POWER INVERTER
• There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverteroutlet located on the left rear trim panel
immediately behind the second row left
passenger seat. This outlet can power cellu-
lar phones, electronics and other low power
devices requiring power up to 150 Watts.
• Press the switch located in the center of the instrument panel to turn the power to the
outlet on.
• Press the switch again to turn the power off.
•
The status indicator of the AC power inverter
indicates whether the inverter is producing
AC power.
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
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• 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 OUTLETS
• Two 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlets are
located on the lower instrument panel,
below the open storage bin. The driver-side
power outlet is controlled by the ignition
switch and the passenger-side power outlet
is connected directly to the battery. The
driver-side power outlet will also operate a
conventional cigar lighter unit (if equipped
with an optional Smoker's Package).

• One outlet in the removable floor console (if equipped) shares a fuse with the lower outlet inthe instrument panel and is also connected to the battery. Do not exceed a maximum power of
160 Watts (13 Amps) shared between the lower panel outlet and the removable floor console
outlet.
• On vehicles equipped with the Super Console the power outlets are located under the retractable cover. To access the power outlets push down on the cover and slide it toward the
instrument panel.
• The outlet in the rear quarter panel near the liftgate and the upper outlet in the instrument panel are both controlled by the ignition switch. Each of these outlets can support 160 Watts
(13 Amps). Do not exceed 160 Watts (13 Amps) for each of these outlets.
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.

JUMP-STARTING
• If your vehicle has a discharged battery itcan be jump-started using a set of jumper
cables and a battery in another vehicle or by
using a portable battery booster pack.
• Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures
in this section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack
follow the manufacturer’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
Preparations For Jump-Start
• The battery in your vehicle is located on the left side of the engine compartment.
• Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to LOCK.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
• If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
Jump-Starting Procedure
1. Connect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable to the positive (+)post of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper cable to the positive (+)post of the
booster battery.
3. Connect the negative (-)end of the jumper cable to the negative (-)post of the booster
battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)jumper cable to a good engine ground
(exposed metal part of the discharged vehicle’s engine) away from the battery and the fuel
injection system.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
1. Disconnect the negative (-)end of the jumper cable from the engine ground of the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative (-)jumper cable from the negative (-)post of
the booster battery.

3. Disconnect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable from the positive (+)post of the booster
battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper cable from the positive (+)post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
NOTE:
If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the battery and
charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
• Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.
• Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
• Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (e.g., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in
long enough, the vehicle’s battery discharges sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or
prevent the engine from starting.
WARNING!
• When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged battery mayfreeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be brought above the freezing point
before attempting a jump-start.
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might make an inadver-
tent electrical contact. You could be severely injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas
which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks away from the battery.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage due to
battery explosion.
• Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in personal injury.
