2008 JEEP WRANGLER AUX

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETThis vehicle has two auxiliary power outlets that can
provide up to 20 Amps of current for accessories de-
signed for use with the standard power outlet adapters.
The outlet located in the lower portion of the instrument
panel has a snap-on plastic cap so that it can be covered
when not in use. As a safety precaution, the outlet in the
instrument panel only operates with the ignition switch
ON. When the optional cigar lighter heating element is
used, it heats when pushed in and pops out automati-
cally when ready for use.To preserve the heating
element, do not hold the lighter in the heating position.
The right side outlet is powered directly from the battery
(power available at all times). Items plugged into this
outlet may discharge the battery and/or prevent engine
starting. The left side outlet has power available only when the
ignition is on. This outlet will also operate a conventional
cigar lighter unit.
