POWER OUTLET
• The power outlet is located on the instrument panel below the climate
control and is powered when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN
position.
• The outlet can operate a conventional cigar lighter unit or power
accessories designed for use with a standard power outlet adapter.
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.
