WARNINGS
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, accident and
injury. Ford strongly recommends
that you use extreme caution when using
any device or feature that may take your
focus off the road. Your primary
responsibility is the safe operation of the
vehicle. We recommend against the use

Store the portable music player in a
secure location, such as the center
console or the glove box, when the
vehicle is in motion. Hard objects may
become projectiles in a collision or sudden
stop, which may increase the risk of serious
injury. The audio extension cable must be
long enough to allow the portable music
player to be safely stored while the vehicle
is in motion.

WARNING
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket (if equipped). Improper use
of the lighter can cause damage not
covered by your warranty, and can result
in fire or serious injury.
Note: Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Note: Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element.
Note: Improper use of the power point can
cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Run the engine for full capacity use of the
power point. To prevent the battery from
being discharged:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the engine is not
running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when the vehicle is parked
for extended periods.
Locations
Power points may be found:
• on the center console
• inside the center console storage bin
• on the rear of the center console. 110 Volt AC Power Point (If Equipped)
WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices
plugged in the power point whenever
the device is not in use. Do not use
any extension cord with the 110 volt AC
power point, since it will defeat the safety
protection design provided by the cap and
twist tab. Doing so my cause the power
point to overload due to powering multiple
devices that can reach beyond the 150
watt load limit and could result in fire or
serious injury.
Note: The power point will turn off after 13
minutes if the ignition is on without the
engine running. Keep the engine running or
cycle the ignition to keep the power point
on.
The power point is used for powering
electrical devices that require up to 150
watts. It is located on the rear of the center
console.
When the green indicator light, located on
the power point, is:
• on — power point is ready to supply
power.
• off — power point power supply is off;
ignition is not on.
• blinking — power point is in fault mode.

Auxiliary Power Points
E143941

The power point temporarily turns off
power if the 150 watt limit is exceeded. It
can also switch to a fault mode when it is
overloaded, overheated, or shorted. Unplug
your device and turn the ignition off then
on for overloading and shorting conditions.
Let the system cool off, then turn the
ignition off then on for an overheating
condition.
The power point is not designed for electric
devices such as:
•Cathode ray tube type televisions
• Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners,
electric saws and other electric power
tools, compressor-driven refrigerators,
etc.
• Measuring devices, which process
precise data, such as medical
equipment, measuring equipment, etc.
• Other appliances requiring an
extremely stable power supply:
microcomputer-controlled electric
blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.
