Power Outlets
The vehicle has two accessory
power outlets; one is located below
the climate control system and
the other is inside the center storage
console.
The accessory power outlets do not
work when the key is removed
from the ignition and the driver door
is opened, this helps to preserve
the battery life of the vehicle.
Certain power accessory plugs may
not be compatible to the accessory
power outlet and could result in
blown vehicle or adapter fuses.
If you experience a problem,
see your dealer/retailer for additional
information on the accessory
power plugs.Notice:Adding any electrical
equipment to the vehicle can
damage it or keep other
components from working as
they should. The repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Each outlet is rated to
a maximum output of 120W.
Usage of equipment exceeding
an amperage rating of 20A may
require fuse replacement. Check
with your dealer/retailer 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 the 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.
Warning Lights,
Gages, and Indicators
Warning lights come on when
there could be a problem with a
vehicle function. Some warning
lights come on briefly when
the engine is started to indicate
they are working.
Gages can indicate when there
could be a problem with a vehicle
function. Often gages and warning
lights work together to indicate
a problem with the vehicle.
When one of the warning lights
comes on and stays on while
driving, or when one of the gages
shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.

Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system. SeePassenger
Sensing System on page 2-28
for important safety information.
The overhead console has a
passenger airbag status indicator.When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator
will light ON and OFF, or the symbol
for on and off, for several seconds
as a system check. If you are
using remote start to start your
vehicle from a distance, if equipped,
you may not see the system
check. Then, after several seconds,
the status indicator will light either
ON or OFF, or either the on or
off symbol to let you know the status
of the right front passenger frontal
airbag.
If the word ON or the on symbol is
lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the right front
passenger frontal airbag is enabled
(may inflate).If the word OFF or the off symbol is
lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the
passenger sensing system has
turned off the right front passenger
frontal airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if
there are no lights at all, there may
be a problem with the lights or
the passenger sensing system.
See your dealer/retailer for service.
{WARNING
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have
the vehicle serviced right away.
