POWER INVERTER
• There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt powerinverter outlet located on the back of
the center console. This outlet can
power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts.
• Press the switch located in the switch bank on the lower instrument panel to
turn the power inverter on. The
indicator light will turn on to indicate
the inverter is producing AC power.
• Press the switch again to turn the power inverter off. The indicator light will turn off.
NOTE: The power inverter is designed with built-in overload protection. If the power
rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will automatically shut down. Once
the electrical device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter should
automatically reset. If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power
inverter may have to be reset manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the
device and plug it in again. To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on
electrical devices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death: Do not use a three-prong adaptor. Do not
insert any objects into the receptacles. Do not touch with wet hands. Close the
lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock
and failure.

POWER OUTLET
• The front power outlet is located in thefront center storage bin of the
instrument panel.
• A second front power outlet is located inside the center console.
• The rear power outlet is located in the right rear cargo area.
• The power outlets are labeled with either a “key” or a “battery” symbol to indicate how the outlet is powered. Power outlets labeled with a “key” are powered when
the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN or ACC position, while the outlets labeled
with a “battery” are connected directly to the battery and powered at all times.
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. See below image for fuse locations.
• 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.
