•Many accessories that can be plugged in
draw power from the vehicle's battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones,
etc .). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the
vehicle's battery will discharge sufficiently to de-
grade battery life and/or prevent the engine from
starting.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., cool-
ers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc .) will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these inter-
mittently and with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehicle's batter y.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs
only. Do not hang any type of accessory or acces-
sory bracket from the plug.
CUPHOLDERS
There are two cupholders, located in the center floor
console, for the front passengers.
(fig. 90)
For passengers in the second row there are two cup-
holders, located in the center armrest between the

If containers of hot liquid are placed in
the bott

le holder, they can spill when the
door is closed, burning the occupants. Be careful
when closing the doors to avoid injury.

sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other body
parts, or any object , to project through the sun-
roof opening. Injury may result .

WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the
ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof (for versions/markets,
where provided) in certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be
minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear win-
dows open, open the front and rear windows together
to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with
the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to mini-
mize the buffeting or open any window.
