ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS
This vehicle has three 12-Volt auxiliary power outlets that
can provide up to 20 Amps of current for accessories
designed for use with the standard power outlet adapt-
ers. 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 automatically when ready for use.To preservethe heating element, do not hold the lighter in the
heating position.
There are two additional 12-Volt (20 total Amps for both
outlets) power outlets, one located in the storage bin of
the center console and another located in the right rear
cargo area. These outlets can be configured by the
customer to operate only when the ignition is ON
(switched battery fed) or with the ignition ON or OFF
(battery fed) to allow for cellular telephone charging and
operation while the ignition is OFF.
NOTE:All accessories connected to these outlets should
be removed or turned off when the vehicle is not in use
to protect the battery against discharge (unless the cus-
tomer has configured the fuse block to switched battery
feed).

115-Volt Inverter Outlet — If Equipped
This vehicle may also be equipped with a 115-Volt (150
Watts Maximum) outlet on the rear of the front center
console.
This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring power up to 150 Watts.Certain high-end video games, such as Playstation3 and
XBox360 will exceed this power limit, as will most power
tools. Due to built-in overload protection, the power outlet
will shut down if the power rating is exceeded. Each
device to be powered should be checked first to make sure
it does not exceed the outlet’s 150 Watts maximum rating.

recommend that you take the following steps to mini-
mize the drain on your vehicle’s battery:
•Disconnect the Ignition Off Draw (I.O.D.) fuses located
in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The I.O.D.
cavity includes a snap-in retainer that allows the fuse
to be disconnected without removing it from the fuse
block.
•The transfer case should be placed in the 4HI mode
and kept in this position to minimize the battery drain.
•As an alternative to the above steps you may discon-
nect the negative cable from the battery.
