Electrical Outlet Use With Engine OFF (Battery
Fed Configuration)
CAUTION!
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 discharge the
battery even more quickly. Only use these inter-
mittently and with greater caution.
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
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
generator to recharge the vehicle's battery.
Configuring Power Outlets
To configure the outlets, be sure the ignition is OFF before
removing the fuse. The ªreconfigurableº fuse location is a
special design that allows the fuse to be installed in two
different ways. If the fuse is located in the9Upper or Top
Position9the outlets will work at all times. If the fuse is
located in the9Lower or Bottom Position9the power
outlets will only work when the ignition is ON.
