners for CD players
because the lens of the CD optics can become
contaminated by lubricants.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The xed mast antenna can withstand most car
washes without being damaged. If the mast should
ever become slightly bent, straighten it out by
hand. If the mast is badly bent, replace it.
Check occasionally to make sure the mast is still
tightened to the antenna base located on the
roof of the vehicle. If tightening is required, tighten
by hand.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
The XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is located on
the roof of your vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of
snow and ice build up for clear radio reception.
A vehicle with a sunroof might not get the
best performance from the XM™ system if the
sunroof is open.
Loading items onto the roof of your vehicle can
interfere with the performance of the XM™ system.
Make sure the XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is
not obstructed.
