POWER OUTLETS
• There are three 12 Volt electrical outletson this vehicle.
• The front 12 Volt power outlet has power available only when the ignition is placed
in the ACC or RUN position.
• The center console outlet is powered directly from the battery (power available
at all times). Items plugged into this outlet
may discharge the battery and/or prevent
the engine from starting.
• There is also a 12 volt power outlet located on the back of the center console for rear passengers. This power outlet has power available only when the ignition is placed in the
ACC or RUN position.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watt(13 Amp) power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other object in the power outlet as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use of the power
outlet can cause damage not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
